R. M Gattefosse
R5,535 Discovery Miles 55 350 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

'As perfume is an art, it should be revealed to artists' was the passionate belief of the author, the renowned French cosmetic chemist R-M GattA(c)fosse, who coined the term 'aromatherapy' and was instrumental in its development. In this volume GattA(c)fosse set out to restore the fortunes of the French perfume industry after World War II by educating a new generation in the artistic principles of perfumery and cosmetology as well as in chemical and technical matters. He explains how to handle the raw materials of perfumes and cosmetics, gives the formulas for classic formulations like chypre, amber, vetivert and jasmine along with methods of preparation, and encourages readers to develop their own perfume formulas, aromatic creativity and 'nose'. In the second part of the work GattA(c)fosse presents cosmetology formulas for beauty creams, lotions, rouges, sun and sport creams, and hair and nail products. The great value of the work lies in the formulas it contains which have been largely forgotten today, and which can be recreated or interpreted with little difficulty. Intended as a resource for interested laymen and professional perfumers and cosmetologists, this is an inspirational text by the man who changed the nature and smell of modern cosmetics and perfumes.

Arun Nanda, Sanju Nanda, Tuan Anh Nguyen, Susai Rajendran, Yassine Slimani
R4,672 Discovery Miles 46 720 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Nanotechnology is key to the design and manufacture of the new generation of cosmetics. Nanotechnology can enhance the performance and properties of cosmetics, including colour, transparency, solubility, texture, and durability. Sunscreen products, such as UV nano-filters, nano-TiO2 and nano-ZnO particles, can offer an advantage over their traditional counterparts due to their broad UV-protection and non-cutaneous side effects. For perfumes, nano-droplets can be found in cosmetic products including Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. Nanomaterials can also be used in cosmetics as transdermal drug delivery systems. By using smart nanocontainers, active compounds such as vitamins, antioxidants, nutrients, and anti-inflammatory, anti-infective agents, can be delivered effectively. These smart nanocontainers are typically related with the smart releasing property for their embedded active substances. These smart releases could be obtained by using the smart coatings as their outer nano-shells. These nano-shells could prevent the direct contact between these active agents and the adjacent local environments. Nanocosmetics: Fundamentals, Applications and Toxicity explores the formulation design concepts and emerging applications of nanocosmetics. The book also focuses on the mitigation or prevention of their potential nanotoxicity, potential global regulatory challenges, and the technical challenges of mass implementation. It is an important reference source for materials scientists and pharmaceutical scientists looking to further their understanding of how nanotechnology is being used for the new generation of cosmetics.
