“…realistic exposure conditions in order to promote and expand the use of nanotechnology for commercial purposes. 53 The main focus of these programs is to develop reliable and adequate safety risk assessments for nanocomponents to ensure their safety for human health and the environment. The environmental impact of the development and manufacturing of cosmetics is also a growing concern for consumers.…”

According to Regulation 1223/2009 on cosmetic products in EU, the term cosmetic refers to any substance or mixture intended to be placed in contact with the external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair system, nails, lips, and external genital organs) or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance, protecting them, keeping them in good condition or correcting body odors. The skin delivery system is used to carry active ingredients and promote the controlled and targeted delivery of active ingredients. The active components are effectively fed into the active site by the percutaneous permeation system to enhance the efficacy of the active components, for example, vitamin A alcohol, vitamin C, niacinamide, salicylic acid, thereby achieving the effects of whitening, antioxidation, and so on. For the purpose of cosmetology, the main problem of absorption of cosmetics is to allow the active ingredients to act on the surface of the skin and to avoid absorption into the bloodstream and the whole body.Only with a thorough understanding of the skin can we develop safer, more stable techniques to promote penetration. The legal and regulatory issues that come along with the rise of various penetration promotion technologies also require the efforts

Antimicrobial resistance is the leading cause of burden on healthcare sector. There is scientific challenge of developing new functional material as a platform to prevent and treat viral and microbial infection and cosmetic utility. In material chemistry, there is progress in the development of functional material with advent of nanotechnology with aid of synthetic organic chemistry. The properties and application of material can be changed significantly by modification of the surface functional groups (namely, COOH, HO, NH2OH, SO4,), formation of composite with inorganic material and incorporation of active pharmaceutical agents. In antibacterial application functional material of copper, silver, gold, platinum, tin, iron, cobalt, ruthenium, zinc and pharmaceutical antimicrobial agents found utility in the treatment of bacterial and hospital acquired infection with different resistant strains of microorganisms. In antiviral application many functional materials have been shown to possess remarkable antiviral ability like quantum dots, gold and silver nanoparticles, nanoclusters, carbon dots, graphene oxide and silicon materials. The polymers and dendrimers functionalized with USFDA approved antiviral agent also has potential therapeutic outcomes. Despite their difference in antiviral mechanism and inhibition efficacy, these functional material structures have unique features as potential antiviral candidates. In cosmetic applications functional material based on mica, sericite, fullerene, charcoal, peptides, mineral, lipids, glucocorticoid, nanocellulose hybrid material are extensively used. In this review, we have highlighted early promise and prospects of functional material for cosmetics, antibacterial and antiviral applications, advantages and disadvantages, Patent scenario, current challenges for translation into commercial products.

“…These can be transfersomes of 200-300 nm diameter, extremely robust, having sound efficacy, readily penetrate the skin surface, and cross the skin's corneal layer, intracellular and transcellular passages. These are generally formulated with phospholipids and cholesterol along with surfactants (Sharma et al 2018). The other category is of niosomes which are vesicles of 100-1000 nm, made up of polyglycerols, and are very effective in improving the performance of cosmeceutical agents and skin care products by improving the skin penetration.…”

The fatty acids containing plant oils have been used as components of cosmetic formulations, and the best cosmetic function has been established for unsaturated fatty acids present in triglycerides. Many oils, fats, waxes, and phospholipids are employed as excipients in cosmetics and personal care products. Antioxidants such as carotenoids, retinoids, and tocopherols are used for their antioxidant properties because of their importance in therapeutic care. For skin care, the most important are oils with high contents of linoleic and α-linolenic acid which reduce the formation of eczemas or atopic dermatitis. These essential fatty acids incorporate into the cell membranes and regenerate the damaged lipid barrier of epidermis and restrict water loss. The unsaturated fatty acids show prominent healing effects on skin inflammation and are used in various cosmetic products. Mineral oils and waxes are also used in several products due to their property of skin tolerance, protection, cleansing, and viscosity. As cosmeceutical formulation, the nanoformulations are effective against irritated and inflamed skin and effective for therapy of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The lipid nanoparticles offer advantages of chemical stability and good skin compatibility that can be used for protection against radiation and aging.
