Abstract:
This book, unlike others in the market, is about cometicology, i.e., it includes a very thorough section on the physiology of the skin, nails and hair, which most books leave out. Then the other chapters provide not only the background for the production of different products but provide with very valuable formulation approaches and formulas. The manufacture of cosmetics chapter is especially useful. There is very little in the market when it comes to industrial production and the scale up process and this chapter is very instructive. Given the approach of the book, this reference should be helpful not only to cosmetologists but to cosmetic dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons and everybody in the cosmetic industry. This book is severely out of date, but still provides a good introduction to the science of cosmetics.
