The data represents selections from manufacturers' descriptions
made at no cost to, nor influence from, the makers or distributors
of these materials. Only the most recent formulas have been
included. It is believed that all of the trademarked raw materials
listed are currently available, which will be of interest to
readers concerned with raw material discontinuances. The 1996
market for cosmetic raw materials is estimated at $2 billion.
Each formulation in the book is identified by a description of
end use. The formulations include the following as available, in
the manufacturers' own words: a listing of each raw material
contained; the percent by weight of each raw material; suggested
formulation procedure; and the formula source, which is the company
or organization that supplied the formula.
Each formula is indexed in the section which is most applicable.
The reader seeking a formula for a specific end use should check
each section which could possibly apply. In addition there are two
other sections that will be helpful to the reader: Trade-Named Raw
Materials where each raw material is listed with a brief chemical
description, and the supplier's name. The final section contains
Suppliers' Addresses.
It should be noted that some formulations in the book are
translations. The manufacturer's exact wording has been used in
these cases. Occasionally different companies have listed the same
raw material differently; it is hoped that the reader will be able
to identify the same or similar raw materials by consulting the
Trade-Named Raw Materials section.
Section Titles are listed below. Parenthetic numbers indicate
the number of formulations per topic.
