Special Issue Information
Dear colleague,
All of us need a tailor-made cosmetic product!
Individual physiology and its relative ability in responding to environmental stress are closely linked to our genes. Today throughout the genome analyses and the application of scientific tools we are able to characterize individual needs. The understanding of molecular mechanisms and the identification of interactions between raw materials and human body can lead to the formulation of customized products.
Such information is of fundamental importance to allow the formulator to use or exclude specific materials and develop cosmetics which can perform in a better way and satisfy the final customer.
Over the last few years, many new companies started their business focusing their attention on the development of tailor-made cosmetics, using different approaches from DNA analyses to skin and hair characterizations. Moreover, Big Data analytics, Quality by Design and marketing studies allowed to develop new commercialization methodologies.
This special issue aims to highlight this new trend and to support further discussions on personalized cosmetics among all the different actors involved.
Original research articles, reviews, industrial case and short communications are welcomed and encouraged.
Prof. Luca Casettari
Guest Editor
