Product Description
Milady's Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary, third edition, is a multi-purpose resource for cosmetic professionals and consumers alike. Part one puts cosmetics in the context of skin care. It provides an overview of skin physiology. In order to understand how and why a product works it is essential to understand how the skin works. It gives an overview of the complexity of cosmetic chemistry particularly with respect to product penetration, and highlights the current challenges facing cosmetic formulators. In addition, it offers comprehensive discussion of the various skin types and conditions in order to help professionals in their product selection. Lastly, it defines common cosmetic industry terminology used by cosmetic manufacturers, professional estheticians, marketers and the media. The second part is dedicated to helping cosmetic users identify the function and purpose of specific ingredients. It is an alphabetical dictionary that lists and describes not only active principles but all other categories of ingredients that comprise a skin care cosmetic. As scientific knowledge of skin physiology and cosmetic chemistry advances, so do cosmetic products. This volume puts everything in context in an easy to read, easy to understand, user-friendly format.

4 out of 5 stars Milady's Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary by Natalia Michalun   March 1, 2009

I have found this book to be very helpful. The first part of the book is about the skin and really helps you understand what cosmetics and skin care can do for the skin. As for the description of the ingredients, some details feel skimmed over. But overall a very good resource.


5 out of 5 stars A must have !   January 30, 2009

This ingredient dictionary will help you in determining the ingredients in all your cosmetic products! You should own this if you're studying for the state exam and want to become an aesthetician.


5 out of 5 stars Very informative   August 31, 2008

A great book to have if you are interested in knowing what the product you are using has for ingredients. Great must have for the licensed esthetician.


4 out of 5 stars Pricey, but worth it.   April 30, 2008
C. Robertson (Lake Worth, Tx)
I ordered this book to help me in my esthetics class and it came in very handy. I did come across a couple of ingredients that were not in the book, but for the most part it was very helpful.

This is a very good dictionary to have on hand. I would recommend this book for everyone! It has a section in the front so that you under stand the skin, skin types & conditions, skin physiology, and product penetration. It has every ingredient for a-z. It is just a great, handy tool to have around to better help you and clients with the skin and products.
