Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are now being used by cosmetic companies like L'Oreal and L'Core Paris when it comes to creating creams and lotions. Gold nanoparticles have been used in the past in pharmaceutical and medical uses, but it is only recently that cosmetic brands are seeking patents for gold nanoparticles to use them for cosmetic formulation.

dbo:abstract
  • Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are now being used by cosmetic companies like L'Oreal and L'Core Paris when it comes to creating creams and lotions. Gold nanoparticles have been used in the past in pharmaceutical and medical uses, but it is only recently that cosmetic brands are seeking patents for gold nanoparticles to use them for cosmetic formulation. Research conducted by Tatsiana Mironava, PhD, from Stony Brook University concluded that the size, concentration and frequency of application plays a major part in determining if the material is toxic. Research studies are being conducted to find out the benefits of using gold nanoparticles in cosmetic products and creams. Some of the products that claim to use gold in the formulation would include the L'Core Paris 24k Collection. The recent studies have concluded that gold is inert, and safe for internal medicine, but there is still an ongoing research as to the effects of gold when applied on other purposes in the body. (en)
