I have a copy of the book in my hand right now. Each chapter gives a bit of background about the topic talking about the history, the technology, and how things are made. Then the chapters end with a number of example formulas.

It’s a pretty good book and I reference it frequently. Some of the chapters are better than others but if you are looking for lots of example formulas this is a good book for that. If you are looking for more in-depth background information you would probably do better with Harry’s Cosmeticology. They just get more detailed but have far fewer example formulas.

@milliachemist - You can get the latest Harry’s book through Amazon. It’s not online as far as I know.

Perry, 44

Thanks a lot @Perry.

Another thing that I would like to ask you if I can still refer the first edition (1991) of it or it can be called partially obsolete now????

@milliachemist - the 1991 edition is still relevant. 80 - 85% of the information is still accurate. Not much changes in the cosmetic industry when it comes to technology.

Perry, harry’s cosmeticology 7th edition printed in 1982 is rated at 11176 INR.. Is that worth of investing this much sum ?

I’d hold out to get Harry’s 8th edition instead.
