[资源] INTRODUCTION TO COSMETIC FORMULATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Cosmetics and personal care products have played an essential role in our lives for
thousands of years. Today, an increasing number of products are aimed at special
target audiences and gain importance in groups that have not received as much
attention in the past. Innovation, creative thinking, and problem solving are essential
skills needed in the cosmetic industry. However, the most important skill of all
is a strong foundation and basic understanding of the main principles. Cosmetic
science is a delicate blend of a variety of knowledge, including chemistry, biology,
formulation science, pharmacology, marketing, and law. Until now, these knowledge
bases were presented in separate books written for specific professional audiences.
Non-professionals were often left with no options to find a single, comprehensive
source containing all the information they need.
This book seeks to bridge the gap between basic science books and the highly
advanced published literature and is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference
for the field of cosmetic science. It covers all the major aspects of cosmetic formu-
lation and technology at both fundamental and practical levels. In this regard, this
book aims at broadening the readers’ knowledge and introduces them to the intrigu-
ing world of cosmetics and personal care products. It is designed to provide a basic
understanding of cosmetics and personal care products, including their regulation,
main characteristics, ingredients, formulation, testing, and packaging, with the pri-
mary focus on the products available in the United States.
This book is divided into seven chapters. The first two chapters are concerned
with general concepts and basic definitions and include an overview of the current
legislation covering cosmetics and drugs in the United States. The next five chapters
discuss the various types of color cosmetics and personal care products. The most
beneficial way to discuss products used in our everyday lives is by application sur-
face and function. This book is organized in such a manner. Chapter 3 focuses on the
various types of skin care products, including skin cleansing products, skin moisturiz-
ing products, products for special skin concerns, such as aging and acne, sunscreens,
as well deodorants and antiperspirants. Chapter 4 relates to makeup products for the
lips, eyes, face, and nails. Chapter 5 discusses various products applied to the hair,
including hair cleansing products and conditioners, hair styling products, and hair
coloring products. Chapter 6 provides an overview of dental and oral care products,
including toothpaste and mouthwash. Finally, Chapter 7 discusses smaller, but sig-
nificant, product categories, including hair removal products, sunless tanners, baby
products, and feminine hygiene products.
Each of these five chapters focusing on various products follows the same struc-
ture and includes an overview of the structure and function of the relevant application
surfaces; basic principles relevant to the chapter; types and definition of various prod-
ucts related to the chapter; history of product use; how the products may affect the
application surfaces; required qualities and characteristics of products and consumer
needs; an overview of the main ingredients, characteristics, and formulation of the
products; typical quality problems related to the formulation and/or use of products;
product testing and, finally, packaging.
Each chapter of this textbook features a unique structure to enhance the readers’
experience and facilitate the learning process. At the beginning of each section is a
list of learning objectives telling the readers what important information they will be
expected to know after reading and studying the chapter. The terms they will need
to know in each section are also provided at the beginning of the section in a box.
Throughout the text, brief “Did you know?” paragraphs draw attention to interesting
information that will enhance the understanding of the material in the text. FYI (For
Your Information) boxes direct readers to a particular website or other resource for
further information. Each section ends with questions designed to test the readers’
understanding of the section’s information. The answers to these review questions
can be found at the end of the book. All key terms and their definitions are included
in a glossary of terms at the end of each section.
The wide variety of topics found in this book should benefit a large audience
interested in cosmetic science, including undergraduate students, graduate students,
researchers, students in beauty schools, and those concerned with regulation, sales,
and marketing of cosmetics and personal care products. The up-to-date and com-
prehensive content of this book may also be of interest to the non-specialist reader.
Finally, it is our hope that this book would serve as a standard textbook for cosmetic
science education.
