The Cosmetic Chemistry for Cosmetologists and Dermatologists book series was produced in response to the requests of many specialists who work with skin for a comprehensive set of books that offer in-depth insight into the possibilities of maintaining its health and youthfulness with the help of cosmetic products. The books introduce the cosmetic “kitchen” and explain how modern cosmetic products are developed and manufactured.
Particular attention is paid to cosmetic ingredients:
· Why and how are they included in cosmetic formulations?
· How do they influence the appearance and properties of the finished product?
· How do they interact with the skin?
· How safe are they?
· How long do they retain their activity?
Expert science-based answers to these and other questions will help readers — whether they are specialists working with patients or consumers — make informed decisions when selecting and applying cosmetic products.
