Current Advances of Nanocarrier Technology-Based Active Cosmetic Ingredients for Beauty Applications

The document "Current Advances of Nanocarrier Technology-Based Active Cosmetic Ingredients for Beauty Applications" discusses the use of nanocarrier technology in cosmetics. Nanocarriers, due to their small size and high surface area, can enhance the delivery of active ingredients in cosmetics, improving their effectiveness and stability, and controlling their release. They can also reduce side effects by targeting specific skin layers. The technology has been used in various cosmetic products, including anti-alopecia treatments. The types of nanocarriers used include microemulsions/nanoemulsions, liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, and more. The document also discusses the use of nanocarrier technology in skin and hair care, enhancing the penetration and effectiveness of active ingredients. In terms of hair loss, nanocarrier technology has been used to alleviate the side effects of anti-alopecia agents like minoxidil. However, the document emphasizes the need for further research to ensure the safety and efficacy of nanocarrier-based cosmetics.
