MONOGRAPHS ON COSMETIC SCIENCE
No. 1: Principles of Product Evaluation: Objective Sensory Methods
1987; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 66 pages; paperback booklet; £13.50
ISBN: 978-1870228-05-3
This monograph is intended as a laboratory aid to cosmetic scientists who require an overview of product evaluation. It is not intended to be a concise manual of all evaluation techniques, but rather to present a frame-work illustrated by examples, of the principles of product evaluation. The examples have been prepared for the non-statistician, non-expert to help them understand and use the techniques described.
No. 2: The Fundamentals of Stability Testing
1992; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 30 pages; paperback booklet; £9.00
ISBN: 978-1870228-06-0 (UK) and 978-0-9608752-5-2 (USA)
Monograph No. 2 deals with the practical rather than the theoretical aspects of stability tests on cosmetic products. It is intended to provide guidance for the chemist or technician in the laboratory. The subjects covered include: General introduction to stability testing; Objectives of stability testing; Principles of stability testing; Test conditions; Selection of samples; Examination of samples; and Shelf-life of product in sales pack.
No. 3: An Introduction to Rheology
by Denis Laba
1997; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 44 pages; paperback booklet; £11.00
ISBN: 978-1870228-16-9
The application of rheology, the study of flow, in many different industries has been steadily increasing. The IFSCC has recognized the need for a practical review of this discipline with cosmetic rheology in mind. It is hoped that by promoting a more widespread understanding of the principles of rheology, cosmetic science itself may be advanced.
No. 4: Introduction to Cosmetic Emulsions and Emulsification
by Martin Rieger
1997; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 70 pages; paperback booklet; £13.50
ISBN: 978-1870228-17-6
This monograph is designed to provide readers, especially those who have had only limited exposure to the scientific foundation of emulsification, with an understanding of the basic principles. It is the primary objective of this monograph to provide some insight into the intricacies of preparing cosmetic emulsions. The general coverage of this topic is broad, with minimal emphasis on the frequently complex details concerning emulsions.
No. 5: An Introduction to Cosmetic Microbiology
by Donald S. Orth
1999; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 68 pages; paperback booklet; £13.50
ISBN: 978-1870228-18-3
Topics discussed include: Microbial contamination; Plant sanitization; GMPs; Preservative systems; Preservative efficacy test methods; FD&C Act and regulations pertaining to cosmetics; Effects on skin physiology; Harmonization of test methods; Self-preserving cosmetic products.
No. 6: Antiperspirants and Deodorants: Principles of Underarm Technology
by Eric Abrutyn and John Wild
1998; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 76 pages; paperback booklet; £13.50
ISBN: 978-1870228-19-0
The technology and science associated with the development of safe, effective and cosmetically elegant antiperspirant and deodorant products have evolved rapidly over the past forty years. Advances in our understanding of aluminium and zirconium salt chemistry, the mechanism of action of agents in reducing perspiration, the microbiological efficacy of deodorant agents and claim support methodology, combined with the availability of new cosmetic raw materials and innovative formulation systems, have contributed to the developments described within this monograph.
No. 7: Microemulsions in Cosmetics
by Hideo Nakajima, edited by Janusz Jachowicz
2001; A5, 8.5" x 5.5"; 106 pages; paperback booklet; £20.00
ISBN: 978-1870228-20-6
This book should be of interest to cosmetic scientists, formulators and technologists whose work involves the development of new products or research into new raw materials and analytical methods. The monograph requires an elementary knowledge of physical chemistry in order to understand the scientific fundamentals of emulsions and microemulsions.
MONOGRAPHS ON ANALYTICAL COSMETIC SCIENCE
Cosmetic Raw Material Analysis and Quality Series
Hydrocarbons, Glycerides, Waxes, and Other Esters
Edited by Hilda Butler, written by IFSCC members
1994; A4, 8" x 11.5", 156 pages, Paperback, £25.00
ISBN: 978-1870228-11-4
Analytical chemistry has played an important role in the development of the cosmetics industry, and continue to do so. It is an essential aspect of quality control and product safety and has led to the discovery of new cosmetic ingredients. This volume summarizes the many technologies employed by both analytical experts and cosmetic scientists in general, for the analysis and quality assessment of certain cosmetic raw materials. Each volume is devoted to a specific group of raw materials and is divided into six or seven main divisions which deal with different aspects of the various raw material classes within the particular group.
The divisions in this volume (Volume 1) are: Natural Oils and Fats; Natural Waxes; Hydrocarbons; Fatty Acids; Fatty Alcohols; Synthetic Glycerides; Fatty Alcohol/Fatty Acid Esters; Fatty Alcohol/Organic Non Fatty Acid Esters; and Polyol/Fatty Acid Esters.
Analysis of Polymers for Cosmetics
by Janusz Jachowicz
2004; A4, 8" x 11.5", 308 pages, Paperback, £39.25
ISBN: 978-3-87846-244-6
The objective of this monograph is to review the methods of characterization and analysis of polymers used in cosmetic products. The book is not designed to provide an exhaustive, up-to-date analysis of the field, but rather to give cosmetic researchers a basic overview of the types of analysis carried out for new and established products. Each method is illustrated with one or two examples of analysis in order to demonstrate the basic capabilities of each technique.
