Review

“The editors have taken a topic about which I am passionate and the contents list makes fascinating reading. For readers interested in the particular ingredients covered, there is interesting material and some good references to follow up for further study. In summary, this is a good read of a collection of writings, but not a full reference textbook.” — Lorna Bowes, Director, Aesthetic Source, UK, PMFA News, July 2017
