INTRODUCTION
The applications of nanotechnology and nanomaterials can be found in many cosmetic products including moisturisers, hair care products, make up and sunscreen. Almost all the major cosmetic manufacturers use nanomaterials in their products. COSMONAN has a number of nanotechnologyrelated products in the market and ranks 6th in US in the number of nanotech related patents in US1. The European Commission estimated in 2006, that 5 % of cosmetic products contained nanoparticles.
The application of nanomaterials in cosmetic products has been the subject of continuous discussion in the media, scientific circles and among policy makers for the past few years. Toxicity issues have been raised due to conflicting research papers about the safety of nanomaterials and lack of agreement between researchers on whether the nanomaterials are safe for dermal use. There are a number of classes of nanoparticles used, or proposed for use, in cosmetic applications.
In cosmetics there are currently two main uses for nanotechnology. The first of these is the use of nanoparticles as UV filters. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are the main compounds used in these applications. Organic alternatives to these have also beendeveloped.
The second use is nanotechnology for delivery. Liposomes and niosomes are used in the cosmetic industry as delivery vehicles. Newer structures such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) have been found to be better performers than liposomes. In particular, NLCs have been identified as a potential next generation cosmetic delivery agent that can provide enhanced skin hydration, bioavailability, stability of the agent and controlled occlusion. Encapsulation techniques have been proposed for carrying cosmetic actives. Nanocrystals and nanoemulsions are also being investigated for cosmetic applications. Patents have been filed for the application of dendrites in the cosmetics industry. Other novel materials, such as fullerene, have also appeared in a small number of beauty products.
This report looks into some of the nanotechnologies used in the cosmetic industry and provides an overview of current activity in this area.
A cosmetic product shall mean any substance or mixture intended to be placed in contact with the various external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair system, nails, lips and external genital organs) or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance and/or correcting body odours and/ or protecting them or keeping them in good condition. Unlike medicinal products, cosmetics do not serve to cure or prevent illnesses .Nanotechnology is most often described as the manufacture and manipulation of purpose-made structures which are at least smaller than 100 nm. Natural nanostructures are a coincidental by-product of processes which have been in use in the cosmetics industry for a long time, such as emulsifying Advances in technology however have made it possible to manufacture purpose-made nanostructured materials with predetermined properties. These processes include, for example, high pressure homogenisation and grinding larger raw materials into nanoparticles using special mills.
Cosmetics are a growth market. In Austria alone cosmetic products to the value of 1.3 billion Euros were bought in 2007, 3 % more than in 2006. A products properties are an important factor in influencing the choice of purchase more important even than the price .The cosmetics industry is always looking to improve the properties of its products and hence is making more and more use of the developments in nanotechnology.
Transporting agents into the skin

With an area of around 2 m2 skin is our largest organ and it is constantly exposed to external influences. The outer layer (epidermis) acts as an essential protective barrier which at the same time performs the metabolic functions needed for vital skin. The outermost layer is composed of a protective layer of dead cells, the so-called horned layer (stratum corneum), which together with the skins fat and acid mantle prevents most foreign substances and pathogens from entering the skin. Care products which are applied on the skin hence do not penetrate or at most, only on a very small scale to the deeper skin layers where cell regeneration takes place. The cosmetics industry therefore uses nanodispersion encapsulation or carrier systems, so that agents penetrate into deeper skin layers where they activate skin metabolism with the aim of improving the skins appearance. The functions and benefits of these encapsulation and carrier systems are: the controlled release and optimisation of the availability of cosmetic agents in certain skin layers the protection of sensitive agents longer shelf life and hence greater product effectiveness a reduction in the amount of agents and additives used in products. They include liposomes, nanoemulsions, microemulsions (micelles) and lipid-nanoparticles which are soluble and biodegradable. The use of liposomes, micelles and nanoemulsions in the food industry is described in Nano Trust Dossier No. 004. The
following, therefore, is only a brief overview of these basic concepts in the context of use in cosmetics.
