A REVIEW: NANOPARTICLES FOR TOPICAL DELIVERY

Jyoti Srivastava*, Ankit Singh and Smriti Mathur

ABSTRACT

Nanoparticles represent a cutting-edge approach in topical delivery systems, offering precise control over drug
release kinetics and enhanced permeation through skin barriers. This review explores the diverse applications of
nanoparticles across various domains, including dermatological treatments, cosmetic formulations, sunscreen
protection, wound healing, transdermal drug delivery, and diagnostic imaging. Nanoparticles facilitate the targeted
delivery of therapeutic agents, such as antioxidants, antimicrobials, and growth factors, improving treatment
efficacy while minimizing side effects. Their ability to traverse the stratum corneum and deliver payloads directly
to skin cells underscores their potential in personalized medicine and skincare. Continued advancements in
nanoparticle formulation and characterization promise novel solutions for addressing complex skin conditions and
enhancing cosmetic outcomes. This abstract highlights the transformative impact of nanoparticles in advancing
topical therapies and shaping the future of skincare and dermatology.
