Nanocosmeceuticals- The Subsequence of Sophisticated Skincare
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This review article provides an insight into the basics of cosmeceuticals, their role in the pharmaceutical market, along with the incorporation of nanotechnology in cosmeceuticals. Cosmeceuticals are the marketed preparations which are intended to be used on skin, hair, nails and teeth for personalised use, varying according to individuals. On the other hand, nanotechnology is the science related to engineering materials at the nanoscale of 1 to 100 nanometers. The smaller size of these particles will allow for targeted delivery, assisting in the controlled release of the active ingredients. It also helps in the deeper penetration of the formulation for higher pharmacological activity. Nanocarriers like liposomes, niosomes, fullerenes, ethosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, etc. are elaborated here. This review also gives knowledge about the best suitability of a particular nanocarrier, along with the intended active skincare ingredient, along the future innovations of nanocosmeceuticals in the upcoming ages.
