Biomaterials and Bioengineering Approaches in Cosmetics explores the intersection of biomaterials, bioengineering, and cosmetic science, bridging traditional practices with modern technological advancements. Divided into five parts, readers are systematically guided through the development and application of cosmetics and cosmeceuticals, concluding with key case studies and industrial insights. This is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of biomaterials, biomedicine, biotechnology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical science who are new to cosmetics and wish to gain a comprehensive overview of the field.

It is also ideal for professionals in the cosmetics field who want to refresh their knowledge and better understand related fields.

• Combines foundational concepts in cosmetic science, biomaterials, and bioengineering to further explore the interdisciplinary development of enhanced cosmetic products
• Assesses the benefits and challenges of a range of biomaterials and bioengineering strategies for use in cosmetics, helping the reader to make informed decisions
• Includes a section for key case studies, aiding in the translation from research to industry
