What Types of Nanomaterials are Used in Smart Cosmetics?
Several types of nanomaterials are commonly used in smart cosmetics, including:
Liposomes: Spherical vesicles that can encapsulate active ingredients, enhancing their delivery and stability. Nanoemulsions: Fine oil-in-water or water-in-oil dispersions that improve the texture and absorption of cosmetic formulations. Fullerenes: Carbon-based nanomaterials with antioxidant properties that protect the skin from damage. Gold nanoparticles: Known for their anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, they enhance the efficacy of skincare products. Silica nanoparticles: Used to improve the texture and mattifying properties of cosmetics.
