Finding renewable and green resources for nanomaterial preparation is a compelling topic concerning the sustainability in nanotechnological applications. In particular, lignin-based nanoparticles are pivotal for unlocking the use of lignin in value added products. In this paper, we isolated pure lignin (ca. 98 % of purity) from elephant grass (Pennisetaim purpureum) using two simple extractions with diluted acid and alkali solutions and prepared lignin and lignin acetate nanoparticles dispersed in water-basis by anti-solvent addition. Elephant grass in natura contains ca. 25 % of lignin, which could be converted into lignin nanoparticles with a 37 % yield. Spherical lignin and lignin acetate nanoparticles were revealed by electron microscopies (TEM and FESEM) and proved to be stable in a wide pH range (5-11) and ionic strength lower than 0.01. Lignin nanoparticles showed higher antioxidant activity (RSI of ca. 82) as compared to lignin in solution and to the commercial antioxidants (BHT and BHA). These nanoparticles were successfully incorporated in a neutral cream, resulting in a tinted sunscreen formulation with both ultraviolet and visible absorption. Altogether, we present here an effective method to isolate pure lignin from a non-food biomass and to prepare stable and highly antioxidant lignin nanoparticles that can be applied in dermocosmetics and are intrinsically non-toxic to the environment.
