Hair Care Products

The book delves into various aspects of the hair care industry, providing a comprehensive understanding of hair throughout history, its anatomy and physiology, genetics and molecular mechanisms of hair color, and the raw materials used in the industry. It explores the diverse range of hair care products, including oils, dyes, lotions, and serums, and emphasizes the importance of global regulatory approaches to ensure consumer health and safety, particularly in relation to nano-formulations and synthetic hair care products. The book also addresses the safety and efficacy of herbal care products from a global regulatory perspective. Furthermore, it examines the impact of the microbiome on hair care products, highlighting the opportunities and challenges in complying with global regulations. The evaluation of hair care product safety is discussed within a global context, exploring different models and methods. The book also focuses on the journey of hair care products from laboratory testing to market, emphasizing clinical and preclinical assessments in compliance with global regulations. It highlights the role of ex-vivo hair follicle models in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of hair care products while providing a global regulatory framework. Additionally, the book explores the potential of artificial intelligence in predicting hair product toxicity, taking a global perspective. It delves into omics approaches for hair toxicity assessment, discussing current advances and future directions in this field. The next generation of hair products is also explored, with a focus on innovations that prioritize safe and healthy consumer choices. Finally, the book provides an overview of global regulatory frameworks for the hair care industry, including key agencies and guidelines. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers in the field, offering insights into the historical, scientific, and regulatory aspects of hair care products and their impact on consumer health and safety.

Explores hair's transformative journey, anatomy, genetics, and regulations for safe and healthy consumer choices Develops an understanding of hair diversity, physiology, and color genetics for effective and safe hair care products Ensures consumer health and safety in hair care, from raw materials to AI toxicity prediction

Dr Ashish Dwivedi graduated from CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India, in Phototoxicology. Thereafter, he enriched himself in the same domain of research as Post-Doctoral Fellow at Israel Institute of Technology, Israel, Colorado University, USA, and Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Based on his outstanding research experience, he got an opportunity to return to his parenteral research organization-CSIR-IITR, where he is currently a Scientist in the Drug & Chemical Toxicology Group. In a decade-long research career, Dr Dwivedi has established himself as one of the pioneers in the area of phototoxicity/photo safety with special reference to the phot-safety of cosmetics ingredients (hair dyes, colorants, preservatives and fragrances), therapeutic agents, nanotized phytochemicals, environmental pollutants, etc. Besides the laboratory work, he has also been involved in fostering contemporary science to Post-Graduate, PhD students, researchers, and university teachers. Dr Dwivedi's research efforts have been rewarding in terms of the quantifiable number of research publications in journals of high repute. He has also edited three books for Springer Nature in the area of Photo protection, Skin Aging, and Cosmetics safety and alternative models. He is a member of various scientific societies, including the society of Toxicology, USA, Indian Photobiology Society, India, Society of Toxicology, India, etc.
