4.0 out of 5 stars a real handbook, January 18, 2008

By	G. F. Boaventura (Nova Igua�u, RJ, Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Every professional who works (or wishes to work) on R&D should carry this book wherever he goes! It contains just everything we need to know about cosmetic science and technology. And particularly it has a specific part of it dedicated to product testing and regulatory matters. Save yourself from a hundred of heavy and useless books just because 2 or 10 pages of them are important. Buy this one: it is almost complete and 'carriable'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The science behind the art, January 21, 2007

By	Barry Lycka "supporting Ethical Cosmetic Surgery" (Tallahasee, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For years, Doctor Howard Mauibach has been synononimous with quality. He continues the tradition of quality with this book.
