Abstract
Nanoparticles are tiny and cannot be seen by the naked eye. They possess different properties than macro-sized material and most of the well-established characterization methods for larger sized materials cannot be applied for nanomaterials. Hence, different techniques need to be used for a meaningful characterization of the nanosized material. This chapter will focus on the most important characterization methods that need to be applied to characterize and develop nanocarrier for cosmetic applications.
