As the third volume of a trilogy on Plants in cosmetics, this study concerns potentially harmful components which occur naturally in some plants the ingredients of which could likely be used in cosmetic products. Its aim is to raise awareness on the implication on consumer health by use of such ingredients and to trigger preventive measures. The 24 data sheets of components, selected by the authors because they are not regulated specifically in cosmetic legislation, give useful information particularly for the competent authorities and the manufacturers of raw materials and cosmetic products, mainly based on currently available pharmaco-toxicological data. Each monograph includes a bibliography and conclusions/recommendations.

NOTRE peau et ses "prodiges", comme les nommait Anne Jeanblanc dans son remarquable article paru dans le Point le 23 Juillet 1999, méritent toutes les attentions et tous les soins. Réalité physiologique et sensibilité psychologique - à fleur de peau - stimulent les imaginations et les recherches, avec une mention particulière pour le recours à la nature, et tout particulièrement aux vertus, découvertes ou redécouvertes, de très nombreuses plantes. La référence à telle ou telle d'entre elles, qualifiée de "bonne pour la peau" est de plus en plus mise en avant par les laboratoires et les entreprises dans la présentation et la promotion de leurs produits d'hygiène, de beauté et de santé. Mais l'argument "plante" qui apparaît sur les conditionnements et dans la publicité, a besoin d'être explicité et validé, au risque d'être considéré comme accessoire ou exotique. La vocation de ce livre est ainsi de fournir des informations sérieuses et compréhensibles par tous pour, en quelque sorte, justifier et faire comprendre le choix de 21 plantes de la peau, parmi les plus fréquemment utilisées. Cet ouvrage procède d'une double approche, favorisée par la culture et la personnalité des auteurs : Alain Tessier, botaniste et pharmacognosiste, attaché à la connaissance scientifique des plantes et de leurs propriétés médicinales, et Corinne Pezard, biologiste et journaliste, soucieuse de l'environnement psychologique et pratique et de la perception que chacun manifeste au sujet de sa propre peau. Le livre prend naturellement place au coeur de la collection Santé : Renouveaux et Découvertes, que développent les Editions Médicis-Entrelacs.
