INTRODUCTION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN COSMETICS

This review has overviewed the nanoparticles and its uses in cosmetic formulation, their challenges, opportunity and application. Nanoparticle based cosmetic have been used widely from recent few years in products like sunscreen, moisturizer, antiaging products, skin cleanser, shampoo, hair oil, hair gel, nail care, oral care etc. However there is major problems in nanoparticles containing products like toxicity and environment risk. Nano cosmeceuticals also doesn’t have regulation in it. Nanoparticles provide a high entrapment power for active ingredients and show high efficacy. Mainly nanoparticles are provide better performance in cosmeceutical field. Every year new research has been done in this area like to treat skin diseases with nanoparticles. And there future aspects of creating or formulating cosmetics with recycling natural by products and re-inventing traditional ingredients. In this article we are going to focus on the different aspect nanoparticles in area of cosmetic preparation. We conclude from this study that in future cosmetic industry have to draw some attention toward sustainability in cosmetics industry.
