AB  - The  modern  cosmetic  and  skin  care  product  market  began  to  take  shape  in  1915  amidst  the  intense  rivalry  between  the  burgeoning  cosmetics  entrepreneurs  Helena  Rubinstein  and  Elizabeth  Arden,  both  of  whom  opened  salons  that  year  that  would  grow  into  powerful  business  empires.  Since  that  period,  the  categories  “dry,”  “oily,”  “combination,”  and  “sensitive”  have  been  used  to  characterize  what  Helena  Rubinstein  identified  as  the  four  fundamental  skin  types.  While  these  designations  were  the  virtually  undisputed  standards  for  understanding  skin  type,  the  skin  care  product  and  cosmetics  markets  were  growing  exponentially,  evolving  into  an  innovative  multibillion  dollar  industry,  and  spawning  a  new  category  of  products  known  as  “cosmeceuticals,”  unregulated  cosmetic  formulations  that  may  impart  some  alteration  to  the  biologic  function  of  skin.  In  fact,  these  products  have  become  so  popular  that  relatively  recent  sales  figures  indicated  that  $6.4  billion  in  sales  of  skin  care  cosmeceuticals  were  projected  in  the  US  in  2004,  an  increase  of  7.3%  from  the  previous  year.1  Such  sales  expectations  have  since  been  exceeded,  as  by  spring  2006,  sales  of  cosmeceuticals  in  the  US  had  mushroomed  to  the  $12  billion  level.2
