Expert Reviews

"I found that David Steinberg's Preservatives for Cosmetics was a useful reference because it presented a great deal of information on preservatives in succinct, easy-to-understand text and tables. Besides updating preservative material in the second edition, Mr. Steinberg's inclusion of personal experiences and insights brings the subject to life and helps the reader understand the interplay between scientific and regulatory issues."

—Don Orth, PhD
World-renown Microbiologist

"I fully support this effort to update the monograph on the general subject on preservatives. It is vital that formulators and regulators learn about these substances. This book should be a welcome reference work for all participants in the cosmetic industry."

—Martin Rieger, PhD
Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine contributor

David Steinberg has taken great care to ensure that this volume is an excellent read. It is well indexed, and so functions as a ready reference manual. The author's sense of humor is allowed to come through without diminishing from his scholarship. Highly recommended!
