Cosmeceuticals are the cosmetic products which incorporates the biologically active ingredients which have therapeutic effects on the surface being applied. The primary goal of this review paper is to deliver a critical and comprehensive discussion on the role of nanomaterials in modern cosmetic science. This text includes an interpretation of the data underlying generic information reported on the product labels of formulations already available in the marketplace, information that often lacks details identifying specific components of the product, especially when nanomaterials are employed.
