ABSTRACT
The cosmetic industry has changed dramatically over the past 20 years with the
introduction of daily UV lotion in the late 1980s to fight future aging. No longer are
women searching for hope in a jar but focusing on the latest over-the-counter breakthrough
products with clinically demonstrated biological activity. This quest for skin health and
youthful beauty has driven many consumers to explore a variety of approaches. It has also
triggered a renaissance in the world of skin care where health, beauty, and technology are
converging to create new and exciting opportunities.
