Nanotechnology is now being utilized in cosmetic products to enhance their quality. Personal care products, including anti-aging creams, anti-acne products, bronzers, face masks, moisturizers, and shampoos, are just a few examples of products that can be refined with nanomaterials to enhance their attributes.

What are Nanofiber Beauty Masks Made Of?

Nanofiber cosmetic masks are developed by directly mixing active ingredients with a polymer solution. The ingredients are evenly distributed on the interior and surface of the composite nanofibers before drying and stiffening to form a robust mask. The mask has three layers: protective, dry essence, and carrier.

Adding the nanomaterial from reliable NanospiderTM electrospinning generates a beauty mask that sits snugly on the skin, filling even the tiniest depressions a conventional mask might struggle with. NanospiderTM is a technology that electro-spins the natural polymers from which nano masks are made.

Materials Used in Nano Masks and Their Functions

NanospiderTM electrospinning is an approach that manufactures nanofibers from different polymer solutions for cosmetic use cases. Natural polymers are widely utilized for their additional benefits to final products. Cellulose, keratin, collagen, and chitosan can all be electrospun.

Bioactive chitosan has multiple, irrefutably positive properties, making beauty nano masks the go-to cosmetic aid. A chitosan-based mask’s nanostructure flawlessly adjusts to the skin’s contours and enables deep skin regeneration. Other advantages include:

  • Easy delivery of active substances such as vitamins into the skin.
  • Does not clog skin pores and may be easily washed with either water or water-soluble substances.
  • High retention level as the nanofibers’ small pore size and high porosity allow the mask to absorb a large quantity of fluid.
  • Breathability—high oxygen and water permeability enable classic masks to become breathable cosmetics that moisturize the skin.
  • The nanofibers’ large surface area increases the contact area between the mask and the skin, delivering active substances to the skin’s deeper layers.

Classic Face Masks vs. Nano Masks

Conventional cosmetic masks fabricated from non-woven fabrics and cotton are currently widely available but contain unstable active ingredients like ascorbic acid.

This acid picks up free radicals and eradicates oxidants, explaining why cosmetics and dermatological products often include it, but its chemical components are unstable and easily oxidizable, and once oxidized, the mask deteriorates and can lead to skin allergies. Nano masks, on the other hand, don’t have such problems.

When a classic mask moisturizes the skin, the ingredients are released and dissolved to produce the greatest possible effect, but this effect doesn’t last long. The mask also does not stick to the skin well and insufficiently absorbs the nutrient solution and dripping water. Such problems are rarely encountered with nanofiber cosmetic masks.

Conventional face mask Nanofiber face mask
Has difficulty getting larger molecules to penetrate into the skin. Nanofibers better release active substances into the skin’s deeper layers.
Aggressive compounds, such as isopropyl alcohol, are used as carriers for active substances. Up to three times less aggressive compounds.
Active ingredients require much time to penetrate the skin. Active ingredients take a fraction of the time of those in conventional face masks to penetrate the skin.
Less effective healing. Long-lasting healing.
