Abstract

Today, nanotechnology is widely utilized across various industries, ranging from molecular biology to electronics, textiles to food, and beyond. Within the cosmetics sector, this emerging trend has been extensively adopted by manufacturers to enhance their existing products and develop new ones. Nanomaterials are employed to offer improved UV protection, deeper skin penetration, longer-lasting effects, enhanced color and finish quality, and more. Inorganic nanoparticles like TiO2 and ZnO are commonly utilized as UV filters in sunscreens. Additionally, cosmetics and personal care products incorporate various encapsulation and delivery systems such as liposomes, niosomes, dendrimers, nanoemulsions, and solid lipid nanoparticles. This comprehensive review article presents valuable insights into the types of nanomaterials employed in cosmetic products, as well as the potential benefits and risks associated with their usage.
