Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our next Special Issue on the “Recent Advances in the Development of Sustainable Cosmetic Products with Nanotechnology”. This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advances in the application of nanotechnology in the areas of sustainable cosmetic products, involving the development of biodegradable nanocarriers made from natural and biocompatible polymers that reduce the environmental impact of cosmetics; the encapsulation of natural ingredients (such as essential oils and plant extracts), and improving their stability, efficacy, and skin permeation; sustainable nanomaterials such as nanocellulose use, green nanochemistry, and nanoparticles derived from renewable sources; waste reduction through nano-structured systems that allow for the encapsulation of ingredients from waste; green nanotechnology and green synthesis methods, such as solvent-free processes and biosynthesis-based nanoparticle production; nanotechnological UV filters advancing the development of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles to enhance UV protection without harming the environment. Areas of research may include the following:
- Biodegradable nanocarriers made from natural and biocompatible polymers that reduce the environmental impact of cosmetics.
- The encapsulation of natural ingredients (such as essential oils and plant extracts), improving their stability, efficacy, and skin permeation.
- Sustainable nanomaterials such as the use of nanocellulose, lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, green nanochemistry, and nanoparticles derived from renewable sources.
- Waste Reduction through nano-structured systems that allow for the encapsulation of ingredients from waste.
- Green Nanotechnology through green synthesis methods, such as solvent-free processes and biosynthesis-based nanoparticle production.
- Nanotechnology for photoprotectors and cosmetics actives: design, characterization, in vitro release, and ex vivo permeation with artificial skin.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cosmetics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
