Pioneering Applications of Nano Materials in Cosmetic Products
Author : Sunil M Chore
Abstract :
Nanotechnology has the potential to create advanced material and formulations. Nanotechnology includes synthesis, characterization and applications of nanoscale material. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the nanoscale with one or more external dimensions of less than 100 nm. Nanotechnology has various applications in the field of medicine, agriculture, electronics, textile, energy consumption, cosmetics, water remediation and consumer products. Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in the formation of advanced new products and reframe new materials and chemicals with improved qualities, less harmful to the environment. Nanotechnology is appealing area for scientists and researcher working in the fields of nanocomposites, biocomposites, optical, biomedical, and electronic manufacturing.
The objective of review paper is to discuss the role nanomaterials in cosmetic products. Nanotechnology renders extraordinary properties in the cosmetic products. Nano based cosmetic products exhibits high performance, retention, appearance, and nontoxicity. Nanoparticles increase the efficiency of active ingredients, alter the appearance and feel of products. Nanomaterials used in cosmetics are nanoemulsions, nanosomes, nanopigments, nanocapsules, nanocrystals, dendrimers, hydrogels, fullerens etc.
