Discovering Cosmetic Science

Description:

Welcome to this ‘novice’s guide’. At last a book that explains the real science behind the cosmetics we use. Taking a gentle approach and a guided journey through the different product types, we discover that they are not as superficial as often thought and learn that there is some amazing science behind them. We shall uncover some of the truths behind the myths and point out some interesting facts on our way. Did you know? Vitamin E is the world’s most used cosmetic active ingredient. At just 1mm thick, your amazing skin keeps out just about everything it’s exposed to – including your products! A ‘chemical soup’ of amino acids, urea, mineral salts and organic acids act as ‘water magnets’ in the skin keeping it naturally moisturised. Discovered centuries ago, iron oxides (yes, the same chemicals as rust) are still commonly used inorganic pigments in foundations. A lipstick is a fine balance of waxes, oils and colourants to keep the stick stable and leave an even gloss on your lips.


Review

'The scope of this book is as wide as cosmetic science itself.'; 'It is a book that was written in a balanced way, one that caters for both scientists and for the general public.'; 'Consequently, the quality of Discovering Cosmetic Science is a result of the breadth of fields of expertise shared by all contributors.'; 'Discovering Cosmetic Science is current, relevant and scientifically accurate.'; 'The book's content is of practical relevance; in this book, the reader will not find obsolete information or impractical theories, but instead will find established scientific knowledge that is used daily by cosmetic scientists for creating cosmetic products.'

Read this on holiday, really enjoyed it! These kind of things can be hit and miss because some approach you as you are a child and others Einstein. However, this found a happy medium that provided informed and intelligent discussions to help your understanding. Found it really informative and interactive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE NATURAL SKINCARE FORMULATORS

l. · 13 April 2024

A must have for all those natural skincare formulators out there. Excellent book and learning curve. Definitely staying in my library.

Fabuloso para los aficionados

A. · 10 May 2025

Me parece un libro muy bien estructurado, con explicaciones muy claras para una persona que quiera aproximarse al mundo de la cosmética sin ser profesional ni tener conocimientos científicos en la materia. Es el comienzo perfecto para después avanzar o profundizar màs con libros como los de la Dra. Draelos o Baki. Establece como los cimientos sobre los que empezar a saber màs y hacia dónde: formulación o ingredientes y procedimientos.
