About this title

Synopsis

A moisturizer, shampoo, serum, or lipstick may look simple—but behind every successful cosmetic product is a demanding combination of biology, chemistry, formulation science, manufacturing, safety, and regulation.

Cosmetic Science and Technology Textbook gives you the connected scientific foundation needed to understand how modern cosmetics are designed, formulated, tested, manufactured, and brought safely to market.
Whether you're studying cosmetic science, entering formulation, or working around product development and regulatory compliance, this textbook helps you move beyond ingredient lists and understand why formulations work—and why they fail.
Inside, you'll learn to:

• Master skin, hair, and nail biology, including barrier function, TEWL, aging, hair structure, scalp science, and product interactions.
• Understand cosmetic chemistry, including polarity, pH, solubility, surface tension, rheology, emulsions, suspensions, and colloids.
• Evaluate major ingredient classes, from emollients and surfactants to preservatives, antioxidants, retinoids, peptides, exfoliating acids, UV filters, fragrance, and colorants.
• Follow the complete formulation process, from concept brief and bench prototype through testing, reformulation, pilot-scale production, and commercial manufacturing.
• Explore skincare, haircare, personal care, and color cosmetic technology with practical explanations of how different product formats are engineered.
• Understand safety and regulatory science, including quality assurance, GMP, claims substantiation, and major international regulatory frameworks.
• Learn through chapter summaries, technical tables, reference appendices, and black-and-white instructional diagrams.

Organized into 16 comprehensive chapters, this book builds from first principles and requires no previous cosmetic-science coursework.
