Abstract
The use of nanoparticles in cosmeceuticals has emerged as a transformative approach to enhance the efficacy and bioavailability of active ingredients in skin care formulations. This review paper synthesizes recent advances in nanotechnology applied to the cosmetic industry, highlighting various types of nanoparticles, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and dendrimers. We discuss their roles in improving penetration, stability, and controlled release of active compounds, alongside the potential for targeted delivery and reduced side effects. Furthermore, the safety, regulatory concerns, and consumer perceptions surrounding nanoparticle use are examined. Key studies and findings are drawn from a range of sources, including peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology , International Journal of Cosmetic Science , and Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine . The paper concludes with a discussion on future trends and challenges in the integration of nanotechnology into cosmeceutical products, advocating for ongoing research to fully harness its potential while ensuring safety and efficacy.
