Nanotechnology is an innovative area of science that deals with things smaller than 100 nanometers. The influence of nanotechnology in the cosmetic industry is overwhelming since it can enhance the properties attained by the particles at the nano level, including color, solubility, etc, and can also promote the bioavailability of API. A plethora of nanomaterials can be employed in cosmetics, including organic and inorganic nanoparticles. Unlike orthodox carriers, they facilitate easy penetration of the product into the skin, thereby increasing the stability and allowing a controlled drug release so that they can permeate deeper into the skin and start revitalizing it. Nanomaterials rejuvenate the skin by forming an occlusive barrier to inhibit the loss of water from the skin's surface and thereby moisturize the skin. Nano-cosmeceuticals are used to provide better protection against UV radiation, facilitate deeper skin penetration, and give long-lasting effects. Although they still have some safety concerns, hence detailed characterization or risk assessments are required to fulfill the standard safety requirements. In this review, an attempt is made to make a brief overview of various nanocosmeceuticals skincare and anti-aging products.
纳米技术是一门创新性的科学领域,研究对象是小于 100 纳米的物质。纳米技术在化妆品行业的影响是压倒性的,因为它可以增强纳米级颗粒的特性,包括颜色、溶解度等,还可以提高 API 的生物利用度。许多纳米材料可用于化妆品,包括有机和无机纳米粒子。与传统载体不同,它们可以促进产品轻松渗透到皮肤中,从而提高稳定性并允许控制药物释放,以便它们能够更深入地渗透到皮肤中并开始使其焕发生机。纳米材料通过形成封闭性屏障来抑制皮肤表面水分的流失,从而滋润皮肤,使皮肤恢复活力。纳米化妆品用于提供更好的紫外线辐射防护,促进更深层的皮肤渗透,并产生持久的效果。尽管它们仍然存在一些安全问题,因此需要进行详细的特征描述或风险评估,以满足标准的安全要求。在这篇综述中,我们尝试简要概述各种纳米化妆品护肤品和抗衰老产品。
