Nanomaterials in the Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry
In the cosmetics and personal care industry, the use of nanomaterials (nanospheres, nanoparticles, nanocapsules, oleosomes and liposomes among others) in formulations containing active ingredients such as vitamins or anti-oxidants has become increasingly common and has lead to an improvement in the efficacy of sunscreen, anti-aging products and fragrances.
Nanomaterials enhance the formulation properties and acceptability of skin and hair care, and allow for a variety of innovative functions and effects, improving UV-resistance, offering unique colour effects and strengthening mechanical and chemical bonding.
Products on the market incorporating nanomaterials include moisturizing and anti-aging formulations, toothpaste, shampoo, hair conditioner, lipstick, eye shadow, after shave, moisturizer and UV-filters in sunscreens with improved transparency. In sunscreens, nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are efficient UV-filters as they transmit, reflect and scatter the visible part of the solar radiation while they strongly absorb in the UV region. These mineral UV- filters consist of micron-sized aggregates, which are composed of nanosized primary particles.
