Are there any FDA-regulated products currently on the market that use nanotechnology?
April 03, 2006
Answer:
FDA is aware of several regulated products that employ nanotechnology, an emerging technology undertaken at scales in the realm of 1/1,000th the width of a human hair. However, to date, few makers of FDA-regulated products have claimed the use of nanotechnology in the manufacture of their products or made any nanotechnology claims for the finished products. FDA is aware that some cosmetic products claim to contain nanoparticles to increase the stability or modify release of ingredients. Similarly, FDA is aware of nanotechnology-related claims made for certain sunscreens. Though currently not aware of any safety concerns with these products, FDA plans studies to examine the effects of select nanoparticles on skin penetration.
