Surfactants in Cosmetics

by Martin Rieger (Editor)

Overview

""Second Edition provides a thorough, up-to-date treatment of the fundamental behavior of surface active agents in solutions, their interaction with biological structures from proteins and membranes to the stratum corneum and epidermis, and their performance in formulations such as shampoos, dentifrice, aerosols, and skin cleansers.

Editorial Reviews

The second edition of the well known encylopaedic volume...is a significant expansion on the topic and should be viewed as a second volume to the first edition, since it covers new and different aspects without repeating the still-valid scientific information. The book is again very well organized in a clear and logical succession of chapters by almost all new authors....The chapters are well written...an excellent reference text for researchers and graduate students in the broad range of the field of cosmetic science.

Deals with the behavior of surface active agents in solutions, their interaction with biological structures, and their performance in formulations such as shampoos, dentrifice, aerosols, and skin cleansers. Explores the physical chemistry of surfactants, emphasizing their behavior in aqueous systems, describes techniques for preparation and analysis of surfactants, and examines applications for emulsification, solubilization, conditioning, and cleansing in cosmetic products. This second edition reflects the search for milder surfactants, and offers an update on INCI names and designations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
