Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Cosmetic Science publishes research on the properties and applications of cosmetic ingredients and products. Studies investigate the efficacy of polymers for skin tightening, the sand resistance of sunscreens, and the mechanical properties of hair. The journal also explores the role of surfactants in skin penetration and irritation, the use of nanocapsules for active ingredient delivery, and the antioxidant and photoprotective effects of natural extracts. Research extends to the impact of hair color on luster, the development of photographic scales for wrinkle assessment, and the effects of cosmetic ingredients like glycolic acid and chitosans on skin properties.
