Organized on a product category basis, this book provides a review of, and introduction to, the cosmetics and toiletries industry in a readily digestible form. The point of view is that of the chemist, whilst extensive coverage of economic and market recognizes the importance of these constraints. Authors discuss the rationale of raw material selection, the formulation and development of products that meet the demands of an international market place, product performances, and safety and quality aspects. Regulatory issues are considered from a worldwide perspective. The editors (British and American) have assembled an international team of contributors all of whom have extensive experience from distinguished careers within the industry. This book is for chemists and engineers, especially those new to the industry.
