The first edition of this work was written by W.A. Poucher in 1923.
His aim was to produce a comprehensive coverage of products giving
simple background theories with basic formulations and their
methods of manufacture. This new edition follows in this tradition
and maintains the simplicity of approach aimed at students or
specialists in one discipline, with some knowledge of science, who
need an introduction to cosmetic science and technology. In the 17
years since the publication of the last edition, cosmetic science
has developed to such an extent that men and women working in
research and the industry, specialize in different disciplines and
selected product categories, therefore each chapter has been
written by specialist authors. Part 1 deals with products in
alphabetical order, following previous editions. In the respective
chapters, an outline of the biology and function of the skin and
its appendages, ie hair, teeth and nails, is given, followed by
descriptions of the needs for products, their formulation and
manufacture. In Part 2 there are seven chapters covering the
knowledge required and the procedures to follow when marketing
cosmetics. They are analytical methods, efficacy testing, emulsion
theory, microbial control, legislation, safety and stability. Part
3 contains three chapters covering historical background, the
perfuming of products and lastly the psychology of fragrance. This
book provides a basic knowledge of "cosmetics" - a word which
covers any product used to cleanse, protect or adorn the human
body. It aims to serve as a valuable introduction and source of
reference for all those involved in the cosmetics and toiletries
industry, including suppliers of raw materials, manufacturers of
finished products, R&D laboratories in industry and educational
institutions as well as beauty clinics and schools.
