    Nanotechnology is being used in many cosmetic products to enhance their properties and functionality. Some key applications of nanoparticles in cosmetics include their use as delivery vehicles for active ingredients, to increase sun protection in sunscreens by using smaller titanium dioxide and zinc oxide particles, and as additives for their antimicrobial, anti-moisture, or optical properties. However, more research is still needed to fully understand the safety of nanoparticles in cosmetics due to concerns about their insolubility and potential toxicity.
