Preface
Both editors of this book are analytical chemists who have been working together for more
than eight years on the development and validation of analytical methods for cosmetic
products, and particularly in the field of sunscreen products.
In this multi-author book, we would like to share our experience in this field with our
readers and give them advice, with the help of the other authors participating in this book,
on the choice, which is often difficult, of suitable analytical methods for production mon-
itoring and quality control of cosmetic products according to their composition.
To do this, we have tried to give the reader extensive and varied information on the
topic, so that the reader can gain insight into the aspects related to the world of cosmetics
from the viewpoint of Analytical Chemistry. We have divided the book into three parts.
