Which class of ingredients is the second-largest to be used in the manufacture of cosmetics and personal care products? Polymers. Since they can be used for conditioning, film-formation, waterproofing, thickening, delivery, glossing and fixatives, it is not uncommon to find several polymers in a formulation intended for multifunctionality. Furthermore, the use of existing polymers in combination with other ingredients can yield a myriad of opportunities for the creation of cosmetically elegant products as-yet unknown.

Polymers: The Pathway to Versatile Technology brings together more than 30 papers published within the past four years on topics such as recent advances in biopolymers and biomedical materials, polymers as a delivery for sunscreens, and formulating with polymers. This dynamic compilation has been assembled to provide the personal care market with up-to-date, critical information on the importance, function and application of polymers in cosmetic products.
