Correlation of cosmetic nanomaterials attributes and their efficacy
With the growth of nanotechnology,using nanomaterials in the cosmetics industry is becoming more common.Based on the cosmetic nanomaterials included in European Union regulations and the evaluation work of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety(SCCS),this paper summarizes the essential information of five cosmetic nanomaterials,including 1,3,5-Triazine,2,4,6-tris[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl-,zinc oxide,carbon black,titanium dioxide,and methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol.It compares the general characterization methods and limit requirements of their primary physicochemical properties.To identify the critical material characteristics that affect the quality of cosmetic nanomaterials and to offer helpful assistance for quality control of the related products,additional investigation of the physicochemical properties that have significant relevance to cosmetic nanomaterials is conducted.
