The Skin Care Ingredient Handbook

Abstract

According to the author "Creating a cosmetic product is like creating a beautiful cake. The base of the cake may have functionality ingredients like moisturizing fillings and stabilizing fondant layers, as well as emulsifying ingredients like eggs to bind the flour to oils and liquids. Star ingredients like chocolate, marzipan, or fruits must be carefully added to the cake to preserve form and flavour, just like key actives in a skin care product.
