History of Cosmetics

Today we live in a society that puts a lot of value on how we look. Many people have been trying to

find the

fountain of youth for centuries but have

not been

able to fight the effects of aging. It

is interesting to

look back in time and see

the evolution

of cosmetic chemistry.

Their

have been a lot of accidental

discoveries

in science and we would be

naive

to think that cosmetics isn’t one of them.Slide3

The Ancient Egyptians were the earliest users of cosmetics for personal, religious, and burial uses.

They would

keep their skin lubricated by applying fragrant oils, lotions or ointments

.

The word ‘cosmetics’ comes from the greek word ‘kosmetikos’ which means skilled in decorating.Around 200A.D. Galen, a Greek physician, mixed rose water, beeswax, and olive oil together to create the first modern cosmetic compound: Cold Cream.

History of CosmeticsSlide4

During

the Elizabethan Era facial masks were all the rage and

formulas

for these lotions were made

from ingredients such as powdered eggshell, alum, borax, ground almond, poppy seeds, milk, butter, wine, fruits, and vegetables.History of CosmeticsSlide5

Today the cosmetic industry has evolved and become much more complex with the use of chemicals as

active

ingredients. Now, cosmetics have to be tested before they can be consumed by the masses. It will

be

interesting to look into the future a century from now and see how much cosmetics have changed and evolved to meet the needs of 22nd century consumer.History of CosmeticsSlide6

producsPrices of products are quite similarMarketing and product distribution is very different for these two companies, although both companies seem to be benefiting from their respective systems and both have been around for decadesArbonne has very accessible ingredient lists, making it more consumer friendly.

Although Clinique is hypoallergenic and fragrance free it still does contain ingredients that can be harmful and cause irritationSlide30
