INTRODUCTION
The first and second editions of Sunscreens did not contain a chapter equivalent
to the present one. Including “antiaging actives” in the present book reflects some
of the changes occurring in cosmetic formulations and marketing strategies. As in
so many other domains, we see a blurring of frontiers, a mixing of categories, and
a (deliberate?) gradual disappearance of clear distinctions and definitions.
