Summary: The Handbook of Cosmetic Science & Technology has been produced as a comprehensive foundation covering all aspects of this important discipline. It is unique in that it includes sections on quality assurance, total quality management and the ISO 9001 regulations. Also, the Handbook will be of benefit to technical and non-technical people alike - as a standard reference tool or an introduction to the science and technology involved.
