William Andrew: Applied Science Publishers

This new series of books is intended for scientists, engineers, technicians, business managers, and marketing personnel. It focuses on the technologies used in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries and highlights the value of technology transfer between them. The intention of the series is to mentor, educate, and act as a catalyst for the generation of new ideas and applications yet to come. The books will cover technology, formulations, ingredients, labeling, manufacturing, equipment, processing, and packaging. They will balance the practical and theoretical with a clear emphasis on the practical. The range of books topics will include, but not be limited to: fundamental and practical aspects of delivery systems, bioengineering, and fermentation processes, biocides, and emulsifying agents. It will also include surface and interfacial science and technology, naturals and botanicals, fragrances, cosmeceuticals, and legal/regulatory and testing topics.

The first book in the series is the seminal Delivery System Handbook for Personal Care and Cosmetic Products. This 1,100 page reference has been called “the most ambitious publishing project seen in the cosmetics industry.”  It is a showcase for understanding, using and marketing the technology of why and how delivery systems work as well as current, emerging/potential applications and working formulations.

The second book in the series is Global Regulatory Issues for the Cosmetics Industry, Volume 1.  This is the first of many volumes that will follow the results of the annual HBA International Regulatory Summit.

The Personal Care and Cosmetic Technologies series editor is Meyer R. Rosen, President of Interactive Consulting, Inc. and Chief Scientific Advisor for HBA Global Expo.
