Produce and incorporate uniform nanocrystals, nanoemulsions, and liposomes into cosmetic products. Manufacture creams, gels, lotions, topicals, ointments, moisturizers, and patches with enhanced transdermal drug delivery properties. Improve UV filtration properties and optical translucency of sunscreens and moisturizers. Cosmetic products, such as creams, gels, lotions, topicals, ointments, sunscreens, moisturizers, and patches, incorporating nanocrystals, nanoemulsions, and liposomes are increasingly used as delivery systems for active lipophilic compounds and UV blockers. The ability of nanoparticles to efficiently transport active agents through the skin gives these products a wide range of therapeutic properties, ranging from enhanced systemic drug delivery to skin hydration and wound healing. The application of nanomaterials in sunscreens and moisturizers takes advantage of enhanced UV filtering properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosuspensions and ensures a higher degree of optical translucency and better absorption by the skin. Industrial Sonomechanics® patented Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT)-based laboratory, bench, and industrial ultrasonic liquid processors make it easy to produce and incorporate nanomaterials into a wide range of cosmetic products, guaranteeing reproducible and predictable results at any scale of operation. How is nanotechnology used in cosmetics? Nanocrystals, nanoemulsions, and liposomes act as delivery systems for active lipophilic compounds and UV blockers in cosmetic products. Their small size helps transport actives through the skin and improves hydration, UV filtering, and product appearance. What cosmetic products can be made with ultrasonic processing? Creams, gels, lotions, topicals, ointments, moisturizers, sunscreens, and patches can all incorporate ultrasonically produced nanomaterials for enhanced transdermal delivery and finish. How do liposomes work in skincare? Liposomes are lipid vesicles that encapsulate active ingredients and help carry them through the skin barrier, supporting systemic delivery, hydration, and wound healing while protecting sensitive actives. Why are nanoemulsions used in sunscreens and moisturizers? Nanosuspensions of UV filters such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide improve UV filtration while increasing optical translucency, so sunscreens and moisturizers feel lighter, look clearer, and absorb better into the skin. Can cosmetic nanoformulations be produced at production scale? Yes. ISM’s Barbell Horn Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT) processors produce and incorporate nanomaterials at laboratory, bench, and industrial scales with reproducible, predictable results.
