Dedicated to the advancement of cosmetic science INFORMATION FOR JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE AUTHORS The JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE publishes papers concerned with cosmetics or the sciences underlying cosmetics, as well as other papers of interest to SCC members. In particular, the JOURNAL welcomes papers concerned with cosmetics, cosmetic products, fragrances, their formulation and their effects in skin care or in overall consumer well-being, as well as papers relating to the sciences underlying cosmetics, such as human skin physiology, color physics, physical chemistry of colloids and emulsions, or psychological effects of olfaction in humans. Papers of interest to the cosmetic industry and to the understanding of the cosmetic markets are also welcome for publication. The Editor relies on the advice of reviewers who are experts in the field in deciding whether a submission has sufficient scientific merit to warrant publication. All papers presented before a meeting or seminar of the SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS, or those papers submitted directly to the Editor will be considered for publication in the JOURNAL. Papers presented before the SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS are the property of the SOCIETY and may not be published in or submitted to other journals. Only if the JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE is unable to publish a presented paper, may it be published in another journal of the author's choice. Results concerning animal (not human) physiology are outside of the scope of the JOURNAL, therefore manuscripts reporting results related to it will not be taken into consideration for publication in the JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE. Papers reporting on the anti-oxidant properties of botanical extracts should show that the anti-oxidant activity is due to a scavenging activity, and not to the artifactual protection of the experimental target of the pro-oxidant because of the addition of excess target for that pro-oxidant. Papers should also describe an effect of the botanical extract on some clinical endpoints (whitening, roughness, redness, etc) with human volunteers. Papers that do not meet these two criteria will not be taken into consideration for publication in the JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE. All published papers are eligible for the following awards: ALLAN B. BLACK AWARD The Allan B. Black Award is presented in December to the author(s) of the Best Paper on Make-Up Technology published in the JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE or presented at the preceding Annual Meeting. The award consists of a scroll and honorarium to be shared among all authors if applicable. There are no Honorable Mentions for this award. The Committee can recommend that no award be given in any year. This shall in no way affect future selections or the size of the award in future years.
