Inorganic nanoparticles and their applications in cosmetology

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field of knowledge that finds application in many areas of everyday life – from cosmetology, medicine, the food industry, and environmental protection. This study aimed to present inorganic nanoparticles, as well as nanotechnology itself, with a limitation to its cosmetic applications and a focus on the safety aspect. Despite the vast potential and wide range of prospectiveuses, nanotechnology still raises numerous concerns regarding its application. One of the issues is the insufficient investigation of the enduring impacts of nanoparticles on the human body. However, nanoparticles are commonly found in the environment and their usage is expanding.
