Summary

Introduction

ZnO NPs have many applications in various types of cosmetic products and health care sectors. They are found in many products such as sunscreens, food additives, pigments, rubber manufacture, and electronic materials. In spite of the remarkable advantages of NPs in medicine and industry, there have been raised evidence about their potential adverse effects in the living organisms. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have immense potential and application in various types of cosmetic products and health care sectors.They have attractive properties, and attracted great interest worldwide.Yet despite its potentially interesting beneficial effects, it has been proven that they can be cytotoxic and genotoxic for multiple types of human cells, especially the reproductive system
