Read a review by Dr. Trevor G. Blease, Applications Expert, Uniqema UK

I found that David Steinberg's Preservatives for Cosmetics was a useful reference because it presented a great deal of information on preservatives in succinct, easy-to-understand text and tables. Besides updating preservative material in the second edition, Mr. Steinberg's inclusion of personal experiences and insights brings the subject to life and helps the reader understand the interplay between scientific and regulatory issues.
-Don Orth, PhD, world-renown microbiologist

I fully support this effort to update the monograph on the general subject on preservatives. It is vital that formulators and regulators learn about these substances. This book should be a welcome reference work for all participants in the cosmetic industry.
-Martin Rieger PhD,C&T contributor

This book sheds light on a complex and ever-changing topic of interest to all cosmetic chemists. Drawing on his many years of experience, David has put together a book that is as well-written for the beginner as it is for the well-seasoned formulator. One can pick out small sections of immediate interest or read in more depth for a broader understanding. A number of relatively new concepts like water activity and Period after Opening are covered. Book is timely, pointed and on track. A great addition to your bookshelf.
