With an increasing number of cosmetic products aimed at special target audiences and gaining importance with consumers, the need for innovation and creative thinking to address the cosmetic industry's challenges has never been more apparent. <p>Designed as an educational and training resource at both the fundamental and practical levels, this book provides a clear and easily understandable review of cosmetics and over-the-counter (OTC) drug-cosmetic products.
