Covers Everything you Need to Know About Skin—
From Head to Toe!

Skin care has and always will drive the personal care industry gravy train. The global market for skin care is valued at more than US$38 billion—$7 billion of that pie dominated by an ever-burgeoning antiaging market. The rate of growth for the skin care segment is more than 6% and is one of the fastest-growing segments in the entire industry.

In Skin Care: Theories & Applications, the reader will find the same expert authors who contribute to Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine, writing on topics they specialize in: cell adhesion, race and sensitization, thickeners, sun protection and more.

This reference covers a variety of topics to create a solid foundation of knowledge about the skin structure, ingredients testing, antiaging, cleansing and moisturization.

These building blocks are as important as the brick-and-mortar structure of the stratum corneum.

Authors include Ratan K. Chaudhuri; Charles Fox; Kenneth Klein; Howard I. Maibach, MD; Jean-Francois Nicolay; Anthony Rawlings, Luigi Rigano and Mamoru Tsuchida.

Whether you are formulating for mass-market products or prestige lines, Skin Care: Theories & Applications should be a key component of your research library.
