From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9 An interesting and well-written book that can be used for general information on the history and chemistry of soap, toothpaste, creams and lotions, fragrances, hair care products and makeup, or as a how-to guide for testing and creating cosmetics. Experiments follow brief histories of the use and manufacture of cosmetics, which is fascinating reading on its own, but will have added appeal to trivia buffs. Experimenters who liked Cobb's How to Really Fool Yourself (Lippincott, 1981) will enjoy investigating these everyday products. Unfamiliar words are defined within the text and strong warnings for safety measures are given as needed throughout. Similar to but more scientific than Being Beautiful: the Story of Cosmetics from Ancient Art to Modern Science by Carolyn Meyer (Morrow, 1977; o.p.). Black-and-white drawings, some quite humorous, add interest and appeal. Diane P. Tuccillo, Mesa Public Library, Ariz.
