Formulating, Packaging, and Marketing of Natural Cosmetic Products
edited by Nava Dayan

Formulating, Packaging, and Marketing of Natural Cosmetic Products provides basic tools and concepts to develop naturally derived formulas. It contains balanced coverage of natural cosmetics, and what it really means to be "green"

Many misconceptions about natural products—for instance, what "green" and "organic" really mean—continue to exist within the industry. Formulating, Packaging, and Marketing of Natural Cosmetic Products addresses this confusion head-on, exploring and detailing the sources, processing, safety, efficacy, stability, and formulation aspects of natural compounds in cosmetic and personal care products.

The book covers timely issues such as:

• biodegradable packaging and the potential microbial risks they present
• the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to identify biomarkers
• chromatographic methods of analyzing natural products
