Research Journal of Topical and Cosmetic Sciences (RJTCS)

Research Journal of Topical and Cosmetic Sciences (RJTCS) is a peer‑reviewed semi‑annual scientific journal based in India that serves as an academic platform for research in cosmetic and topical science disciplines. The journal publishes original research articles, short communications, and review papers that address formulation, evaluation, technology, and scientific innovation in cosmetics, toiletries, perfumery, and related products applied to skin, hair, and oral use. RJTCS covers both pure and applied aspects of cosmetic sciences, including physical chemistry of cosmetic systems, surfactant applications, aerosol and emulsion technologies, olfactive studies, analytical chemistry methods, and standardization procedures for cosmetic products. As a semi‑annual journal with issues released in June and December, it provides consistent scholarly communication and promotes dissemination of cutting‑edge research in topical and cosmetic product science. Its editorial and review processes aim to uphold scientific rigor and relevance across interdisciplinary studies that blend chemical, pharmaceutical, dermatological, and formulation science approaches. Indexed in Google Scholar, ProQuest Central, and Indian Citation Index, RJTCS enhances the visibility of published research and attracts submissions from scientists, academicians, and industry professionals engaged in cosmetic technology and product innovation.
