In recent years,polymer nanomaterials have been popular in areas of cosmetic dermatology because of their advantages of enhancing skin permeability,controlling and sustaining drug release capability,higher stability,certain targeting ability,higher encapsulation efficiency and good sensory characteristics.There are many polymer products such as in the areas of shampoos for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth,as well as new moisturizers.In the field of cosmeceuticals,various types of nanocarriers,such as liposomes,niosomes,solid lipid nanoparticles,nanostructured lipid carriers and nanoemulsion have been used in the delivery of skin moisturizing and cleaning ingredients.Many well-known cosmetic brands,including Dior,Lancome and Decorte,have developed a variety of nano-cosmeceuticals.Nanocarriers can achieve controlled release of active substances and change the transdermal efficiency of drugs.Polymer nanomaterials can also be used to synthesize drugs with different biochemical properties through physical or chemical interactions between components and variable ratios of polymers and additives,which has broad prospects in the field of cosmetics and skin disease treatment.(https://www.daowen.com)