Nanoparticles as UV protective filters in sun screens

For many years now so-called microparticles of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have been used in cosmetic products as UV filters. The substances were originally used as traditional white pigments in the micrometer sector. The resulting products however were comparatively thick, sticky pastes which were difficult to administer and were not widely adopted by consumers as they left a whitish film on the skin. By using nanoparticle-sized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide the substances are transparent to the human eye, can be applied more easily on the skin and leave a better skin feeling. In addition, protection against UV radiation has been radically improved as a result of the smaller sized particles. The primary size of the nanoparticles used as UV filters is approximately 40 nm. According to the German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association (IKW) titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are now only to be found in nanoparticle form in sunscreens, and products carry a notice advising of the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide content .Currently only titanium oxide is listed as an authorised sunscreen filter on the EU Directive on cosmetics list of permitted UV filters.

The two main uses for nanoparticles in cosmetic products are UV filtering and delivery of active ingredients. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are both used extensively in sunscreens to prevent UV damage to the skin - the nanoformulations of these materials have been shown repeatedly to give much better performance than larger particles, reflecting visible light and absorbing UV with very high efficiency. A wide range of nanostructures have been proposed as delivery mechanisms for cosmetic ingredients in moisturisers, antiageing creams, and other skincare products - from lipid nanoparticles to dendritic or hyper branched polymers. Again, these nanostructured materials show much more efficient delivery of the active ingredient to the skin cells. Lipid nanoparticles are particularly effective, as they can merge with the lipid bilayer in cell membranes, facilitating the delivery of compounds which would otherwise not be able to enter the cell. Lipid nanostructures, and dendritic biopolymers, provide the additional benefit of being totally non-toxic and biocompatible. This is in contrast to the metal and metal oxide nanoparticles there are still doubts about their safety for dermal use.
Applications of Nanotechnology in Perfumes

Nanotechnology has entered the production and application of various personal care and cosmetics products, such as sunscreens, anti-aging creams, toothpastes, hair care and perfumes. Due to blurred definition of applied nanotechnology in terms of production procedures and ingredients, as well as due to loose regulatory and safety control systems, is the current scope and scale of nano-based personal care and cosmetics products only a wild guess. However, one such estimation shows there is currently around 1000 personal care and cosmetics products on the global market that are nano-based. While nanotechnology is widely applied and marketed in certain groups of cosmetic products such as sunscreens, antiaging skin care and hair care products, much less is known about nanotechnology in perfumes; their production and application. Currently known applications of nanotechnology in perfume production and application are predominantly based on nano-encapsulation methods (coating of nanoparticles with different substances): 1. Production of perfume (aroma) compounds. Application of nanotechnology enables reduction of costs of perfume compounds manufacture, while at the same time making it possible to produce purer and completely natural perfume compounds. This can be achieved by using nanoparticles such as goldpalladium that can replace expensive and potentially toxic reagents that promote oxidation of aromatic primary alcohols to aldehydes, which is one of the crucial processes in the perfume production. Another nano-encapsulation procedure proposes the use of nanoparticles coated in natural enzymes in the process of
manufacturing expensive perfume compounds. There are no unwanted or harmful residuals. Further, the acquired scent compounds are of higher purity and can be labeled as completely natural since they are derived from reaction catalyzed by enzymes from natural organisms. This procedure could replace expensive extraction of perfume compounds from natural materials or their expensive purely chemical synthesis. 2. Time-controlled and prolonged release of scents. Nano-encapsulation (nano-delivery systems) can also help improve the attributes and performance (durability, stability) of substances such as fragrances that can be negatively affected by changed conditions of the environment (light, air). Application of nano-encapsulation in fragrance products enables more efficient (prolonged) and timecontrolled release of the scents. This can be used in the manufacture of more durable fragrance samples used for marketing purposes, in textile and accessories fashion (e.g., embedding perfume into textiles, shoes, jewelry) and other materials (e.g., ceramics, baby dippers). Release of scents can be time-controlled by stimuli such as diffusion, pressure or temperature sensitivity. 3. Use of nano-encapsulation procedures in development of nanotechnology electronic noses (replication of human olfactory sense) promises detection and absorption of variety of odors, which could be used in detection and absorption of unwanted or hazardous odors (e.g., carbon monoxide). Further, this could facilitate electronic sampling and testing of fragrance products, thus reducing the costs of fragrance and fragrance products development, and it could even enable development of artificial noses for people who lost the sense of smell. Recently, one type of electronic appliances in this direction, has been put on market. They are designed to mix nanoparticles
with perfume and / or water particles and enable sterilization of air, absorption of unpleasant and release of pleasant odors. Considering the wide range of places where it could be used (e.g., homes, hospitals, public places) this type of nanoappliances undoubtedly has a bright commercial future.
