About the Book:
Cosmetic technology is a branch
dealing with the advancements occurred in the field of cosmetics to enable and
enhance the effect of cosmaceutical in skin. Our book is an attempt to bring in
flow all the major attributes dealing with the preparation and evaluation of
cosmetic, parameters considered while dealing with quality aspects of cosmetic
finished products, toxicity assessment and other considering factors. The book
also summarizes the use of herbal drugs in cosmetic preparations. The approach
to use herbal drugs and their ingredients constantly needs revision. In the
book we have tried to bring some new herbal cosmetic preparative formulae for
easy formulating of a formulation. Through this, an attempt has been made to
re-discover the potentials of several herbs that have been utilized in our
day-today life.
Moreover, with the practical point of
view, this book also covers a generalized concept regarding different
instruments being used in cosmetic lab. We have tried to make the students
aware of the simplicity of working of these instruments and their principle of
their working too.
At last, the book
unravels various aspects of cosmetic technology needing attention. We hope that
the book will prove beneficial for readers. |
