EDICATION
I would like to dedicate this book to my beloved mother for her inspiration and never-ending
love for botanicals or as she would say “God’s Herbs.” To my wife Josephine for her enduring
patience; to my children; to my beloved grandmother Susan, who gave me my first inspiration
for the sciences, when on my seventh birthday surprised me with my first microscope and
in later years passed on her knowledge of botanicals to me; and to my father for his
encouragement and persevering interest in my work through the years; and special thanks to
my brother Michael for his most helpful input.

Botanicals: A Phytocosmetic Desk Reference
by Frank S. D’Amelio is a complete Desk
Reference covering a large number of botanicals, their various constituents, properties, and
uses of importance to plant and cosmetic chemists, pharmacists, herbalists, aromatherapists,
and others interested in the properties and uses of botanicals. It is a well written text, nicely
illustrated, featuring several hundred monographs of commonly used botanicals. Its pages
include various forms of plant extracts, their extraction and identification technologies, and
medicinal as well as cosmetic applications. Numerous cosmetic formulations are included,
as is an extensive glossary of therapeutic terms and a Botanical Listing for cross-reference
purposes.
This book is recommended for everyone with interests in the properties and uses of
botanicals and their cosmetic applications.

REFACE
This book is intended to be a brief overview of phytochemistry for the cosmetic formulator.
It is in no way intended to be a comprehensive book on botanicals; however, I saw the need
for some form of reference book that the cosmetic chemist could have handy. Over the past
25 years while working with botanicals, many cosmetic chemists expressed their interest in
such a book. I have kept it to the point and researched to find the most common folkloric
use of botanicals and their various constituents. It was almost impossible, in this brief
overview, to list all the botanicals and their constituents, as many plants contain several
hundred compounds. I listed those that I felt would be of greatest interest, and included a
brief overview of phytochemistry, eliminating theory and technique as there are many excel-
lent books on this subject which are listed in the bibliography. I have listed current INCI
names, with Japanese cross-references. These are, however, constantly changing. In a small
book such as this, it is virtually impossible to cover the entire subject of cosmetic and
medicinal plants chemistry, but I am confident that the broad spectrum of information included
will be very helpful to those involved in cosmetic nutritional and pharmaceutical industries.
It is, however, my hope that this book will help to stimulate the reader’s appetite for the
further investigation of botanicals.
