Polymers continue to show almost amazing versatility. We have
always known that polymers could be used for trinkets, toys and
dishes. Now, however, we are no longer surprised to encounter these
adaptable mate rials in almost every place we look. We find them in
our cars, tools, electronic devices, building materials, etc. The
use of polymeric mate rials in medicine is also well documented in
previous books by one of the Editors (Gebelein) and by others.
Likewise, the use of polymeric mate rials in pharmaceutical
applications, especially in controlled release systems, is also
well established. Nevertheless, the use of these ubiquitous
chemicals is far less ob vious in the field of cosmetics, although
modern cosmetic preparations rely heavily on polymers and this
trend is certain to increase. This book brings together much of the
basic information on polymers in cosmetics and compares this usage
with similar applications in pharmaceutical and medical
applications. Cosmetics, like medicine and pharmacy, dates back to
antiquity. We can find uses of perfumes, balms and ointments in
various old books, such as the Bible. For example, the use of
ointments and balms is noted more than thirty eight times, and
perfumes and related materials are cited at least twenty nine times
in the Bible."
