Cosmetic Science and Technology: Theoretical Principles and Applications

Cosmetic Science and Technology: Theoretical Principles and Applications covers the fundamental aspects of cosmetic science that are necessary to understand material development, formulation, and the dermatological effects that result from the use of these products. The book fulfills this role by offering a comprehensive view of cosmetic science and technology, including environmental and dermatological concerns.

As the cosmetics field quickly applies cutting-edge research to high value commercial products that have a large impact in our lives and on the world's economy, this book is an indispensable source of information that is ideal for experienced researchers and scientists, as well as non-scientists who want to learn more about this topic on an introductory level.

• Covers the science, preparation, function, and interaction of cosmetic products with skin
• Addresses safety and environmental concerns related to cosmetics and their use
• Provides a graphical summary with short introductory explanation for each topic
• Relates product type performance to its main components
• Describes manufacturing methods of oral care cosmetics and body cosmetics in a systematic manner

Howard Maibach is a Professor at the Department of Dermatology at UCSF, USA. He is an expert in contact and occupational dermatitis and sees patients at the Environmental Dermatosis Clinic, which is part of the Dermatology Clinic. His specialty is dermatotoxicology, or skin exposure toxicity; allergies and skin disorders; and dermatopharmacology or the study of medications for skin disorders. Maibach has been on the editorial board of more than 30 scientific journals and is a member of 19 professional societies including the American Academy of Dermatology, San Francisco Dermatological Society, and the Internal Commission on Occupation Health.

His current research programs include defining the chemical-biologic faces of irritant dermatitis and the study of percutaneous penetration. When Dr Maibach is not in the lab conducting research or in the classroom teaching, he is seeing patients at the Environmental Dermatoses Clinic (of the Dermatology Clinic), mostly providing second opinions on allergic contact dermatitis.

Yuji Yamashita is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Chiba Institute of Science (CIS), Japan. He received his Ph.D. in natural science from Bayreuth University, Germany, in 2005, plus an M. S. and B. S. from Yokohama National University, Japan. After several years of research work on the thermotropic liquid crystals

in industry laboratory at Chisso Petrochemical Co., Japan, he began to study dermatology, especially transdermal drug delivery system, as a post-doc at St. Marianna University, Japan. Since October 2011, he has been engaged in teaching and research concerning cosmetic science as an assistant professor at Chiba Institute of Science, Japan. The area of his expertise is the

surfactant science such as phase behavior and self-assembly which is related to formulation technology.
