Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The second edition of this thorough reference is an invaluable tool for assessing cosmetic products, addressing both the quality of the product and the effect it has on the skin. Since a product's ultimate purpose is to benefit the skin, it is crucial to have an understanding of how the skin works, how and why a product may or may not penetrate it, and what care individual skin types and conditions may require. It is difficult to discuss product ingredients without correlating product performance to skin function. An expanded section on skin physiology and chemical concepts enables the reader to better understand product performance through a thorough explanation of how chemicals and ingredients interact. The various skin types, conditions, and appropriate ingredients for treatments provide a quick reference to address clients' needs. This enlarged second edition contains over 2,000 ingredients including 200 new and updated entries. Expanded information on antioxidants and their stability, new discussion on aging and sensitive skin, and function of SPF and new sunblock ingredients offering full spectrum sunscreen and sunblock for both UVA and UVB rays has been added.

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.
