This book by provides an in-depth analysis of nanotechnology in cosmeceuticals, covering pharmaceutical, chemical, and toxicological aspects. The contents of this book are divided in seven parts. The first lays the foundations of cosmetics, and nanotechnology applications. The second part focuses no nano-metaloxides, including titanium, zinc, gold, silver and others. The third part covers carbon-based products in cosmeceuticals with chapters on graphene, nano-hydroxyapatite, and general carbon-based products. The next part focuses on nano-organics, nanocellulose and biodegradable materials. Part five is dedicated to formulations of liposomes, lipids in drug delivery. Part six covers recent trends, advances, applications and progress of nanotechnology and nano products in cosmeceuticals. The final part focuses on safety and toxicity aspects of nano-cosmeceuticals. Nanotechnology in Cosmeceuticals: Advances, Challenges and Future Perspectives is an ideal reference for pharmacologists, cosmetic scientists, and chemists in academic research and corporate settings looking into leveraging nanoscience to improve the performance of cosmetics. Dermatologists and food scientists may also benefit from the foundational content present in the first part of the book.
