“…The booming global nanotechnology market is projected to exceed US$ 125 billion by 2024 [ 8 ]. The commercialization of research outcomes resulting from the synthesis and application of nanotechnology therefore not only bears significant potential for benefit to society through their various applications but is profitable.…”

“…Controlling their size and surface area allows them to adjust their distinctive qualities, such as bond gap, charge conductivity, crystalline structure, and melting temperature. After dispersion these nanocrystals in water, they can readily be transformed into topical formulation i.e., nanosuspensions [2]. The first nanocrystal-based skin renewal marketed product Juvedical with rutin (flavonoid) as the active component was launched by Juvena [3].…”

The American physicist Richard Phillips Fenyman, first proposed the concept of nanotechnology in the year 1959. However, the researcher and professor (Tokyo University of Sciences) who actually coined the term ‘nanotechnology’ was Norio Taniguchi, in 1974. Now, to improve the efficacy of cosmetic and therapeutic applications in this field, the cosmetic industry is significantly embracing nanotechnology. The application of nanotechnology in the field of cosmeceuticals makes cosmetics very effective, providing better protection against UV rays, deeper penetration into the skin, long-lasting effects, higher colour, quality of finish and more. This review critically collects the latest updates regarding the use of nanomaterials for the preparation of cosmetics for pharmaceutical applications. In addition, this review provides a brief overview of almost all nano forms as cosmetic formulations different types, of cosmetics based on nanotechnology and patents.

“…For e.g. nanoemulsions are transparent and have cosmetically acceptable/ desirable rheological properties that facilitate inclusion of higher oily content while preserving the optical transparency and the lightness of formulas [23]. Certain mineral nanoparticles ( 20 nm) are highly efficient UV filters, which reflect and scatter the visible part of solar radiation and absorb the detrimental ultraviolet light.…”

Background: There has been a phenomenal rise in the nanomaterial-based cosmetic formulations in the market, raising serious concerns over the possible biological impact on humans, animals and the environment as a whole. However, scarce reports can be found on the safety assessment of nanomaterials incorporated in cosmetic formulations including sunscreens. Hence, uncertainties loom for their safe use in cosmetics including those applied dermatologically. Unfortunately, not much research has been devoted to assess the safety profile of nanomaterials in cosmetics and the possible health hazards. As a large number of nanotechnological sunscreen products containing diverse sun filters against UV exposure are penetrating the market, the importance of adequate assessment of nanomaterial exposure, its toxicokinetics including biodistribution, and other health risks is now widely recognized. Objective: The write up presents an overview of the nanomaterials used in sunscreen products and discusses the various laws and regulations in force in various countries. The review focuses on the current safety and regulation of nanomaterials in sunscreens. Conclusion: While many countries have their own set of regulatory guidelines, it is high time to have a globally acceptable guideline framework to protect both the consumers and manufacturers for safe use, manufacture and sale of nanotechnology-based cosmetics. Harmonization across the globe is desirable.
