Last Advances in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Analysis, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The use of cosmetics and personal care products is increasing worldwide. They are complex matrices formed by a broad range of chemical compounds including classical ingredients such as fragrances, preservatives, UV filters or dyes, among others. However, in recent years, there have been movements towards including other additives such as bioactive molecules or compounds with nutraceuticals properties. Their matrix complexity, together with the wide range of cosmetics and personal care products currently marketed, demonstrates the challenge associated with their analysis, with most of them requiring a sample pretreatment step before analysis.

We cordially invite authors to contribute original articles or reviews that will update the readers of Molecules on the recent advances in cosmetics and personal care product analysis, 2^nd edition. Such contributions may include new sample preparation strategies based on microextraction and green miniaturized techniques to determine a broad spectrum of compounds in cosmetic and personal care products, as well as the identification and characterization of bioactive compounds from natural plant extracts that could be employed as value-added ingredients.
