CHEMICALS USED IN SKINCARE AND COSMETICS

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
