Nanocosmetics, which utilize nanotechnology, have transformed the skincare industry by enhancing the effectiveness and delivery of active ingredients. This review explores the role of nanomaterials in cosmetic formulations, focusing on their benefits for skin health. Nanocosmetics employ nanoscale materials (1-100 nm) to improve penetration, stability, and targeted distribution of active compounds. Technologies such as nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, and liposomes enable better absorption and efficacy of skincare ingredients. These advancements allow for more effective treatment of skin issues like aging, pigmentation, and dehydration. However, concerns about the safety of nanoparticles, including potential systemic absorption and toxicity, remain. Regulatory bodies are developing guidelines to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials in cosmetics. The review also highlights the use of nanotechnology in sunscreens, where nanoparticles like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide UV protection without a white cast. Additionally, nanocosmetics offer multifunctional skincare solutions that combine anti-aging, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties. Nutricosmetics, which involve oral supplements, also play a role in skin health by providing essential nutrients. Fullerenes and nanodiamonds are being studied for their potential in reducing oxidative stress and promoting skin regeneration. Nanopeptides, which are smaller versions of traditional peptides, enhance collagen production and skin hydration. Overall, nanocosmetics offer a more efficient and targeted approach to skincare, but further research is needed to address safety and regulatory challenges.Nanocosmetics, which utilize nanotechnology, have transformed the skincare industry by enhancing the effectiveness and delivery of active ingredients.
