Nanocosmetics

Nanocosmetics refer to cosmetic products that contain nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are extremely small, usually ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size. They are used in cosmetics for various purposes, such as enhancing product efficacy, improving texture, and increasing stability. The use of nanotechnology in cosmetics has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential benefits. Nanoparticles can penetrate the skin more effectively than larger particles, allowing for better absorption of active ingredients. This can lead to improved product performance and targeted delivery of specific benefits.
