Cosmetic Science and Technology

Cosmetic Science and Technology: Theoretical Principles and Applications 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.
