The Protective Function of Cosmetic Products
Today people find themselves exposed to environmental pollution caused by smog, increased radiation from sunlight, electromagnetic radiation, and pollutants in the water. The personal care industry has developed innovative products to protect the skin from harmful effects
of these pollutants. Some of these are able to trigger the body’s own defense system while others serve as protective shield. Another subject is the decontamination of strongly adhering substances from the skin. This book discusses the research results and solutions that have been offered. Sustainability is still playing a major role, when developing new products in the cosmetic industry. There are many ways to give consideration to this important issue when producing personal care products.
