Themed issue: Cosmetic Ingredients

Analytical themed issue on cosmetic ingredientsWe’re delighted to announce that submissions are open for a new themed issue Guest Edited by Professor Alberto Chisvert and Professor Amparo Salvador of the University of Valencia, Spain.

Cosmetic Ingredients: from the cosmetic to the human body and the environment

The aim and scope of this themed issue is to compile articles focused on useful analytical methods to determine cosmetic ingredients not only in cosmetic products but also in biological and environmental samples.

Nobody can doubt the increasing demand for cosmetic products.  They may not have as many health implications as pharmaceutical products or food, but are chemical products that are used daily on skin, hair, nails and teeth.

Find out more details on what will be covered and how you can submit to the issue
