Description

Cosmetic Science and Technology: Theoretical Principles and Applications, Second Edition covers the fundamental aspects of cosmetic science that are necessary to understand material development, formulation, and the dermatological effects that result from the use of these products.

The book fulfils this role by offering a comprehensive view of cosmetic science and technology, including environmental and dermatological concerns. As the cosmetics field quickly applies cutting-edge research to high value commercial products that have a large impact in our lives and on the world's economy, this book is an indispensable source of information that is ideal for experienced researchers and scientists, as well as non-scientists who want to learn more about this topic on an introductory level.

The second edition features much greater emphasis on the sustainable development goals which have now become so central to the cosmetics industry and society more generally, linked to critical environmental and safety concerns which are also increasingly central to the field. This book will appeal to chemical engineers, chemists, physical chemists and cosmetic chemists in cosmetics research and development, as well as dermatologists and toxicologists.

Key features

  • Covers the science, preparation, function, and interaction of cosmetic products with skin
  • Addresses the increasingly important safety and environmental concerns related to cosmetics and their use
  • Features an increased focus and emphasis upon sustainability as a cornerstone of advancements in cosmetics
  • Thorough consolidation and revision of all book chapters
  • Timely new chapters include advances in the concept of holistic sustainability, UV care, adhesion and rheology in transfer resistant cosmetics, liposome, and structural aspects of stratum corneum

Readership

Scientists and Technologists specializing in cosmetic research and manufacturing as well as graduate and some upper undergraduate students of cosmetic science wanting to get an introductory overview of the field, Chemical engineers, chemists, physical chemists and cosmetic chemists in cosmetics research and development, as well as dermatologists and toxicologists. Professionals, students, and researchers from inter-related and adjacent disciplines such as pharmaceutics, biomedical engineering and biology seeking to learn more about the cosmetic industry
