Cosmetic science covers the fields from natural
sciences to human and social sciences, and is an important interdisciplinary
element in various scientific disciples. New Cosmetic Science
is a completely updated comprehensive review of its 35 year old
counterpart Cosmetic Science. New Cosmetic Science has been written
to give as many people as possible a better understanding of the
subject, from scientists and technologists specializing in cosmetic
research and manufacturing, to students of cosmetic science, and
people with a wide range of interests concerning cosmetics.
The relationship between the various disciplines comprising cosmetic
science, and cosmetics, is described in Part I. In addition to
discussing the safety of cosmetics, the "Usefulness of Cosmetics",
rapidly becoming an important theme, is described using research
examples. The latest findings on cosmetic stability are presented,
as are databases, books and magazines, increasingly used by cosmetic
scientists.
Part II deals with cosmetics from a usage viewpoint, including
skin care cosmetics, makeup cosmetics, hair care cosmetics, fragrances,
body cosmetics, and oral care cosmetics. Oral care cosmetics and
body cosmetics are presented with product performance, types,
main components, prescriptions and manufacturing methods described

This excellent volume enlightens the reader not only on current
cosmetics and usage, but indicates future progress enlarging the
beneficial effects of cosmetics. Products with better pharmaceutical
