Electrospinning is a simple, cheap and a unique method to produce nanofiber mats with controllable pore sizes and fiber diameters. Many enhanced cosmetic products like nanofiber facial masks for skin therapy, for skin cleansing or for skin healing and renewal could be produced by this method. Gaining admiration of people with a well- groomed physical appearance is one of the basic phenomena that exist in human nature. As a matter of fact; requirements of personal care bring along new developments of novel products for cosmetics. The use of nanofibers and the nanostructures in cosmetics is often referred to as “nanocosmetics.” These products are designed to provide improved performance, better skin penetration, and enhanced appearance. Nanofibers have great potential for use in cosmetics. Due to their enhanced properties like small pore size and high porosity; they can absorb huge amounts of liquids and by this means high retention levels of agents, vitamins and nutrients could be obtained and carried to the skin. Furthermore; due to their oxygen and water permeability features, they can be used as breathable cosmetics like cleaners, moisturers etc. Large surface area of nanofibers also increases the contact surface between mesh and skin which provides efficient delivery of active agents to the deeper skin parts. They can be also good templates for artificial skin applications due to their significant mechanical strength. Electrospun nanofibers can be used to encapsulate and deliver active ingredients in cosmetics. The high surface area and porosity of these nanofibers allow for controlled release of ingredients, providing longer-lasting and more effective results.
