The increasing demand for green and ethical beauty products is expected to drive the growth of nanotechnology in the cosmetics market in the future. Green and ethical beauty products are characterized by their use of natural, often organic, ingredients and their emphasis on sustainability and cruelty-free practices. This demand is driven by eco-conscious consumers seeking products with natural ingredients and cruelty-free production processes. Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in revolutionizing formulations in green and ethical beauty by enabling the creation of high-performance products with potentially fewer ingredients or more sustainable options. For example, The Soil Association's Organic Beauty and Wellbeing Market Report in March 2024 highlighted a remarkable 65% growth in organic mother and baby care and a solid 6% growth in organic health and personal care within the UK. The overall organic beauty and wellbeing market in the UK reached £147.6 million ($191.88 million) in 2022, compared to £138.2 million ($186.57 million) in 2021. This growth underscores the increasing demand for green and ethical beauty products driving nanotechnology adoption in the cosmetics market.

Major companies in the nanotechnology cosmetics market are focusing on creating advanced formulations, such as nanotechnology-based eye care products, to deliver active ingredients more effectively for enhanced skin rejuvenation and protection. These nanotechnology-based products improve the delivery and efficacy of ingredients, addressing concerns like puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles. By ensuring deeper absorption, they offer better hydration, protection, and anti-aging benefits. For example, in January 2023, ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, an India-based pharmaceutical company, launched a new ocular aesthetic range under the brands Eyecirque, Lashfactor, and Vasuki. The Eyecirque line includes the world’s first nanotechnology-based gel serum, under-eye skin brightening tablets, lubricating eye drops, and eye supplements, all made from plant-based ingredients for safe use. Lashfactor provides premium eye serums designed to enhance natural beauty with fast absorption using nanotechnology. Additionally, the Vasuki Facial Gel Serum, featuring a synthetic neurotoxin snake venom complex, targets expression wrinkles and fine lines without altering facial expressions. Collectively, these products offer effective and safe solutions for eye health and aesthetic enhancement.
