Abstract

Cosmeceuticals, which bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, benefit significantly from nanotechnology, which enhances the stability, penetration, and efficacy of active ingredients. This review explores the role of nanocarriers such as liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and polymeric nanoparticles in cosmeceutical formulations. Advances in stimuli-responsive systems and their applications in anti-aging, skin brightening, and moisturizing products are also discussed, highlighting their potential for personalized skincare.

Keywords: Nanotechnology; Cosmeceuticals; Liposomes; SLNs; Anti-Aging
