    TLDR Nanoparticles can make cosmetics more effective but have challenges like cost and safety.
    The document reviewed the use of nanotechnology in cosmeceuticals, focusing on nanoparticles (NPs) as delivery systems for active ingredients in cosmetic products. It highlighted the advantages of NPs, such as improved stability, controlled delivery, and enhanced effectiveness of cosmeceuticals. Various types of NPs, including organic and inorganic particles like liposomes, micelles, and metal-based NPs, were analyzed for their roles in improving skin penetration and reducing toxicity. The review also addressed challenges such as production costs, potential toxicity, and regulatory issues. Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of NPs in enhancing the efficacy of cosmetic products were emphasized, indicating a promising area for future research.
