The modern cosmetics industry is innovative and science-led with a wide variety of methodologies and technologies. Along with the evolution of this science, the green cosmetics’ paradigm and removal of harmful substances causing allergic reactions in skin, scalp, hair and nail have become integral parts of it.
In recent decades, analysis techniques of cosmetic products have been empowered by lab automation systems, chemometrics, colour science and statistics where the main aim is centered on development of allergenic-free, eco- and user-friendly cosmetic products. In the face of the rising demand for consumer requirements and assessment approaches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the race to launch new innovative products and their evaluation methods has never been run at a faster pace. Foremost the significant remaining challenges are translating consumer desires onto real products through novel analytical methodologies.
This Research Topic aims to highlight modern approaches for assessment of cosmetic products in any stage of product creation and it covers recent methodological advances in the cosmetic chemistry such as quantification/qualification of sustainable compounds, detection of allergen compounds, development of robust methods relying on green chemistry, application of Design of Experiments for screening/optimization, novel optical or non-optical imaging technologies, instrumentation development/improvement, advanced sample separation/preparation strategies, prediction of product performance by AI-assisted techniques, and lab-on-a-chip devices (also known as (bio)sensors) for on-site assessments.
Authors are invited to submit original research, reviews, mini reviews and perspective articles exploring below themes, but are not limited to:
• Advanced sample treatment and separation techniques
• Detection of allergens in cosmetic components
• Innovative application of statistic, bioinformatic and chemometrics
• Chemometrics-assisted performance evaluations
• Development of robust analytical methods
• Modern on-site (bio)sensors for product analysis
