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.

Cosmetic science covers the fields from natural sciences to human and social sciences, and is an important interdisciplinary element in various scientific disciples. New Cosmetic Science is a completely updated comprehensive review of its 35 year old counterpart Cosmetic Science. New Cosmetic Science has been written to give as many people as possible a better understanding of the subject, from scientists and technologists specializing in cosmetic research and manufacturing, to students of cosmetic science, and people with a wide range of interests concerning cosmetics.The relationship between the various disciplines comprising cosmetic science, and cosmetics, is described in Part I. In addition to discussing the safety of cosmetics, the "Usefulness of Cosmetics", rapidly becoming an important theme, is described using research examples. The latest findings on cosmetic stability are presented, as are databases, books and magazines, increasingly used by cosmetic scientists. Part II deals with cosmetics from a usage viewpoint, including skin care cosmetics, makeup cosmetics, hair care cosmetics, fragrances, body cosmetics, and oral care cosmetics. Oral care cosmetics and body cosmetics are presented with product performance, types, main components, prescriptions and manufacturing methods described for each item.This excellent volume enlightens the reader not only on current cosmetics and usage, but indicates future progress enlarging the beneficial effects of cosmetics. Products with better pharmaceutical properties (cosmeceuticals), working both physically and psychologically, are also highlighted.

Specifically written to meet the needs of the cosmetic chemist and engineer, this reference outlines the latest technologies and issues pertinent to the development novel skin care products including advances in formulation and development, raw materials and active ingredients, compound testing, and clinical assessment. Organized by product categor

Cosmetic science within the realm of pharmacy is a fascinating interdisciplinary field that merges pharmaceutical knowledge with cosmetic formulation expertise. It delves into the development, production, and evaluation of a wide range of personal care products, including skincare, haircare, makeup, and fragrances. This burgeoning field plays a crucial role in meeting consumer demands for innovative, safe, and effective cosmetic products. At its core, cosmetic science in pharmacy harnesses principles of chemistry, biology, and material science to create products that enhance and maintain the health, appearance, and well-being of the skin, hair, and overall body. It delves into the intricate understanding of raw materials, formulation techniques, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that products not only deliver their intended benefits but are also safe for consumer use. One of the key aspects of cosmetic science is the careful selection and evaluation of ingredients. This involves an in-depth knowledge of various compounds, including emollients, humectants, surfactants, preservatives, and active agents. Understanding the interactions between these components is vital for achieving desired product characteristics such as texture, stability, and efficacy.

Handbook of Cosmetic Science: An Introduction to Principles and Applications is a guidebook that aids in addressing several areas of concerns in cosmetic science. The book is comprised of 24 chapters that cover the wide spectrum of issues in cosmetics, from application of products up to the proper handling and packaging of cosmetic products. The text first discusses the importance of the body surfaces to which perfumes and cosmetics are applied such as the skin, hair, and teeth. Next the book deals with the chemistry of the raw materials that are processed in the cosmetics industry. The next chapters cover the formulation, production, and packaging of cosmetic products, along with product evaluation and measures to prevent damage to the goods. The text will be of great use to individuals involved in the research, development, production, and application of cosmetic products.

Moisturizers, lotions, creams, as well as perfumes are all examples of cosmetics, which are the most often used items for topical skin care. There are both major cosmetics conglomerates and tiny, independent manufacturers of these products. This book discusses the most up-to-date research on how to create safe and effective skin care products. Formulation basics, skin science, more complex formulations, and the creation of cosmetic products are all covered, along with illustrative and explanatory mechanisms that are ultimately useful in the real world. The handy reference on plant-based cosmetic active chemicals will help educate researchers, cosmetic sciences specialists, and dermatology professionals on the fundamentals and practical applications of this field. This is a handy book on a subject that's garnering a lot of attention right now, serving as both a succinct guide from leading scholars and a contemporary guide to putting theory into practice. iv This book mainly covers topics like Classification of cosmetics, Cosmetics excipients, Formulation and Building blocks of skin care products, hair care products, Role of herbs in cosmetics, Principles of cosmetics evaluation etc.
