Abstract
Cosmeceutical is considered one of the most promising areas, and its use has been increased drastically in the past few years due to personal awareness. Nanotechnology is the recent progress of the cosmeceutical industry and has been observed as a safe delivery system for active pharmaceutical ingredients. Because of the unique physical and chemical properties, nanostructured substances gained recognition and attention. Nonionic surfactant-based nanovesicles, i.e., niosome, are primarily composed of cholesterol and a nonionic surfactant such as polysorbate 80. Niosome is the area of interest for the cosmeceutical industry because of its better dermal penetration property, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, etc. Niosome is found to be useful in various conditions related to pigmentation, wrinkles, aging of the skin, hair loss, and nail care. Few formulations and patents are available still now though many are in research. This chapter outlines a brief idea about surfactant-based nanosize liposome, mainly nonionic surfactant-based liposome (noisome), the advantages and disadvantages of niosomal cosmeceuticals, their applications, and also some related available patents, and marketed cosmeceuticals.
