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.
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.
Manuscripts reporting results obtained with botanical extracts should describe the preparation and the
characterization of the extract so that other scientists can reproduce the preparation and the results.
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 criteria will not be taken into consideration for
publication in the Journal of Cosmetic Science.
All published papers are eligible for the following awards:
ALAN B. and JEANETTE BLACK AWARD
The Alan B. and Jeanette Black Award is presented in December to the author(s) of the Best Paper
on Sustainable Formulation 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.
