Additional A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients Information
|
The fifth edition of this classic guide, first published in 1978, continues the tradition of being the most up-to-date, complete, and trusted reference for taking the guesswork out of choosing safe and effective cosmetics and toiletries.
The more than 6,000 entries include 1,400 newly developed chemicals (along with hundreds more whose names have been changed by the manufacturers since the last edition of this book was published in 1994). Virtually every chemical found in toiletries and cosmetics, from body and face creams to toothpaste, hand lotion, shaving cream, shampoo, soap, perfume, and makeup, is evaluated, including those ingredients marketed as being all natural, for children, and for people of color. The book's alphabetical arrangement makes it easy to look up the ingredients in the products you use.With more substances than ever in products we use every day--and with the continuing deregulation of the cosmetics industry--this book is more indispensable than ever.

What Customers Say About A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients:
|
|
Overall I was disappointed. I was expecting more information under many ingredients and less opinions from the author. The Milady's version is much better.
The information will help you make informed decisions about your personal care purchases. You can find any ingredient possible that is in your cosmetics and personal care products.
I'm more interested in natural ingredients so I want more details concerning it. She didn't say whether it was toxic or nontoxic; irritating or nonirritating or maybe she doesn't have enough information about it. This book is good. It does provide the basic and some detailed information you need to make an informed decision regarding a product but one thing I was dissatisfied with was that regarding shea butter she may have been afraid to comment whether good or bad because of the popularity of this particular ingredient.
Don't waste your money. Spend a lot of time just to find the word since it keeps referring to smth else. Miladys is more expensive but MUCH MUCH better. I think it is dated, the info is old and not enough of it. Keeps referring to the next definition.
If you want to find out what is in your cosmetics then this is the book.