Cosmetics
The use of nanotechnologies and small ingredient particles is changing the way beauty products feel, perform and are sold.
A slowly appearing beauty buzzword, nano is simply a prefix referring to the metric system of measurement, just like the cent in centimeter. The University of Wisconsin MadisonGuide to Size and Scale explains that a nanometer is equivalent to a billionth of a meter and that many natural things can be measured on this scale such as viruses and DNA. According to The Wellcome Trust's Big Picture, 2005, applications are so diverse, it is helpful to think of nanotechnologies in the plural. Fingers are said to grow one nanometer every second. Could this be the inspiration for a new long-wear, expanding nano nail polish?
Nanoparticles and nanotechnologies are present in nature, rather than being a human invention.
Working with Nanotechnologies is not new and neither is it actually new for the beauty industry. Many products containing nanoparticles are already well established on the market. These range from sunscreens to anti-wrinkle skincare and lipstick. Due to a lack of transparency in the use of nanotechnologies in cosmetics, it can be hard for a consumer to work out which products contain nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are used in cosmetics because they are so small that they can enhance product effectiveness by delivering active ingredients deep in to the skin. Sunscreens containing smaller particles of minerals such as Titanium Dioxide offer an SPF without the old fashioned sticky, white look of barrier creams and also minus some of the more allergenic sunscreen chemicals. Small Ingredient Particles and New Cosmetic Product Terminology Great cosmetic products contain good quality ingredients combined with effective ways to deliver those ingredients in to the skin. Delivery determines a products success at providing visible results. Traditionally, only essential oils have been considered able to absorb through the skin and penetrate as deep as the bloodstream. The use of fine ingredient particles has created the possibility of getting other active substances in to the skin in order to make products more effective. This technology has also changed the texture of products so creams now feel refined where they once may have been thick or greasy. This is especially noticeable in the light textured anti-wrinkle creams now available. Micronized particles are also widely used in beauty, one micrometer being the equivalent of 100 nanometers. These particles are fine enough to help in the quest for high performance cosmetics but not thought to be small enough to pass in to the bloodstream. They are not quite large enough to be seen by the naked eye but still represent high performance beauty products with the modern, refined feel.
Micronized powder is commonly found in mineral make-up, which looks dry but appears to melt smoothly in to the skin when applied.
Encapsulation is a process where ingredient particles are bound in nanospheres of an inert material. These can deliver substances such as vitamins, which might cause irritation if used in their raw form and left on the skins surface. Ingredient encapsulation enables skincare to be more effective but less likely to cause surface reaction. It also permits the use of substances that may not usually be applied to the skins surface and are therefore without a history of use in cosmetics. Chantecaille, a premium brand famed for soothing sensitive skin, utilizes encapsulation at different scales. They have had particular success by encapsulating eye shadow pigments so that those with sensitive skin experience fewer allergic reactions to the colors. Practical Application of Nanoparticles in Beauty Products There are two ways that nanoparticles are used in beauty. These are fixed and free particles and the implications for their respective uses are different. Fixed particles are mainly to be found in the engineering of new materials for tools such as the "Sedu Revolution 1 Iron" hair straightener, Space NK 125 ($197). In contrast, nanoparticles in creams and lotions are free moving and applied to the skin, so are able to enter the body. It is predicted that nanotechnologies will revolutionize life from providing medical breakthroughs to new fabrics. Large beauty corporations seem to be interested in buying their slice of this new scientific development as well.
