“…Nowadays because of environmental fates, natural based surfactants can be used instead of industrial surfactants and many researchers have studied on these kinds of surfactants in recent years. The first natural surfactant was Quillaja Saponaria Molina that was extracted from a Chilean Soar bark tree 5) . Shahri et al 6) used Amott cell to extract a natural surfactant from Zizyphus Spina-Christi and introduced the application of this surfactant in oil recovery.…”

In this study, two types of plants based natural cationic surfactants, named Mulberry and Henna are introduced and the application of these natural surfactants in wettability alteration of reservoir rock and reducing the interfacial tension of water-oil system is investigated. For this purpose, two natural-based surfactants were extracted from the leaves of the trees of addressed plants and then the interfacial tension (IFT) values between oil and natural surfactant solution and also the contact angle values between natural surfactant solution and rock sample were measured. The results demonstrated that Mulberry extract was able to lower the interfacial tension between oil and distilled water from 43.9 to 4.01 mN/m, while Henna extract could reduce the IFT from 43.9 to 3.05 mN/m. These natural surfactants were also able to reduce the contact angle of rock/fluid system which shows the wettability is altering to water wet system and so it may increase recovery factor by reducing residual oil saturation and Henna extract could reduce the contact angle more than that of Mulberry leaf extract. According to these results in addition to the low price of generating natural surfactants, the feasibility of using these kinds of surfactants in future oil recovery processes is of major concern.

“…They are concentric bilayered vesicles in which the aqueous volume is enclosed by a lipid bilayer of phospholipids [8]. Nanoliposomes are biodegradable and biocompatible, representing a highly adaptable ingredient category for the cosmetic field [9]. They are used as protective carriers of active ingredients (e.g., vitamins), for increasing skin permeability and for moisturizing purposes.…”

“…Over the years, hundreds of cosmetic products began to use NMs, and various world-famous cosmetic brands use NMs in their products [8]. L'Oréal S.A., which invests a great amount of revenue in nanotechnology, ranks sixth in the United States in the number of obtained nanotechnology-related patents [9], and uses up to four nano-ingredients (i.e., TiO 2 , ZnO, silica, carbon black) in some of their formulas [10]. Shiseido uses nano-TiO 2 and ZnO in wet-based formulas (e.g., emulsions), but does not use them in aerosols due to the risk of inhaling [11].…”

Nanomaterials in Cosmetics: Recent Updates

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review paper collects the recent updates regarding the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics. Special focus is given to the applications of nanomaterials in the cosmetic industry, their unique features, as well as the advantages of nanoscale ingredients compared to non-nanoscale products. The state-of-the-art practices for physicochemical and toxicological characterization of nanomaterials are also reviewed. Moreover, special focus is given to the current regulations and safety assessments that are currently in place regarding the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics—the new 2019 European guidance for the safety assessment of nanomaterials in cosmetics, together with the new proposed methodologies for the toxicity evaluation of nanomaterials. Concerns over health risks have limited the further incorporation of nanomaterials in cosmetics, and since new nanomaterials may be used in the future by the cosmetic industry, a detailed characterization and risk assessment are needed to fulfill the standard safety requirements.

“…Moreover, the high refractive index of inorganic filters decreases the aesthetic value of sunscreens due to the unnatural white color acquired by the skin after application [179,180]. To solve these drawbacks, inorganic filters are frequently used in a micro-or even nano-sized form, but this latter form might cause the penetration of the UV filter into the skin, causing skin allergies or irritation [181,182]. Base material for delivery of ingredients to the skin.…”

Calcium phosphates (CaPs) belong to a class of biomimetic materials widely employed for medical applications thanks to their excellent properties, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility and osteoinductivity. The recent trend in the cosmetics field of substituting potentially hazardous materials with natural, safe, and sustainable ingredients for the health of consumers and for the environment, as well as the progress in the materials science of academics and chemical industries, has opened new perspectives in the use of CaPs in this field. While several reviews have been focused on the applications of CaP-based materials in medicine, this is the first attempt to catalogue the properties and use of CaPs in cosmetics. In this review a brief introduction on the chemical and physical characteristics of the main CaP phases is given, followed by an up-to-date report of their use in cosmetics through a large literature survey of research papers and patents. The application of CaPs as agents in oral care, skin care, hair care, and odor control has been selected and extensively discussed, highlighting the correlation between the chemical, physical and toxicological properties of the materials with their final applications. Finally, perspectives on the main challenges that should be addressed by the scientific community and cosmetics companies to widen the application of CaPs in cosmetics are given.
