Abstract
Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the “appearance” of the human body. Globally millions of consumers use cosmetic products on daily basis. Cosmetic products can be used to treat conditions such as photoaging, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and hair damage. Due to the daily application of cosmetic products, they are required to ensure quality, safety, and performance at high level. Recently, nanotechnology has been employed in the field of cosmetics. Nanotechnology-based cosmetic products offer several advantages such as enhanced color, transparency, solubility, etc. Various types of nanomaterials employed in cosmetics include niosomes, liposomes, fullerenes, solid lipid nanoparticles, etc. However increased use of nanotechnology in cosmetic products has raised concern about the possible penetration of nanoparticles through the skin and potential hazards to the human health. This chapter aims to discuss different nanoparticles used in various classes of cosmetic products and their associated risks caused by nanoparticles on exposure.
