TLDR Niosomes improve the effectiveness of skin and hair cosmetics.
The systematic review examined the use of niosomes in cosmetics, emphasizing their role in enhancing the delivery and effectiveness of active ingredients. Niosomes, as stable and cost-effective nanocarriers, improved skin penetration, bioavailability, and prolonged release of compounds, making them suitable for applications in anti-ageing, anti-alopecia, and moisturizing products. They effectively encapsulated both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds, enhancing stability and efficacy. The review highlighted niosomes' potential in improving hair health and treating hair loss with agents like pumpkin seed oil. Despite promising results, the review called for further research to fully explore the benefits of niosomes in cosmetic formulations.
