Surfactants in Personal Care Products and Decorative Cosmetics
Third edition
edited by Linda D. Rhein

Surfactants in Personal Care Products and Decorative Cosmetics, Third edition presents a scientific basis in surfactant science and recent advances in the industry necessary for understanding, formulating, and testing surfactant-based cosmetics and cosmeceuticals.

This book details the function of emulsions, microemulsions, micelles, and nanostructures in the formulation of personal care products and decorative cosmetics and examines their ability to deliver specific benefits to the skin.

Surfactants in Personal Care Products and Decorative Cosmetics, Third edition helps formulators identify and overcome the challenges involved in developing new applications and enhancing the benefits of cosmetic and cosmeceutical products.

Features:

• Examines the use of surfactants in personal care products, from basic science to consumer applications
• Details fundamentals of surfactants in emulsions, microemulsions, micelles, and nanostructures
• Includes new research on skin functions, including lipid assembly, lipid organization, and barrier function
• Presents improved analytical techniques for assessing cosmetic benefit claims, including noninvasive measurement techniques and the use of in vitro living skin equivalents
• Considers methods for gathering consumer input and different types of consumer testing
• Discusses formulation strategies for optimizing cosmetic and cosmeceutical benefits with the aid of surfactants
• Contains full chapters on assessing the effectiveness of UV sunscreens and self-tanners
