“…The main ingredient used is the rational combination of cinnamates (derived from carnauba wax) and titanium dioxide nanosuspensions which provide sun-protective effects in cosmetics products [ 125 ]. Similarly, nanoparticle suspensions are being applied in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for dermal and pharmaceutical applications [ 126 ]. They exhibit the properties of controlled drug-carrying and realizing properties, along with direct drug targeting, occlusion, and increased penetration and absorption to the skin surface.…”

Nanotechnology, contrary to its name, has massively revolutionized industries around the world. This paper predominantly deals with data regarding the applications of nanotechnology in the modernization of several industries. A comprehensive research strategy is adopted to incorporate the latest data driven from major science platforms. Resultantly, a broad-spectrum overview is presented which comprises the diverse applications of nanotechnology in modern industries. This study reveals that nanotechnology is not limited to research labs or small-scale manufacturing units of nanomedicine, but instead has taken a major share in different industries. Companies around the world are now trying to make their innovations more efficient in terms of structuring, working, and designing outlook and productivity by taking advantage of nanotechnology. From small-scale manufacturing and processing units such as those in agriculture, food, and medicine industries to larger-scale production units such as those operating in industries of automobiles, civil engineering, and environmental management, nanotechnology has manifested the modernization of almost every industrial domain on a global scale. With pronounced cooperation among researchers, industrialists, scientists, technologists, environmentalists, and educationists, the more sustainable development of nano-based industries can be predicted in the future.

“…The nanoencapsulation also resulted in a more controlled release through the lipid-core nanocapsules [ 45 ]. The use of nanotechnology is crucial for the size reduction in the formulation ingredients, improving deep skin penetration, sustained skin absorption, ultraviolet (UV) protection, higher stability, and the final quality of the product [ 46 ]. In fact, nanotechnology-based formulations have been frequently used, not only in different beauty products and skincare products, but also in sunscreens, hair care products, deodorants, perfumes, and dental products, since they enhance the performance of the active ingredients.…”

“Flawless skin is the most universally desired human feature” is an iconic statement by Desmond Morris. Skin indicates one´s health and is so important that it affects a person’s emotional and psychological behavior, these facts having propelled the development of the cosmetics industry. It is estimated that in 2023, this industry will achieve more than 800 billion dollars. This boost is due to the development of new cosmetic formulations based on nanotechnology. Nanocarriers have been able to solve problems related to active ingredients regarding their solubility, poor stability, and release. Even though nanocarriers have evident benefits, they also present some problems related to the high cost, low shelf life, and toxicity. Regulation and legislation are two controversial topics regarding the use of nanotechnology in the field of cosmetics. In this area, the U.S. FDA has taken the lead and recommended several biosafety studies and post-market safety evaluations. The lack of a global definition that identifies nanomaterials as a cosmetic ingredient is a hindrance to the development of global legislation. In the EU, the legislation regarding the biosafety of nanomaterials in cosmetics is stricter. “The cost is not the only important issue, safety and the application of alternative testing methods for toxicity are of crucial importance as well”.

“…In the year 1984, Dr. Albert Kligman further used the term by referring to it as a material having both cosmetic and therapeutic advantages [ 7 ]. Generally, cosmetic refers to any item that enhances the skin's appearance, boosts the cleansing, and stimulates the skin allure [ 8 ]. Noteworthily, the cosmetic industry is among the first to capitalize on nanotechnology-based materials by introducing liposome moisturizing cream in the early 1960s.…”

“…Noteworthily, the cosmetic industry is among the first to capitalize on nanotechnology-based materials by introducing liposome moisturizing cream in the early 1960s. Since then, nanotechnology in the cosmeceutical industry has grown remarkably and can be considered one of the most competitive technologies of the 21st century [ 8 ]. Among the diverse nanoemulsion systems in nanotechnology, such as oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) dispersions, both are extensively used in the cosmeceutical industry as carriers for controlled delivery [ 9 ].…”

Ananas comosus peels (AcP) are among the agro-industrial biomasses contributing to a significant volume of waste in Malaysia. Thus, the AcP extract (AcPE) may prove useful for other applications, such as an ingredient in a nanocream for controlled delivery for dermal application. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an oil-in-water (O/W) nanocream using ingredients derived from the AcPE and test its stability alongside safety evaluation. The extract is a rich source of polyphenolic compounds viz., catechin, quercetin, and gallic acid. The study discovered that the optimized AcPE nano cream was stable against coalescence during the accelerated test but was influenced by Ostwald ripening over 6 weeks of storage at 4°C. Safety assessments affirmed the AcPE nano cream to be free of microbial contamination and heavy metals. The findings conveyed that the A. comosus nano cream is a good cosmetic ingredient and may contribute to the cosmeceutical industry’s new and safe topical products.
