| Summary |
"Cosmetic Chemistry is a concise, readable review of the principles of cosmetic science. The author connects theory to real life examples, stories, and anecdotes, making key concepts and phenomena much easier to understand. Topics covered are product types in the market and how their properties emerge from the product's chemical components; physical phenomena, and (macro)molecular characteristics that play a key role in product development; and some of the technological, environmental, and safety challenges that field experts are searching for solutions. / Readers include anyone looking for a basic understanding of concepts involved in the development of cosmetics. Upon completion of this digital primer, a chemist will have a firm gasp of the scientific principles that underpin the functionality and aesthetic attributes of formulated compositions."-- Provided by publisher |
