International Journal of Cosmetic Science (IJCS)

The International Journal of Cosmetic Science is a well-established, bimonthly scientific journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the Société Française de Cosmétologie. First launched in 1979, it has developed into a respected forum for high-quality research that bridges fundamental science and practical applications in cosmetic and skin research. The journal’s scope encompasses studies on skin and hair biology, formulation science, ingredient interaction with biological tissues, safety assessments, and innovations in cosmetic delivery technologies. It welcomes contributions that employ rigorous methodologies — from in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo studies to advanced analytical techniques — to investigate biological responses to cosmetic formulations and active ingredients. As a multidisciplinary publication, it attracts work from researchers in dermatology, chemistry, pharmaceutical science, materials science, and cosmetic technology, offering insights that support both scientific advancement and industry innovation. The journal’s readership includes practicing cosmetic scientists, dermatologists, formulation chemists, and academics seeking to understand and improve the safety, performance, and efficacy of cosmetic products. By publishing research that informs product design, regulation, and consumer safety, the International Journal of Cosmetic Science plays a pivotal role in advancing the science behind cosmetics and personal care products.
