ABSTRACT: This review is presented as a common interest in silver nanoparticles, their
origin, activity, and toxicity in cosmetic. The application of nanotechnology and
nanomaterials can be found in many cosmetic products including moisturizer, hair
care products, makeup and sunscreen. Nanomaterials are now being used in leading
cosmetics products, most commonly as chemicals used to give the protection. A silver
nanoparticle is the potent and broad spectrum antimicrobial agent. This review paper
looks into use of nano silver and provides an overview of current activity in this
area.
