ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Nanotechnology is widely used in various cosmetic and dermatological products like lipstick, soap, anti-wrinkle cream, perfumes, toothpaste etc. In this century, Nanotechnology is one of the most capable techniques which are safe and effective for targeted drug delivery system. The present review focus on the recent applications of nanoparticles in cosmetics and dermal product. Nanoparticulate delivery systems have been developed for good therapeutic effect with low toxicity. As compared to conventional drug delivery system Nanoparticulate delivery system is more prominent and exhaustive. Nanotechnology has completely novel characteristic and application over others. It also summarizes methods of preparation of nanoparticles, characterization of nanoparticles and application of nanoparticles in current drug delivery. The review according to industrial point of view shows that nanoparticles have wide application as alternative carrier for cosmetic and dermal products.
