Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, MoS2, and MXene are gradually emerging in cosmetics due to their unique physical and chemical properties and rich surface functional groups. This article reviews the potential applications of these materials as antioxidants and sunscreens in cosmetics. Firstly, 2D materials high surface area, conductivity, and thermal stability make them excellent in free radical scavenging and electron transfer, making them effective antioxidants. Secondly, their UV absorption ability enables them to effectively replace traditional sunscreens and provide a broader spectrum of UV protection. In addition, this article also explores the chemical stability and biocompatibility of 2D materials in cosmetics, emphasizing their processing techniques in formula design. Although there are still challenges in large-scale production and cost control, the exploration and functional development of new 2D materials provide broad prospects for future research and applications. Therefore, the application potential of 2D materials in cosmetics is enormous and deserves further in-depth research.
