Description
Summary:"Cosmetics are a fast-growing segment in the global personal care industry, and the applications of nanocosmeceuticals are on the rise. Conventional cosmetics greatly lack specific delivery systems for prolonging effects and thus require relatively heavy doses. Nanocosmeceuticals, having more advanced nutrient delivery mechanisms, deliver highly specific nutrients deeper into the skin where it can be metabolized and used to nourish cells. This particular characteristic of nanocosmeceuticals can increase the aesthetic appeal of a product, influencing the consumer's purchase decision. Nanocosmeceuticals: Innovation, Application, and Safety highlights the trends and applications of nanotechnology in cosmeceuticals for more advanced and task-specific nutrient delivery and long-term effects of personal care products using liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, transferosomes, niosomes, phytosomes, nanoemulsions, silver nanoparticles, etc. It also provides detailed information on regulatory laws, safety, and marketing aspects of nanocosmeceuticals. This book is an indispensable guide for professors, researchers, students, and formulation chemists, as well as formulation scientists in academia and industry, cometicians, and decision-makers in consumer organizations"--Publisher.
