Description

Milady�s Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary, 4th Edition is more than just a dictionary of cosmetic ingredients; it is a guide to understanding skin types and skin physiology, product formulation and how cosmetic products interact with the skin. For ease of use, this book is split into three parts. Part 1 includes a basic explanation of skin anatomy and physiology, including skin types, conditions and problems. This knowledge is critical for understanding product performance. Definitions of common terms used in skin care formulation are also provided. Part 2 contains an alphabetical listing of more than 2,300 cosmetic ingredients with accompanying definitions that help identify the function and purpose of each ingredient with Part 3 offering a reference of Botanical Latin names for commonly used ingredients. This is an invaluable resource that will assist in making well-informed decisions regarding skin care ingredients and cosmetic products. Read more

  • A must!
We use this book in my esthetics class and I HAD to get a copy for myself. I love being able to easily reference ingredients in my skincare products. This book also helps me determine which ingredients could be irritating my skin, which is a huge help considering how many new products I'm always trying. This book makes it so easy to have a basic grasp of common skincare ingredients, I couldn't recommend it enough. ... show more

  • Must Have
I am a esthetic student and this book is a must have. It has definitions, Fitzpatrick scale, and really compact. I would definitely recommend this book to students or people who are interested in skincare and product use.

  • Super helpful
This book has been super helpful. I’m a licensed esthetician so I’m very picky about the ingredients I use in my skin. This book is helpful for when I come across a product with an ingredient in it that I’m not familiar with. It also comes in handy when my clients bring in their crappy skincare and I’m able to show to them what the ingredients are that they’ve been putting on their skin 🙂 ... show more
