Beauty Life


Our world is created with many beauties which we can see in nature, in human and all around. Women always looking for fantasy Beauty. We live with so much of desire and that is the woman nature to be beautiful. For this reason since we get up on morning until night we use skin care, hair care, cosmetic,… product. We wear jewelry and most of girls like to have diamond ring before marriage! Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail and toe nail polish, eye and facial makeup, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays and gels, deodorants, baby products, bath oils, bubble baths, bath salts and many other types of products. A subset of cosmetics is called "make-up," which refers primarily to colored products intended to alter the user’s appearance. The cosmetics and personal care industry is one of the fastest emerging industries of today -- innovation and education is what it takes to stay at the forefront with every cosmetic product and personal care brand. Keep ahead of the market place with a quality education that moves with the trends and provides you with confidence to formulate and develop a variety of cosmetic and personal care products to suit individual needs. The use of cosmetics is not a modern phenomenon. Most of us – males and females – care about our appearance. So, nowadays, cosmetic is not only use by females. It will become necessaries of life in future!

There are some introduce below:


Cream (pharmaceutical)-
A cream is a topical preparation usually for application to the skin. A cream consists of two agents, oil and water, that combine to form an emulsion of oil (50%) in water (50%). This form helps the medication contained within to penetrate the stratum corneum, the horny outer layer of the skin.



Lotion-
Most lotions are oil-in-water emulsions using a substance such as cetearyl alcohol to keep the emulsion together, but water-in-oil lotions are also formulated. The key components of a skin care lotion, cream or gel emulsion (that is mixtures of oil and water) are the aqueous and oily phases, an emulgent to prevent separation of these two phases, and, if used, the drug substance or substances. A wide variety of other ingredients such as fragrances, glycerol, petroleum jelly, dyes, preservatives, proteins and stabilizing agents are commonly added to lotions.


Lipstick-
Lipstick contains a variety of waxes, oils, pigments, and emollients. The wax gives lipstick its shape and ease of application. Among the waxes are beeswax, a substance obtained from bee honeycombs that consists of esters of straight-chain monohydric alcohols with even-numbered carbon chains from C24 to C36 and straight-chain acids also having even numbers of carbon atoms up to C36. Other waxes include carnauba wax. The oils and fats used in lipstick include olive oil, mineral oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petrolatum.





Nail polish-
Nail polishes are made of nitrocellulose,a long-lasting, film-forming agent derived from cellulose Basic components included are: film forming agents, resins and plasticizers, solvents, and coloring agents. Adhesive polymers (e.g. tosylamide-formaldehyde resin) ensure the nitrocellulose adheres to the nail's surface. Plasticizers (e.g. camphor) are chemicals that link between polymer chains, spacing them to make the film sufficiently flexible after drying. Pigments and sparkling particles (e.g. mica) add desired color and reflecting characteristics. Thickening agents (e.g. stearalkonium hectorite) are added to maintain the sparkling particles in suspension while in the bottle. Nail polish ingredients often include toluene.
Nail polish makers are under pressure to reduce or eliminate toxic ingredients, including phthalates, toluene, and formaldehyde. Water-based nail polish is based on an acrylic polymer emulsion (e.g. styrene-acrylate copolymer).



Powder-
Powder is frequently added to other agents to make shake lotions and pastes. A common powder prescribed by dermatologist is zinc oxide. Powders should never be applied to skin creases when the skin is “weeping” as clumps may form that rub and irritate the skin, making the condition worse. It is uses to decreases friction on skin-to-skin surfaces and promotes drying of sweaty and oozing lesions.

Hair spray-
The solvent component is carbon, fluorine, and chlorine (CFC). CFCs are nontoxic, nonflammable, and make almost ideal aerosol propellants. One of the polymers used is polyvinylpyrrolidone, which is also used to glue the layers of wood in plywood together. A non-water soluble polymer called polydimethylsiloxane is added to make the hold last a bit longer (the polyvinylpyrrolidine is water soluble). Other polymers used in plastic-based hairsprays are copolymers with vinyl acetate and copolymers with maleic anhydride.Some hair sprays use natural polymers and solvents like vegetable gums dissolved in alcohol.




Contact Lens Solution-
There are come in two types, peroxide and multipurpose solutions. Both contain cleaners, such as bisphosphonate compounds, to break down proteins adhering to lenses or surfactants, such as block copolymers, to interfere with the protein-lens interactions. The solutions also typically contain moisturizing or conditioning agents such as cellulose, propylene glycol, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone.




Power of make up!
