From the Back Cover

INTRODUCTION TO COSMETIC FORMULATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Cosmetic science is an interdisciplinary science involving chemistry, biology, formulation science, pharmacology, marketing, and law. With an increasing number of cosmetic products aimed at special target audiences and gaining importance with consumers, the need for innovation and creative thinking to address the cosmetic industry's challenges has never been more apparent.

Designed as an educational and training resource at both the fundamental and practical levels, this book provides a clear and easily understandable review of cosmetics and over-the-counter (OTC) drug-cosmetic products. The topics include general physiological, pharmaceutical and formulation knowledge, and quality control considerations for decorative and personal care products and their formulation. In the first two chapters, the authors present general concepts and a legislative overview for cosmetics. The second part of the book deals with decorative care, skin care, hair care, oral and dental care, and finally other product types like hair removal products and sunless tanners.

Readers relying on this book come away understanding cosmetics and personal care products - including their regulation, main characteristics, ingredients, formulation, testing and packaging. Each chapter enhances the learning experience through their unifying structure that opens with a set of learning objectives and features "Did You Know?" and FYI (For Your Information) textboxes to highlight interesting information to build on the material in the text and point out further sources of information. Along with the chapter review questions and a glossary of key terms, these features combine to make for a valuable resource for all levels of cosmetic students and professionals.
