Gail and Tina have done a wonderful job of combining a dictionary of cosmetic formulating terminology with actual explanations, examples and charts that will be helpful for anyone, especially beginners, learning how to formulate like a professional. This book explains absolutely everything that a formulator needs to know, and discusses the key principles that the School of Natural Skincare teaches in their classes. It can be read (probably more than once!) when it first arrives, and then kept close to your fingertips, possibly in your home or lab, as you continue to formulate.
