    ---Cosmetics & Toiletries
    ". . .answers most of the questions which arise about our present knowledge of this complex and multidisciplinary subject. It should be of considerable use to cosmetic chemists and to research workers in this field and would not be out of place in medical libraries or on a dermatologist's bookshelf. "