WHY USE OUR PRODUCTS

We deals with the best product, not only which is cost effective but also who goes deepens into your skin and nourishes the important nutrients for the skin. If we talk about our some of the products then we sure you cant stop yourself without using it. It's long been known that titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) block the harmful effects of ultraviolet light - the stronger the sunblock the whiter the lotion, with total sunblocks becoming a thick white paste. But when you break down these substances to nano-sized particles, they become transparent. So you get the beneficial effect without the 'face pack' look. So when you see a high-factor sunscreen in a moisturiser or sun cream which is clear, not white, you know that it is nano. This use of nano-sized TiO2 and ZnO2 in sunscreens and moisturisers is one of the largest uses of nano in the cosmetics and personal care markets. Killing bacteria Silver nanoparticles and so-called colloidal silver, which contains silver nanoparticles, are used in many personal care products, because they are very effective at killing bacteria. They are mainly used to ensure cleanliness in equipment, such as make-up instruments, hair brushes, curling tongs, foils for electric razors, foot massagers, tooth brushes, bottle brushes, rubber gloves, hair dryers, hearing aids, facial ionic steamers, and even bidets, though most of these are more likely to be available in Asia. Outside the UK also, nano silver is used in soaps, toothpastes, wet wipes, deodorants, lip products, as well as face and body foams.
Smooth moves Nano is used in curling tongs for example, as it is purported to smooth the hair and reduce static through a nano ceramic and silver coating. Moisturisers and anti-ageing creams Forty years ago cosmetic companies started using nano-sized parcels of ingredients (also called liposomes or now nanosomes) to improve the solubility of ingredients and add shimmer. Essentially, liposomes are made out of the same material as a cell membrane and act as small capsules or bubbles able to hold and deliver active ingredients and cosmetic materials such as Vitamin E. In the healthcare sector, they are used to deliver therapeutic drugs or vitamins. Nano emulsions are another process in skin creams. Emulsion just means mixing two unblendable liquids (like oil and vinegar in a salad dressing) where one of the liquids is suspended in the other. With nano emulsion, as opposed just plain emulsion, one liquid disperses in nano-scale droplets throughout the other. Nano emulsions, unlike normal emulsions are so fine that they can be sprayed on. Companies that sell them claim that nano emulsions can transport beneficial compounds deep into the skin and in high concentrations. Nano gold is also being used in one moisturiser available in the UK, allegedly bringing healing and anti-oxident properties. Fullerenes, or bucky balls as they are also known, are carbon molecules that are only about one nanometre in diameter and resemble the structure of some footballs. They are allegedly used for anti-oxidant and smoothing properties in moisturisers. One product using fullerenes was withdrawn from the UK market because of concerns about its safety as a cosmetic ingredient, though they are thought to be used in some moisturisers and anti-ageing formulas in other parts of the world.

Nanotechnology Promises a Glamorous Future for Cosmetics and Skincare Products
Nanotechnologies are already in use in the cosmetics industry. Nonetheless, nanotechnology will become the next new thing in beauty products and skincare. So says Swetha Nasir, MD, PhD, clinical assistant professor in the department of dermatology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, who recently gave a talk at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology about the capacity of nanotech to improve cosmetic products in the future. From an American Academy of Dermatology: Dr. Nasir explained that when certain ingredients are included in micrometer-sized particles, which are considerably larger than nanosized particles, the result is a product than can be cosmetically unappealing. For example, one common ingredient in broad-spectrum sunscreens, which protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, is avobenzone, which can make a sunscreen greasy and very noticeable when applied to the skin. Since titanium, another common sunscreen ingredient, requires an oily mixture to dissolve, a white residue can be apparent on the skin upon application. However, when these active ingredients in sunscreens are converted into nanoparticles, they can be suspended in less greasy formulations which seem to vanish on the skin and do not leave a residue while retaining their ability to block UVA and UVB light. While widespread use of this technology is currently under evaluation, I think one of the main benefits of nanoparticles used in sunscreens will be that the particles can fit into all the nooks and crannies of the skin, packing more protection and more even coverage on the skins surface than microsized particles, said Dr. Nasir. Since sunscreen formulations using nanoparticles may be more cosmetically appealing and seem to
vanish when applied, consumers may be more inclined to use them on a regular basis. Nanotechnology also is generating excitement for its potential use in anti-aging products. When properly engineered, nanomaterials may be able to topically deliver retinoids, antioxidants and drugs such as botulinum toxin or growth factors for rejuvenation of the skin in the future. In anti-aging products, Dr. Nasir added that nanotechnology may allow active ingredients that would not normally penetrate the skin to be delivered to it. For example, vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fight age-related skin damage which works best below the top layer of skin. In bulk form, vitamin C is not very stable and is difficult to penetrate the skin. However, in future formulations, nanotechnology may increase the stability of vitamin C and enhance its ability to penetrate the skin.
