Nanomaterials in Cosmetic and Personal Care Market - Global Industry Segment, Trends and Forecast Up to 2020

Albany, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/12/2014 -- The particles of physical substances which are intentionally prepared with dimension ranges between 1-150 nm are termed as nanomaterials. Properties of nanomaterials may vary from particle of same materials with micron- or mm-scale dimensions. Nanomaterials can also be called as building blocks of nanotechnology in which physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials can be altered for specific applications. Technology in which nanomaterials are used offers extensive improvements in the field of cosmetics and personal care, nanomaterials used in the cosmetics and personal care differ from those used in other industries in their shape, molecular structure, their mode of usage and in their interactions with the environment and living world. These nanomaterials can be used in sunscreens, skin creams, hair products and oral hygiene products such as toothpastes and mouthwash. There are wide ranges of materials which can be used for preparing nanomaterials out of which zinc oxide, gold and titanium dioxide very common and used in different cosmetic products.
