Reviews for Surfactants in Cosmetics

The second edition of the well known encylopaedic volume. . .is a significant expansion on the topic and should be viewed as a second volume to the first edition, since it covers new and different aspects without repeating the still-valid scientific information. The book is again very well organized in a clear and logical succession of chapters by almost all new authors.. . .The chapters are well written. . .an excellent reference text for researchers and graduate students in the broad range of the field of cosmetic science. ---Textile Research Journal
