Preface This book is the result of a group of development scientists feeling that there was an urgent need for a reference work that would assist chemists in understanding the science involved in the development of new products. The approach is to inform in a way that allows and encourages the reader to develop his or her own creativity in working with marketing colleagues on the introduction of new products. Organised on a product category basis, emphasis is placed on formulation, selection of raw materials, and the technology of producing the products discussed. Performance considerations, safety, product liability and all aspects of quality are covered. Regulations governing the production and sale of cosmetic products internationally are described, and sources for updated information provided. Throughout the book, reference is made to consumer pressure and environmental issues - concerns which the development scientist and his or her marketing counterpart ignore at their own, and their employer's peril. In recent years, many cosmetic fragrances and toiletry products have been converted from aerosols to mechanically pressurised products or sprays, and these are described along with foam products such as hair conditioning mousses. The information set out in the following pages has been acquired by the hard work and enthusiasm of a number of international authors who hold senior positions within the industry and it has been my privilege to work with William H. Schmitt in bringing together their accumulated knowledge. Information presented is given in good faith and the greatest possible care has been taken to ensure that it is correct. No warranty can, however, be given on fitness for a particular use or freedom from patent infringement. All the information given is for consideration, study and verification. Tt is hoped that the book will inspire newcomers to progress within, and advance, the industry that has provided me with a livelihood and much enjoyment over many years. D.F.W.
