Cosmetics Science and Technology - 2nd Ed, 3 Volumes Set   (Special Indian Reprint)

By Balsam Sagarin  


Cosmetics: Science and Technology
 has many predecessors and among its contemporaries does not pretend to preempt the field. The burgeoning of a science of cosmetics, a technology of cosmetics, without the abandonment of what must in part remain a craft, a skill, and an art, brought forth several excellent books in various languages, which sought to summarize the state of the knowledge. Among these Cosmetics: Science and Technology, published for the firsttime in 1957, was unique in that it was a cooperative effort of sixtyone authors, almost all of whom were employed by firms manufacturing the products described. In this aspect lies both the potential strength and possible hazard of such an undertaking. 
 
Volume one
 contains descriptive material on the manufacture and formulation of fifteen different products and classes of products. These are, in the order of appearance in that book, the following:
cleansing creams and lotions,
emollient creams and lotions,
hormone creams,
baby toiletries,
hand creams and lotions,
skin lighteners and bleach creams,
suntan preparations,
beauty masks,
foundation makeup,
face powders,

Volume two
contains descriptive material on the manufacture and formulation of an additional eighteen products and classes of products.
These are, in the order of appearance in that book, the following:
shaving preparations,
preshave and aftershave preparations,
depilatories,
shampoos,
hair-grooming preparations,
permanent waving products,

Volume three
contents chapters on the physiology of the skin and hair, the physiology of sweat, the use of colors in cosmetics, problems of
quality control, preservation and psychological testing, historical information, legal information: in short, all that the editors deem important on the
subject described in our title, Cosmetics: Science and Technology, other than the manufacture and formulation of the individual products, as covered in the first two volumes.
