Nano-Metal Oxides Market Challenges
Health Hazards From Nano-Metal oxides
The nanomaterials based sunscreen contains titania oxide and zinc oxide as UV light absorbing components, which are transparent due to their small size as it provides effective protection. Full UVA shielding is provided by organic active agents such as avobenzone but can cause skin irritation. There is growing concern about the use of nano-metal oxides, as they release free radicals upon absorption of UV radiation, which can damage DNA and can prove to be carcinogenic. Therefore, nanomaterial manufacturers typically provide coating particles that allow free radicals to recombine before entering the skin. Recent studies on nanomaterials, however, suggest that they may penetrate much deeper than micro-particles when applied to the skin, which may complicate the use of nano-metal oxides in cosmetics and may serve as a constraint on the demand for nano-metal oxides.
