ABSTRACT:
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing cosmeceuticals by enhancing targeted skin care through advanced formulations. By manipulating materials at the nanoscale, researchers improve the delivery and efficacy of active ingredients, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin for greater effectiveness. Nanocarriers, such as liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles, increase the stability and bioavailability of vital compounds like antioxidants and peptides. These carriers protect sensitive ingredients from degradation, ensuring they remain potent until they reach their target. Additionally, nanotechnology enables the customization of products to address specific skin concerns, such as aging and hyperpigmentation, while mimicking natural skin functions to enhance compatibility and reduce irritation. As the demand for safer, more effective skin care products rises, nanotechnology plays a crucial role in cosmeceutical innovation. Nonetheless, challenges regarding regulatory standards, safety assessments, and consumer acceptance persist. Continued research is essential to understand the long-term effects of nanoparticles on health and the environment. This article examines the advancements and future potential of nanotechnology in achieving optimal skin health.
