AB  - This  book  was  inspired  by  a  passion  for  skin  care,  science,  the  history  of  the  cosmeceutical  industry,  and  almost  two  decades  of  treating  patients  with  cosmeceutical  products.  Its  goal  is  to  help  the  reader  understand  the  history  of  cosmeceutical  ingredients,  the  science  behind  them,  as  well  as  the  challenges  of  using  them  in  a  skin  care  regimen,  and  learn  how  to  choose  what  type  of  ingredients  are  appropriate  for  various  Baumann  Skin  Types®.  This  book  is  meant  to  dispel  myths  and  misperceptions  about  what  certain  ingredients  can  and  cannot  do.  It  provides  an  unbiased,  brand-agnostic  approach  to  the  subject.  (I  work  for  almost  all  of  the  companies  and  I  do  not  have  my  own  skin  care  line.)  It  will  explain  the  various  studies  on  the  ingredients  and  provide  detailed  references  so  that  the  reader  can  go  back  and  read  the  original  study  if  they  have  doubts.  It  is  divided  into  sections  to  help  the  reader  classify  ingredients  in  a  simple  manner;  however,  some  ingredients  work  for  more  than  one  purpose.  For  this  reason,  we  have  provided  two  “Table  of  Contents”:  One  is  by  type  of  ingredient  such  as  cleanser,  moisturizer,  or  antiaging  agent,  and  the  second  is  in  alphabetical  order  by  ingredient.  As  I  am  a  dermatologist  and  not  a  formulator,  this  book  does  not  attempt  to  teach  you  how  to  formulate  skin  care  products,  but  instead  helps  you  know  what  ingredients  should  work  for  various  types  of  skin  and  why.  In  other  words,  we  provide  the  ingredients,  but  we  do  not  provide  the  recipe.  In  order  to  understand  how  this  book  came  about  and  the  passion  that  went  into  writing  it,  one  must  understand  the  history  of  my  career  as  a  cosmetic  dermatologist.
