Nanocosmetics and Nanomedicines

The book "e;Nanocosmetics and nanomedicines: new approaches for skin care"e; contains a summary of the most important nanocarriers for skin delivery. Although "e;nanocosmetics"e; is a subject widely commented in the academy and the beauty industry, a book covering the skin care treatments using nanotechnological approaches with cosmetics and nanomedicines is still missing, therefore the need for this publication. This book is divided in three parts: The first one (Part A) is devoted to a brief review on the main topics related to the skin delivery and to the introduction of the subject "e;nanocosmetics"e;. The second part (Part B) presents different types of nanocarriers applied as skin delivery systems for cosmetics or drugs. The last part (Part C) shows a wide range of applications of nanotechnology on the skin care area as well as on dermatocosmetic and dermatological fields.
