Cosmetic Affairs covers cosmetic ingredients, formulation, and manufacturing. We write for formulators, people working in production and quality, and readers who want to understand how cosmetics are made.
The site has three main sections. Cosmetic Chemistry covers formulation, stability, and texture. Manufacturing deals with production, packaging, and records. Ingredients looks at individual materials, their uses, and the research behind them.
We also publish news and regulatory updates, with links to the original documents and dates so you can check what applies to your work.
