DESCRIPTION :

Welcome to this novices guide. At last a book that explains the real science behind the cosmetics we use. Taking a gentle approach and a guided journey through the different product types, we discover that they are not as superficial as often thought and learn that there is some amazing science behind them. We shall uncover some of the truths behind the myths and point out some interesting facts on our way.

Did you know? Vitamin E is the worlds most used cosmetic active ingredient. At just 1mm thick, your amazing skin keeps out just about everything its exposed to including your products! A chemical soup of amino acids, urea, mineral salts and organic acids act as water magnets in the skin keeping it naturally moisturised. Discovered centuries ago, iron oxides (yes, the same chemicals as rust) are still commonly used inorganic pigments in foundations. A lipstick is a fine balance of waxes, oils and colourants to keep the stick stable and leave an even gloss on your lips.
