Welcome to Cosmetic Affairs. The everyday cosmetic product becomes more interesting when you look closely at its ingredients, structure, and path through manufacturing.

What we will explore

Our three journals approach that idea from different directions. Cosmetic Chemistry opens the formulation notebook. Manufacturing follows the work beyond the bench. Ingredients asks what a material name tells us, and what context is still missing.

The News desk connects those conversations with explainers, reading lists, and editorial notes. Regulatory Updates keeps selected official developments beside their jurisdiction, document status, source dates, and original documents.

A way into the journal

Start with the emulsion interface, follow a bench-to-batch handoff, or take a closer look at ingredient lists. Each offers a different way to ask what is known, what was observed, and what a source actually supports.

Articles carry a publication or author credit and distinguish their publication date from substantive updates. Our editorial policy explains source use, reviewer attribution, and corrections.
