The author of this book is greatly indebted to the many technician whose work has provided in a large measure the factual information from which the conclusions appearing in these pages were drawn. In a sense, she has acted in an editorial capacity bringing together information that has appeared in trade magazines, medical journals, government and state publications, and a number of books on cosmetics and dermatology. The major part of the information, however, appears in the extensive files of Consumers' Research.
Skin Deep is, in part, an attempt to meet the need so clearly expressed in these requests. If it appears that some kinds of cosmetics are inadequately dealt with in this book, it is not due to the author's lack of interest in the subject, but rather to the fact that in some fields, such as nail polish, lipstick, and sun tan oil, for example, little research has been done of a scientific, disinterested nature that can be used or relied on by consumers. It is to be hoped that this book may have some effect in at least stimulating students of chemistry in colleges and universities to look into these problems which are often vital to the health and social and economic welfare of millions of women.
