Editorial Review:
The second edition of this thorough reference is an invaluable tool for assessing cosmetic products, addressing both the quality of the product and the effect it has on the skin. Since a product's ultimate purpose is to benefit the skin, it is crucial to have an understanding of how the skin works, how and why a product may or may not penetrate it, and what care individual skin types and conditions may require. It is difficult to discuss product ingredients without correlating product performance to skin function. An expanded section on skin physiology and chemical concepts enables the reader to better understand product performance through a thorough explanation of how chemicals and ingredients interact. The various skin types, conditions, and appropriate ingredients for treatments provide a quick reference to address clients' needs. This enlarged second edition contains over 2,000 ingredients including 200 new and updated entries. Expanded information on antioxidants and their stability, new discussion on aging and sensitive skin, and function of SPF and new sunblock ingredients offering full spectrum sunscreen and sunblock for both UVA and UVB rays has been added.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pricey, but worth it.
I ordered this book to help me in my esthetics class and it came in very handy. I did come across a couple of ingredients that were not in the book, but for the most part it was very helpful.
Rating:  - A great resource/helper
This is a very good dictionary to have on hand. I would recommend this book for everyone! It has a section in the front so that you under stand the skin, skin types & conditions, skin physiology, and product penetration. It has every ingredient for a-z. It is just a great, handy tool to have around to better help you and clients with the skin and products.
Rating:  - Out Dated Info
I found this book to be some what out dated. There were alot of ingredients that where not listed in this book and some our quite common when working with skin care products. It seemed to have some but not all of whats in your cosmetics so I did not find it to be very useful at all. Its on a shelf at home and not at work where it was intended to be.
Rating: - Overpriced
There was very little that I found in this book that I didn't find in other resources on the subject. It's way overpriced for what it delivers.
Rating: - Milady's Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary
In addition to listing many standard ingredients, this book also lists botanicals which are listed by their English name with other common names listed right after. And they are cross-referenced. A very good brief review of skin physiology, function, components, structures and layers along with product penetration and testing and skin types and conditions enhance the book. Great for newbies or experienced skin care professionals.
