Abstract
Now-a-days, everyone is concerned with one’s looks and beauty. Nanotechnology is one of the latest methodology used in cosmetics for various therapies like efficient sun protection, anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle effect etc. Nanotechnology has been used since decades but its full potential is being realised during recent times. The nanoscale particles help to increase surface area of atoms leading to change in their intrinsic properties such as solubility, penetrability, absorption and utility. Therefore, nanocosmetics have been developed and marketed worldwide by various cosmetic companies. Nanocosmetics have a number of safety issues concerning their tests, regulatory lacunas and consumer awareness. Yet, the advent of nanotechnology manifestated in terms of cosmetics has paved the way for a beautiful tomorrow in respect to a youthful and stunning personality of an individual.
