Description

Discovering Cosmetic Science by Stephen Barton, Allan Eastham, Amanda Isom, Denise McIaverty and Yi Ling Soong is an in-depth exploration of the science behind cosmetics. This guide takes a gentle approach to understanding the different types of products, revealing that they are not as superficial as often thought. From the properties of skin to the composition of foundations, this book uncovers some surprising facts about the world of cosmetics. For example, did you know that vitamin E is one of the most widely used cosmetic active ingredients? The skin itself acts as a barrier, keeping out almost everything it's exposed to, including products. The science behind skincare and makeup is fascinating, and this book provides an interesting look at how these products work. The authors also explore other aspects of cosmetics, such as pigments and lipsticks, revealing the chemistry behind their composition and function. With its clear explanations and engaging approach, Discovering Cosmetic Science is a useful resource for anyone interested in understanding the science behind everyday products.
