Botanicalsby Frank S., Sr. D'amelio
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Botanicals have become widely used in many beauty products and for the purpose of aromatherapy. Phytochemistry, the chemistry of plants, plant processes, and plant products is of great interest to those involved with both the medicinal and cosmetic properties of botanicals. This is the first reference to approach this popularly treated topic from a scientific point of view. It offers a clear, organized approach to plant constituents, properties, and cosmetic applications. The Botanical Phytocosmetic Desk Reference covers the most common folkloric use of botanicals and their various constituents. Providing an overview of the most important botanicals in use today, this reference will be of great use to phytochemists, cosmetic chemists, herbalists, and aromatherapists.
