Frequently Asked Questions
How is nanotechnology used in cosmetics?
Nanocrystals, nanoemulsions, and liposomes act as delivery systems for active lipophilic compounds and UV blockers in cosmetic products. Their small size helps transport actives through the skin and improves hydration, UV filtering, and product appearance.
What cosmetic products can be made with ultrasonic processing?
Creams, gels, lotions, topicals, ointments, moisturizers, sunscreens, and patches can all incorporate ultrasonically produced nanomaterials for enhanced transdermal delivery and finish.
How do liposomes work in skincare?
Liposomes are lipid vesicles that encapsulate active ingredients and help carry them through the skin barrier, supporting systemic delivery, hydration, and wound healing while protecting sensitive actives.
Why are nanoemulsions used in sunscreens and moisturizers?
Nanosuspensions of UV filters such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide improve UV filtration while increasing optical translucency, so sunscreens and moisturizers feel lighter, look clearer, and absorb better into the skin.
Can cosmetic nanoformulations be produced at production scale?
Yes. ISM’s Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT) processors produce and incorporate nanomaterials at laboratory, bench, and industrial scales with reproducible, predictable results.
