Synopsis

Johann Wiechers was both an extremely well-regarded member of the cosmetic science community and a singular personality. He was known for his "calling it as he saw it" temperament, and the crux behind his tenure of study and research was the betterment of formulative science and the exposure of inconsistent, incomplete, or just plain wrong work in the industry.

Following his untimely death in late 2011, Wiechers treatise on the state of the global cosmetic industry was collected and is now available for the first time in print with a new preface by Rachel L. Grabenhofer, editor of Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine, and a new afterword on the importance of Wiechers opinions and vision by Howard I. Maibach.

By turns confrontational and acutely funny, Memories of a Cosmetically Disturbed Mind is both a timely manifesto on what our industry is meant to represent and a fitting curtain call for one of his generation s best and most beloved practitioners.
