- Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreens: focus on their safety and effectiveness. (2011, background): “Skin penetration Skin penetration studies, focusing mainly on TiO 2 and ZnO NPs, have been regularly reviewed.(16,83,84) This review will highlight some essential results and focus on human skin penetration studies that have used original particle sizes smaller than 100 nm in long-term applications ”
- Minimising oil droplet size using ultrasonic emulsification. (2009, background): “The small droplet size implies that nanoemulsions flow easily, can be optically transparent and have unique texture/rheological properties [3,4].”
- Nanomaterials and nanoparticles: Sources and toxicity (2007, background): “Currently, a controversial subject is the toxicity of titanium dioxide from cosmetics [139].”
- Nanoparticles and microparticles for skin drug delivery. (2011, background): “nanoparticles, be they viruses, bacteria, dust, allergens or materials, do not penetrate human skin unless the skin barrier is disrupted [13,16].”
- ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and their antifungal activity against coffee fungus Erythricium salmonicolor (2017, background): “Since ZnO is normally catalogued as a non-toxic material (Patnaik 2003), it is used in a wide range of cosmetic products, including moisturizers, lip products, mineral make-up bases, face powders, ointments, lotions, and hand creams (Nohynek et al. 2007).”
- Toxicity assessment on haemotology, biochemical and histopathological alterations of silver nanoparticles-exposed freshwater fish Labeo rohita (2015, background): “Metal nanoparticles have been used in various fields such as consumer products, industrial applications and health care technology are likely to enter the environment (Masciangioli and Zhang 2003; Nohynek et al. 2007; Benn and Westerhoff 2008) stated that the AgNPs are commonly used in the textiles ”
- Microneedles: A New Frontier in Nanomedicine Delivery (2016, positive): “showed that both zinc and titanium oxide particles penetrate only into the outermost layers of the SC (63).”
- Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Selective Destruction of Tumor Cells and Potential for Drug Delivery Applications (2010, background): “Owing to their inherent ability to absorb UV irradiation and optical transparency, ZnO nanoparticles are used in the cosmetic industry, typically in sunscreens and facial creams [38,67].”
