Cosmetic Chemistry is a concise, readable review of the principles of cosmetic science. The author connects theory to real life examples, stories, and anecdotes, making key concepts and phenomena much easier to understand. Topics covered are product types in the market and how their properties emerge from the product’s chemical components; physical phenomena, and (macro)molecular characteristics that play a key role in product development; and some of the technological, environmental, and safety challenges that field experts are searching for solutions.

 

Readers include anyone looking for a basic understanding of concepts involved in the development of cosmetics. Upon completion of this digital primer, a chemist will have a firm grasp of the scientific principles that underpin the functionality and aesthetic attributes of formulated compositions.

Reviewer quotes
Dr. Satu Häkkinen, University of Minnesota
The content has provided me with new knowledge that is generally accumulated slowly throughout years working in this field, but that is rarely described in basic textbooks.
Dr. Ge Mu, Mississippi State University
I definitely will use the book.
Author Info
Robert Lochhead
Robert Lochhead’s career in chemistry spans from 1962 until the present time. Following a quarter of a century in industrial research and development, he transferred to academia to chair and direct a prominent polymer science and performance materials department. His industrial career included a background in surface science and polymer science and scale-up and applications research. A big part of Dr. Lochhead’s life has revolved around scientists’ education, as is evident from his mentee, who won the IFSCC Maison G. de Navarre Young Scientist Award in London in 1988, and the 18 national best paper awards won by his students and the prominent positions that his alums hold in the industry. Lochhead is the editor of three books, the author of more than a hundred scientific papers and reviews, and a named inventor on 22 patents. The polymers he invented have enabled new and better technologies with beneficial societal and environmental impact. Dr. Lochhead has received many awards, including: (1) Maison G. DeNavarre medal (the highest honor in the Arts and Science of Cosmetics); (2) Merit Award and Lifetime Service Award (Society of Cosmetic Chemists); (3) Chemical Pioneer Award (American Institute of Chemists); (4) Education Award from the Society of Plastics Engineers; (5) Fellow of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, the International Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Dr. Lochhead serves on the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) committee, and he has served twice as the President of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists and President of the International Association of Formulation Chemists.
