Cosmetic and beauty products are widely used for making look and appearance better. These products especially skincare products contains lots of ingredient and the latest concern about these products is that these contains man made nanoparticles.
Nanoparticles are so tiny that there is a possibility of absorbing these particles deep into the skin. Recently Soil Association has decided to ban these products. After ban, no products containing nanoparticles will be certified for skincare or cosmetic application. Even the ban will put a hold on certification of certain other clothing and food products containing nanoparticles.
With the high beneficial research in the area of nanotechnology, there is high concern about the health hazard associated with the nanoparticles as these can permeate cell membrane in humans. Many multinationals are now using these nanoparticles in their skincare formulations and that too without having any level to warn consumers.
