Skin Care Nanocosmetics

Abstract

The improvement of stability, solubility, spreadability and skin penetration of cosmetics as well as the reduction of oxidation may be achieved by nanocarriers. In that regard, many cosmetic industries have launched nanocosmetics due to their performance improvement. Sunscreens, moisturizers and anti-aging products based on nanotechnology are available worldwide. In addition, vegetable extracts loaded into nanocarriers have also been employed as a strategy to increase their skin penetration. In this chapter, the main contributions of polymeric nanocarriers, lipid nanocarriers and vesicular nanocarriers to skin care cosmetics were approached.
