Nanotechnology has the potential to generate advancements and innovations in formulations and delivery systems. This fast-developing technology has been widely exploited for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
FREMONT, CA:The design, characterisation, production, and use of materials, devices and systems at the nanoscale level are the core competencies of the cutting-edge scientific fields of nanotechnology and nano-delivery systems (1–100 nm). The field of cosmetics and cosmeceuticals has conducted substantial research on nanotechnology, which is acknowledged as one of the changing technologies.
Nanotechnology has been incorporated, which has improved cosmetic science and raised customer demand globally. Nanomaterials are currently gaining interest in this field since they provide superior benefits to commonly used cosmetic products. Additionally, the combination of nanomaterials has significantly boosted the market share of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics globally. Although the idea of nanomaterials (gold and silver nanoparticles) has been employed in cosmetics for a while, the breadth of applications has increased recently.
Humans have used cosmetics for a very long time which are mainly used to regenerate their skin. They can be categorised as preparations that are usually applied externally and can be made from a single substance or a combination of substances that come from both natural and artificial sources. Cosmetics are substances that are designed to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, encouraging beauty, or altering the look without damaging the body's structure or functions. This broad definition includes any substance that is intended to be a part of a cosmetic product.
In the field of cosmeceuticals, nanotechnology holds enormous promise for the manipulation of materials at the atomic level, providing new opportunities for the cosmetics sector. Nanocosmetics and nano cosmeceuticals, respectively, are products created by using various nanomaterials in the production of cosmetic and cosmeceutical goods. Among the benefits of cosmeceuticals based on nanotechnology are the extension of action, increased bioavailability, and enhanced aesthetic appeal of goods. These products differ from conventional cosmeceuticals in several ways, including their tiny size and high surface-to-volume ratio, which makes them useful adjuvants in cosmeceuticals. Additionally, adding nanoparticles to cosmetic formulations enhances their look, coverage, and skin adherence without altering the cosmeceuticals' inherent qualities.
