Mini-Review: Nanofiber and Nanoparticle-Based Biodegradable Masks for Skincare

Abstract

This mini-review explores the role of nanotechnology in biodegradable facial masks, focusing on nanofibers and

nanoparticles. Nanofiber-based masks improve skin adhesion, enhance ingredient release, and promote moisture retention,

while nanoparticles contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, extending the shelf life of active compounds. The

environmental impact and biodegradability of these materials are discussed alongside challenges such as cost, durability, and

safety concerns. Future directions include optimizing manufacturing techniques, improving cost-effectiveness, and integrating

smart skincare features. This review highlights the transformative potential of nanotechnology in developing effective and eco-

friendly skincare masks.
