3. Nanotechnology in Cosmetics
Nanoparticles are extremely small particles, typically less than 100 nanometers in size. In cosmetics, nanoparticles are used in various products like sunscreens, moisturizers, and makeup to enhance their properties. While nanoparticles offer benefits, we avoid them due to potential safety concerns.
