“…Nano-emulsions, closely related to micro-emulsions, are liquid droplets that are spread in another liquid on the nanoscale. These are flexible, and their morphologies may be altered by manipulating the parameters during the production process [90]. Nano-emulsions can be made from a variety of components that are typically harmless.…”

Cosmetics have always been in demand across the globe among people of all age groups. In the modern cosmetic world, nanostructured materials have proven hugely advantageous in producing cosmeceuticals or ‘nano-cosmeceuticals’ and various beauty products. The application of nanostructured materials in cosmetic products possesses some challenges in terms of short- and long-term safety and environmental issues, despite their growing popularity. The nanostructured particles in cosmeceuticals provide a targeted route of administration due to their high penetrability, site selectivity, high effectiveness, prolonged activity, and drug encapsulation potential. However, standard methods for toxicity evaluation may not be relevant for cosmeceuticals, leading to the need for an alternative methodology. This review article compiles detailed descriptions of all significant aspects of nanostructured materials in the cosmetics industry, which include the synthesis and characterization of relevant nanostructured materials for cosmeceuticals, state-of-the-art practices, mechanisms for the synthesis of advanced materials, toxicological concerns in terms of health risks in humans, and environmental concerns. Also, a proposal for new approaches in terms of regulatory measures to mitigate these problems has been suggested. The primary focus of this article is to provide a comprehensive outlook on this subject area and contribute to the exploration of new prospects and emerging roles of nanostructured materials in the cosmetics industry.

“…Nanoemulsions can be excellent carriers for the primary or cosmetic active ingredient (cosmeceutical). Ingredients used in nanoemulsions are generally safe and cannot penetrate the skin as fundamental particles or reach deep penetration of the skin, thereby requiring further attention on their chemical composition, regardless of the size (Silva et al, 2020). Nanoemulsions are a colloidal dispersion system consisting of two immiscible liquids combined with the help of emulsifiers (surfactant and co-surfactant).…”

“…The choices of the oil, or the surfactant-to-oil ratio, among others, are critical parameters in nanoformulation production. The most appropriate method depends mostly on system composition or scale-up requirements (Silva et al, 2020). Nanoemulsions consist of oils, surfactants, cosurfactants, antioxidants, pHregulating agents, preservatives, and water (Table II).…”

Nano-perfume is an alcohol-free perfume in the form of oil-in-water nanoemulsions containing fragrance. Due to its favorable properties, nano-perfume may appeal to a broader client base, including children and individuals with sensitive skin. This technology can provide an alternative solution to the low permanence of fragrances by eliminating ethanol and decreasing the amount of surfactant, co-surfactant, and solvents used in the formulation. However, relatively few researchers have studied and developed this technology to date. In this review, we examine several essential elements of nano-perfume, therefore it is hoped that relevant questions will be raised regarding the future of this technology. The discussion is focused on the definition and composition of perfume, the notion of "notes" in fragrances products, nanotechnology in the cosmetics industry, significant characteristics of nano-perfume, as well as problems and prospects.

“…The formulation was anticipated to spread better over the skin without producing a cream-like coating. That said, this formulation type could aid in hydrating the skin's stratum corneum [ 16 , 17 ]. To the best of our knowledge, the work proposed in this study is the first-ever attempt to utilize the optimized Ac PE nano cream as the bioactive ingredient for topical cosmetic application.…”

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.
