Microbeads, commonly found in cosmetics and personal care items, have attracted considerable interest due to their functional advantages, especially in sustained-release delivery systems. These tiny polymeric particles, which can encapsulate active ingredients, improve product effectiveness by allowing for a controlled and prolonged release while reducing negative side effects. Their growing application in exfoliants, cleansers, creams, and related products has fueled expansion in the global market; nevertheless, the environmental and health risks tied to synthetic microbeads have raised concerns as well. This review brings together existing knowledge about the different types, uses, regulatory frameworks and safety assessment. Regulations from India, the United States, the European Union, United kingdom, China, Thailand and South Korea are analyzed to emphasize the developing compliance requirements and the difficulties that manufacturers encounter.
