Role of Nanotechnology for Design and Development of Cosmeceutical: Application in Makeup and Skin Care

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an innovative area of science that includes the design, characterization, production, and application of materials, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nanometer scale (1–100 nm). Nanotechnology incorporation in cosmetic formulation is considered as the hottest and emerging technology available. Cosmetic manufacturers use nanoscale size ingredients to provide better UV protection, deeper skin penetration, long-lasting effects, increased color, finish quality, and many more. Micellar nanoparticles is one of the latest field applied in cosmetic products that becoming trending and widely commercialized in local and international markets. The ability of nanoemulsion system to form small micellar nanoparticles size with high surface area allowing to effectiveness of bioactive component transport onto the skin. Oil in water nanoemulsion is playing a major role as effective formulation in cosmetics such as make-up remover, facial cleanser, anti-aging lotion, sun-screens, and other water-based cosmetic formulations. The objective of this review is to critically discuss the properties, advantageous, and mechanism of micellar nanoparticles formation in nanoemulsion system. Therefore, present article introduce and discuss the specific benefits of nanoemulsion system in forming micellar nanoparticles for cosmetic formulation which become major factors for further development of micellar-based cosmetic segments.

Nanoemulsions for health, food, and cosmetics: a review

“…Nanotechnology is a global concept that entails the manipulation of particles within the range of 10-1000 nm using scientific, innovative and well-characterized techniques, for improved productivity and applications in agriculture, healthcare, cosmetics, defense, energy and food sectors (Kaul et al 2018;Feng et al 2018;Aziz et al 2019). The world's nanotechnology industry could worth 80 billion US dollars and could be reaching 17% growth rate by 2024.…”

“…This paper will thus help in future studies to further improve the MICP processes. Conducting an MICP process requires knowledge from different fields including biotechnology, geotechniques, civil engineering, material engineering, and nanotechnology [11]. Current trends of technology integration encouraged researchers to investigate applications of MICP for various purposes.…”

Gold, Silver, and Palladium Nanoparticles: A Chemical Tool for Biomedical Applications

“…Therefore, AgNP-based chemicals are utilized for the elimination of wound infection before antibiotics. Nowadays, Ag-based cream named Ag-sulfadiazine is commonly used for antibacterial treatment to cure serious wounds (Aziz et al, 2019). However, insufficient local retention and cytotoxic influence limited the experimental utilization of Ag material.…”
