Avanços da nanotecnologia no desenvolvimento de dermocosméticos: um enfoque nas estratégias tecnológicas de produtos antienvelhecimento

Abstract

The skin plays a crucial role in personal image and aesthetics and is susceptible to the manifestation of signs of aging. Therefore, the search for innovative solutions to prevent and mitigate this physiological phenomenon has increased. In this context, dermocosmetic products with anti-aging action stand out for being economical, easy to apply, and for the absence of associated injuries when compared to other interventions. However, the effectiveness of dermocosmetics is compromised by the complexity of skin penetration, attributed to skin stratification and the dimensions of dermocosmetic actives. Thus, nanotechnological strategies applied to dermocosmetics assume significant relevance, exerting a substantial impact on improving their efficacy. This study will provide a detailed and focused exposition of nanotechnological systems, highlighting their multifunctional properties and their application in the effective encapsulation of dermocosmetic actives with anti-aging action. The approach aims to demonstrate how nanotechnology can enhance the effectiveness of skin treatments by overcoming obstacles related to skin penetration, stability of dermocosmetics actives, and control of their release.
