Safety fears over nanocosmetics

One of my client asked me if we use nanotechnology in our Miessence range (we don’t). She was concerned about her family’s health.

Nanotechnology is the science of using atoms and molecules on the nanoscale – 80,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

The beauty industry uses nanotechnology to make products like sun creams and anti-aging products with tiny particles that penetrate deeper into the skin surface, to provide better results.

Some experts are concerned about their possible long-term effects on the body.

We know that everything we put on our skin penetrates into the blood stream. We as consumers must get informed about which products use nanomaterials, so we can make a choice.
