nanomaterials, cosmetics, quality, liposomesAbstract
The beginnings of nanotechnology date back to 1959, when Richard Feynman gave his famous lecture that has inspired many scientists. The development of methods of obtaining results (top-down and bottom-up) over the following years has meant that a multitude of nanometric structures are now known, and knowledge about their properties and application possibilities is also broader.
Today, cosmetics manufacturers choose nanostructures for several reasons, namely: penetration through the skin, targeted delivery of active ingredients, achieving stability, and obtaining new color elements.
This article is a review of the latest knowledge about the properties of nanostructures and their application potential for cosmetic formulations.
