This chapter covers a wide range of active ingredients and product types, demonstrating how specific ingredients work in your products and why they are used. The chapter takes a look both at ingredients that are widely used in products to deliver ‘everyday’ functions, such as antioxidants and preservatives, and at some of the industry's ‘special’ palette of active ingredients, such as peptides and vitamins.
