About this title

Synopsis:

New edition to come soon! Authors Randy Schueller and Perry Romanowski re-emphasize the importance of providing introductory technical information to those who would like to improve their understanding of cosmetic science. The authors were frustrated with the lack of technical resources available for beginners in this industry. They believe that this lack of introductory material has a negative impact on the industry s ability to recruit and retain talented chemists.

Since the 1999 publication of the original Beginning Cosmetic Chemistry, thousands of new chemical raw materials and new formulations have been developed, countless new marketing concepts have been tested and hundreds (if not thousands) of new cosmetic regulations have been enacted.

The four major sections of this book include: Orientation, Tools and Terms, Cosmetic Ingredients and Vehicles, Product Development and Product Testing
