Role of NANO technology in the world of cosmetology: A review

Issue Abstract

Abstract
This review paper is based on the use of nanotechnology in the world of cosmetics and cosmeceuticals by increasing the effectiveness of the product. Nanotechnology has been considered to be a novel innovation of the period in different fields of science. The different types of nanocarriers that are used in cosmetics such as cubosomes, liposomes, hydrogels, dendrimes, nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, microemulsion, and solid lipid nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have benefits of higher stability,insolubility or bio-persistent, hyperpigmentation. This review on nanotechnology used in cosmetics draws special attention todifferent types of nanoparticles used in cosmetics and their characterization techniques.
Keywords Nanotechnology; Cubosomes; Dendrimes;Nanocrystal; Cosmetics.
