Nanocosmetics

Many whitening and antiaging cosmetic products apply various vitamin complexes and their derivatives, but not all products offer sufficient tangible results, as the corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier that considerably reduces the absorption rate of the vitamins and other active ingredients. Apart from this, the vitamins are decomposed easily under ordinary conditions. The nanocosmetic technology can help these skin whitening and antiwrinkle/sagging applications, to nanosize the vitamin derivatives, amino acids, and other active ingredients, so that they can reach the target areas in a stable form, and sustain the pharmacological effect for a long time.
