Abstract
With the improvement of people’s quality of life, skin management and skincare products have become the focus and topics of more and more people’s attention. Among them, the most popular products are anti-aging products. However, the main ingredients in anti-aging products are Antioxidants (AOs), and the irritation and penetrability of the antioxidants might prevent them from being used on the skin directly. With the development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers are created to solve these problems. Herein, liposomes, nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanocarriers (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are summarized. Besides, relative applications, benefits, and drawbacks are discussed. This review is intended to deepen the understanding of nanocarriers and promote safer applications of nanocarriers in the cosmetic industry.
