Introduction
Nanotechnology, one of the most important scientific innovation of our time, has been implemented in a variety of fields ranging from electronics to medicine. Nanotechnology deals with controlling very very small particles. New lines of “cosmeceuticals and topical skin care” are appearing in doctors offices, well known spas and upscale retail stores that use the science of nanotechnology to deliver active ingredients to the inner most layers of the skin, rejuvenating and revitalizing skin from the inside out. Nanometer-sized particles are very tiny and can only be seen using powerful microscopes. These microscopic granules can penetrate deep into the skin to produce astonishing results.
Nanotechnology in a new skin care formula has various advantages. The nano skin care technology involves the inclusion of nano particles in the range of 100-140 microns within the products that can get deeper into the skin to produce beneficial results. Anti-aging skin care products and sunscreens are using nanotechnology and are being marketed as nano skin care products. Nanotechnology products can also be used for treating dark circles under eyes. Dark circles occur due to improper circulation of blood. The use of nanotechnology products will improve the circulation of blood as well as the elimination of waste products and oxidized particles that cause darkening. This would result in diminishing the dark circles almost completely. Many of all these nanotechnology skin care products have been clinically proven to rebuild healthy skin on a cellular level.
Commercial Nanotechnology Delivery Systems
Elsom research (http://www.elsomresearch.com) has developed several nanotechnology delivery systems including Nanosomes™, nano-emulsion Dispersicles™, and nano-encapsulates. Elson Research can incorporate actives into these nano-structures and further formulate them into topicals and topical delivery systems.
Nano-encapsulation of actives can improve their function, increase the range of their activity, reduce the concentration of use, increase shelf life, reduce color and odor of actives, protect the active from rapid degradation and protect the skin from prolonged exposure to actives.
Nano-emulsion creates a large surface-to-volume ratio for emulsion particles that contact skin, so more active ingredients contact the skin at the surface-to-surface interaction between the emulsion and the the skin. Small emulsion particulates will not clog the pores and will allow air and water to flow between them. Curvature definitions of small emulsion surface components can effect emulsion potency and interaction characteristics with skin.
Nanosomes™ (nano-liposomes) can act as both encapsulation and delivery systems. Our Nanosome™-derived technologies revitalize the field of liposome technology with new and exciting applications, particularly in the pioneering of anti-aging research.
Nanotechnology Skin Care Lines
Beyond Skin Science, a California-based skin care provider, has launched in 2006 a complete range of anti-aging skin care products (Eternalis) formulated with its nano-derived NanoChem technology, , a proprietary technology which delivers active ingredients that penetrate the skin deeper with small particle size ingredients into nano-emulsions. The Eternalis Anti-Aging System features four products that combine to provide what the company calls a complete anti-aging treatment. The product line combine the company’s nanotechnology alongside antioxidant and anti-irritants as well as vitamins and nutrients.
Cosmeceuticals and natural skincare by Elsom Research are active nano-topicals formulated with vitamins, actives and other natural ingredients. Cosmeceuticals undergo enhanced formulation with Elsom Research’s nano-technology systems.
Renuvie Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate uses an advanced Nanotechnology System to provide increased potency and improved absorption compared to the leading competitors.
