Industrial examples of cosmetics and personal care formulations

15 Industrial examples of cosmetics and personal care formulations 

A useful text that gives many examples of commercial cosmetic formulations has been published by Polo [44] to which the reader should refer for any detailed information. Only a summary of some personal care and cosmetic formulations is given below, illustrating the use of surfactants. As far as possible, a qualitative description of the role of the surfactants is given. For more fundamental information, the reader should refer to the chapters on emulsions and suspensions.
