“…It can be noted that cosmetics face regulations and moderations from USFDA’s Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Personal Care Products Council (PCPC), Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Progam (VCRP), EU cosmetics product notification portal (CPNP), REACH, Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) and International Cooperation on Cosmetic Regulation (ICCR). These regulations from the US and EU, as well as other countries such as Japan and Canada, reveal that nanotoxicity via cosmetics are of major concern for both scientific policymakers and industries producing consumer products [ 299 – 300 ].…”

Nanomaterials (NMs) have gained prominence in technological advancements due to their tunable physical, chemical and biological properties with enhanced performance over their bulk counterparts. NMs are categorized depending on their size, composition, shape, and origin. The ability to predict the unique properties of NMs increases the value of each classification. Due to increased growth of production of NMs and their industrial applications, issues relating to toxicity are inevitable. The aim of this review is to compare synthetic (engineered) and naturally occurring nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructured materials (NSMs) to identify their nanoscale properties and to define the specific knowledge gaps related to the risk assessment of NPs and NSMs in the environment. The review presents an overview of the history and classifications of NMs and gives an overview of the various sources of NPs and NSMs, from natural to synthetic, and their toxic effects towards mammalian cells and tissue. Additionally, the types of toxic reactions associated with NPs and NSMs and the regulations implemented by different countries to reduce the associated risks are also discussed.

“…The most desirable size range is 0.1 to 1 μm because of the optical, rheological, and coating characteristics imparted at this size. 101 In mixing the pigment with binder, pigment volume concentration, which gives us an idea of the amount of pigment in a paint compared to the amount of binder, is essential. Conventionally, after the addition of the pigment in paint formulation, there needs to be enough binder left to enable the paint to stick properly to the surface it has been applied.…”

Novel treatments of pigments with inorganic materials have tremendous industrial and commercial prospects. Specific treatment of pigment has a marked effect on its behavior during application. The treatment allows a broad modification of the surface characteristics of pigment particles which leads to improved functionalities. Surface modification of pigments is achieved via coating, polymerization with modifying reagent, treatment with derivatives or polymers, which alter either the optical, conductivity or dispersibility during processing and application. These and many other distinguishing factors that affect the characteristics of pigments such as the class, crystal structure, particle morphology, particle size, hiding power, pigment volume concentration, surface character, and surface treatment have been reviewed. Various organic pigments such as those from fungus and bacteria, and the various families of pigment types such as metallic pigment, light interference, and diffractive pigments which presents decorative quality such as leafing, nonleafing, pearlscent, and Fabry‐Perot effects on substrates have also been reviewed in addition to those from inorganic sources with emphasis on the structure and physiochemical modifications using metal and nonmetal Ions.

“…The quality and safety of nano-cosmeceuticals are regulated by Food and Drug Administration in the United States [87][88][89][90]; European Union in European Countries [91][92][93][94]; National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme in Australia [95]; Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in Japan [96,97]; Health Canada and Environment Canada in Canada [98]; National Steering Committee for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in China [99]; and Committee of Nanotechnology in Brazil Globally, EU, United States, Japan and Canada are actively involved in the International Cooperation on Cosmetic Regulation (ICCR) for the prevention of regulatory issues on the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics. ICCR issued a report on "Criteria and Methods of Detection" for nanomaterials in cosmetics in 2010 [7].…”

Background: Nanoscience is the section of science related to the study of minute particles on an atomic or molecular scale, whose size is measured in nanometres. Nanotechnology serves as one of the most capable technologies and accomplished approaches of the 21 st century which is safe and efficacious for novel drug delivery systems. Now, nanotechnology is used widely in the field of cosmetics and dermatology due to the improved properties of the atoms at the nano level. Objectives: This mini-review article has been planned to discuss basic facts regarding nanotechnology as well as various nanotechnology drug delivery systems used in cosmetics and dermatology, applications of nanotechnology and overview of patents published recently in the field of nanocosmetics. The current status of regulatory as well as safety and quality aspects for the use of nanotechnology in cosmetics and dermatology will also be discussed. Discussion: Cosmetics industry is the sixth largest industry among United States patent holders in nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has transfigured the treatment of several skin diseases. Possible applications of nanotechnology in dermatology and cosmetology include sunscreens, moisturizers, anti-aging formulations, anti-sepsis, nails and hair care. The recent studies to date suggest that the nano-cosmeceuticals have no safety issues with skin as well as human health, although the nano-cosmeceuticals are beneficial for human health in a number of ways such as guarding against UV rays which may cause skin cancer. The regulatory bodies had performed an active debate on the potential risk of nano-cosmeceuticals on human health and steps have been taken for thecoordination of regulatory rules.
