j. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 43, 339 (November/December 1992) Book Review COSMETIC AND TOILETRY FOR- MULATIONS, 2nd Ed., Vol. 2, by Er- nest W. Flick. Noyes Publications, Park Ridge, NJ, 1992. 971 pages. Price: $130.00. This 971-page volume of formulations is divided into 17 sections vs 16 sections for the first edition. It contains more than 1,900 cosmetic and toiletry formulations vs more than 1,800 formulations for Vol- ume 1 (published in 1989), based on in- formation obtained from suppliers whose addresses are listed in the last section of the book. In most cases the formula source is pro- vided, and in many, but not all cases, a brief making procedure is described. Each formulation is identified by its end use. The formulations/making procedures sec- tions consist of 15 different product groupings: antiperspirants and deodor- ants, baby products, bath and shower products, beauty aids, creams, fragrances and perfumes, hair care products, lip- sticks, lotions, shampoos, shaving prod- ucts, soaps, suncare products, toothpastes, and miscellaneous. The lipsticks and toothpastes sections are not found in Vol- ume l, which contains the remaining sec- tions listed above and a section on insect repellants not found in Volume 2. Each section contains a large number of differ- ent types of formulations. For example, the shampoo section contains more than 100 different types of shampoo formulas. Although the formulations in Volume 2 do not duplicate any of those in Volume l, both volumes contain 12 of the same prod- uct groupings and therefore contain many related formulations. And even though subtle improvements have been made in many of these products in the market- place, the usefulness of the information in Volume 2 over that of Volume l, except for lipsticks and toothpastes, is question- able. To those beginning in cosmetic and toi- letry formulation, and who do not have access to Volume 1, this book could be exceedingly useful. Even those with sev- eral years experience who do not have ac- cess to Volume 1 will find it useful as a reference source. It offers convenience be- cause a single volume can now replace large file cabinets of supplier formula in- formation. The only drawbacks this book offers are the steep price and, in some cases, the rather limited information provided on making procedures. The price is only a drawback to those on a strict budget, but the limited making procedure information could present problems for the beginning cosmetics formulator, although certainly not for the experienced formulator. This second volume of Cosmetic and Toi- letry Formulations, 2nd Edition, can be a useful and valuable addition to the labora- tories of those involved in cosmetics for- mulation, provided they do not have ac- cess to Volume 1 of the same edition-- CLARENCE R.
