The first edition of this book rapidly established itself as a key reference for the industry, with contributions from experienced technologists in leading international companies. Organized on a product-category basis, it provides an up-to-date overview of the cosmetics and toiletries industry in a readily digestible form. Written from the point of view of a chemist, economic and market aspects are also discussed. Authors discuss the rationale of raw material selection, product formulation and performance, and safety and quality aspects. Regulatory issues are considered from a worldwide perspective. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes new chapters on personal wash and cleaning products, and on antiperspirants and deodorants. This book is for chemists and engineers, especially those new to the industry or changing jobs within it.
