Practical Knowledge for the Cosmetic Industry, Every chapter updated, 21 new chapters During the past ten years, thousands of new chemical raw materials and formulations have been developed, countless new marketing concepts have been tested and hundreds, if not thousands, of new cosmetic regulations have been enacted. With the third edition of this best-selling chemistry textbook, the authors substantially update all the original material and include 21 additional chapters of brand new material to cover recent developments in the field of cosmetic science. Authors Randy Schueller and Perry Romanowski re-emphasize the importance of providing introductory technical information to those who would like to improve their understanding of cosmetic science. The four major sections of this book cover all important aspects of the cosmetic industry, including: Orientation, Tools and Terms Product Development Cosmetic Ingredients and Vehicles Product Testing

"Cosmetic chemistry for the skin treatment professional explores the ingredients most commonly found in modern cosmetic products, explains their actions and roles in the formulations, and relates them to the effect they may have on specific conditions of the skin. This in addition to providing insights on how the various compounds provide beneficical outcomes, potential negative behaviours and contraindications to specific conditions are discussed"--Back cover.

Welcome to this ‘novice’s guide’. At last a book that explains the real science behind the cosmetics we use. Taking a gentle approach and a guided journey through the different product types, we discover that they are not as superficial as often thought and learn that there is some amazing science behind them. We shall uncover some of the truths behind the myths and point out some interesting facts on our way. Did you know? Vitamin E is the world’s most used cosmetic active ingredient. At just 1mm thick, your amazing skin keeps out just about everything it’s exposed to – including your products! A ‘chemical soup’ of amino acids, urea, mineral salts and organic acids act as ‘water magnets’ in the skin keeping it naturally moisturised. Discovered centuries ago, iron oxides (yes, the same chemicals as rust) are still commonly used inorganic pigments in foundations. A lipstick is a fine balance of waxes, oils and colourants to keep the stick stable and leave an even gloss on your lips.

With this updated edition, authors Randy Schueller and Perry Romanowski re-emphasize the importance of providing introductory technical information to those who would like to improve their understanding of cosmetic science. The authors were frustrated with the lack of technical resources available for beginners in this industry. They believe that this lack of introductory material has a negative impact on the industry¿s ability to recruit and retain talented chemists. Since the 1999 publication of the original Beginning Cosmetic Chemistry, thousands of new chemical raw materials and new formulations have been developed, countless new marketing concepts have been tested and hundreds (if not thousands) of new cosmetic regulations have been enacted. The four major sections of this book include: -Orientation, Tools and Terms -Cosmetic Ingredients and Vehicles -Product Development -Product Testing This newly updated edition will be a valuable resource for years to come!

To be an effective cosmetic chemist, the cosmetic formulator must understand the basic components involved in the creation of products and raw materials used to make them. To be successful, the language of chemistry must be understood. Organic Chemistry for Cosmetic Chemists focuses on refreshing the chemist with fundamentals of chemistry used to make raw materials used in our industry. Both theory and practice are presented. Many chapters contain problems at the end that allow the chemist to practice what they have learned. Topics include: -Structure of Organic Compounds -Raw Materials -Synthesis Approach -Nucleophilic Substitution -Sulfation/Sulfonation -Oxidation -Reduction -Polymers -Aldol Condensation -Diels Alder Reactions -Ring Opening and ClosingPacked with exercises, examples and patent references, this book is a must-have for the cosmetic chemist interested in staying on top of their game!

Uses hands-on demonstrations with familiar materials to illustrate the concepts of chemistry in terms of everyday experience. The original edition was selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association.

Cosmetics are the most widely applied products to the skin and include creams, lotions, gels and sprays. Their formulation, design and manufacturing ranges from large cosmetic houses to small private companies. This book covers the current science in the formulations of cosmetics applied to the skin. It includes basic formulation, skin science, advanced formulation, and cosmetic product development, including both descriptive and mechanistic content with an emphasis on practical aspects. Key Features: Covers cosmetic products/formulation from theory to practice Includes case studies to illustrate real-life formulation development and problem solving Offers a practical, user-friendly approach, relying on the work of recognized experts in the field Provides insights into the future directions in cosmetic product development Presents basic formulation, skin science, advanced formulation and cosmetic product development

Educating professionals and students about the chemistry, formulation technology, and related regulatory aspects of cosmetics and perfume Cosmetics and perfume comprise a multibillion-dollar global industry. Kirk-Othmer Chemical Technology of Cosmetics provides authoritative information on the substances and processes involved, including key product groups, ingredients, formulation technology, packaging, and regulatory topics in twenty-two articles. This resource makes sense of a vast group of consumer products designed to improve the health, cleanliness, and physical appearance of the human exterior. It identifies natural and synthetic ingredients and gives details on formulation of the product so that the cosmetic is safe, easy to use, and performs as described. Particular attention is paid to the technologies that have been developed to produce them, including emulsification, stick technology, powder blending, and aerosol technology. Packaging is also addressed, as it must be attractive to the consumer, be environmentally friendly, and keep the product safe as well. Regulatory information reinforces the safety aspect. Based on Wiley's renowned Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, this book presents new and carefully updated articles, and features the same breadth and quality of coverage and clarity of presentation found in the original. This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for chemists, R&D professionals, dermatologists, patent attorneys, regulatory agencies, and other professionals in the field of personal care products. It is also a must-have reference for students who plan to enter the field.
