Several nanomaterials are commonly utilized in cosmetics, including:
1. Liposomes: Spherical vesicles that can encapsulate active ingredients, enhancing their stability and efficacy. 2. Nanoemulsions: Fine oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions that improve the texture and absorption of products. 3. Nanosilver: Used for its antimicrobial properties in products such as deodorants and acne treatments. 4. Fullerenes: Carbon-based molecules that offer antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from environmental stressors. 5. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide: Both are used in sunscreens for their ability to block UV radiation without leaving a white residue.
