What Types of Nanoparticles are Used in Moisturizers?
Various types of nanoparticles are employed in moisturizers, each offering unique benefits:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances, improving the delivery of active ingredients. Nanoemulsions: These are fine oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions that enhance the penetration and absorption of active ingredients. Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs): These provide a controlled release of active ingredients and improve the stability of the formulation. Dendrimers: These are highly branched, star-shaped macromolecules that can carry multiple active agents, enhancing the moisturizer's multifunctionality.
