Karin Bombeli, Thomas Bombeli
Somerset Co, 2007
Recipes for Color Cosmetics
This is another excellent book from Karin Bombelli. I have all of her publications and this is by far the most comprehensive. I was a bit dismayed that many of the recipes were the same except for the coloration but for a novice cosmetic formulator or a home craftsperson, this would be excellent.
I am an award winning cosmetic formulator, and I teach others to make natural cosmetics and ...

Paula Begoun, Bryan Barron
Beginning Press, 2007
I'm impressed!
Wow! This book really stands out with its scientific references. How often do you find complete references including even the page numbers of the scientific journal, in a popular book? I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though cosmetics are not really my thing (I'm too lazy or "busy" to bother). Now I actually find myself using face creams and sunscreens. I used to think all cosmetic products ...

Cambridge University Press, 2007
One major by-product of the aging baby-boom generation is a surging interest in cosmetic surgery. Although procedures like facelifts and abdominoplasties (the 'tummy-tuck') are considered minimally invasive, the anesthetic protocols and regimens here are often overly complex and unnecessarily toxic. This reference will focus on all of the procedures that the anesthesiologist needs to be proficient in to adequately care for this group of ...

I liked this book since the ingredients are obtainable and the recipes are fairly simplistic. The recipes in another book I read were so complicated that I wasn't even interested to try them but not so with this book - these are possible to do without alot of time invested.
I also like the explanation of the attributes for the ingredients so if you want to substitute, you can look at the list ...

Allured Pub Corp, 2003
Required reading for the cosmetic chemist!
This book should be required reading for anyone involved in the scientific side of the cosmetics industry. I would've loved to have had this book when I first started out, and it certainly helped to fill in the gaps that I didn't have in my training as a cosmetic chemist. This book is very easy to read and the study guide is a helpful tool as well.
