Abstract: The lipids mainly oils, fats, waxes and phospholipids are of substantial importance in the development and functioning of cosmetic products. The lipid nanoparticles-based cosmetic product is highly capable of protecting the skin against harmful radiations and is utilized for anti-aging therapy. Naturally derived antioxidants such as carotenoids, retinoids and tocopherols could be employed for their antioxidant properties as therapeutics and skincare active moieties in cosmetic products. Such a lipid nanoparticles-based cosmetic formulation consisting of antioxidants are very effective against irritated and inflamed skin and very promising for treating skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Therefore, the present...

The present review aims to study a promising area of Nanoparticles used in various cosmetic products like Deodorant, Soap, Toothpaste, Shampoo, Hair conditioner, Anti-wrinkle cream, Moisturizer, Foundation, Face powder, Lipstick, Blush, Eye shadow, Nail polish, Perfume and After-shave lotion etc. In particular, NLCs have been identified as a potential next generation cosmetic delivery agent that can provide enhanced skin hydration, bioavailability, stability of the agent and controlled occlusion. Nanoparticles are synthesized by various techniques are Sol–gel Method, Vacuum Deposition Method, Ball Milling Method, Pyrolysis etc. Characterization of Nanoparticles is must necessary in order formulate Nanocosmeticeuticals. Many methods are used for...
