Nanotecnologia aplicada ao desenvolvimento e inovações de produtos cosméticos

Abstract

Nanotechnology represents one of the most significant advances in modern science, with applications across different areas, including the cosmetic industry. The use of nanobiotechnology in cosmetics has enabled the development of innovative products with greater efficacy, safety, and stability, expanding the potential of bioactive compounds through nanostructured systems. This study aims to analyze the main advances in nanotechnology applied to cosmetics, highlighting its relevance to the development of innovative formulations, as well as its benefits and limitations in practice. The research was conducted through a literature review in recognized scientific databases, including PubMed, Scielo, ScienceDirect, and CAPES Journals, prioritizing studies between 2015 and 2025. The results show that nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the cosmetic field, allowing greater skin penetration, controlled release of actives, increased bioavailability, and reduction of adverse effects. However, the use of nanotechnology also raises biosafety and regulatory issues that still require broad discussion.
