Green synthesis of guar gum/Ag nanoparticles and their role in peel-off gel for enhanced antibacterial efficiency and optimization using RSM
2022, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :In the cosmetic industry, Polysaccharides-based natural polymer plays a crucial role as a film-forming, emulsifier, stabilizer, rheological modifier, etc. [29]. Cosmetics products in the market generally use synthetic-based polymers such as silicon, polyacrylamides, alkylene oxide, polyamide, polyether, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyester, etc. [30]. The small quantity of synthetic polymer is safe in cosmetics products.
The emerging role of nanotechnology in skincare
2021, Advances in Colloid and Interface ScienceCitation Excerpt :In most cases, the inner core accommodates the bioactive agent, while the polymeric counterpart controls its release. Nanospheres are composed of a polymeric matrix, in which numerous active ingredients can be entrapped or into which they can be adsorbed [54,55]. A large variety of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules can be loaded into these NPs, but they are mainly employed to improve the performance of chemically labile (e.g., antioxidants and retinoids), poorly water-soluble (e.g., organic filters) and volatile (e.g., fragrances) agents [56].
