Development history of skin care products

(1) Archaeologists found beautiful beads made of decorative pebbles, shells or animal teeth on the remains of primitive humans; At the same time, traces of beauty and makeup were found on the cave murals.

(2) From the 5th century BC to the 7th century AD, there were many legends and records about making and using cosmetics all over the world. For example, the ancient Egyptians curled their hair with mud, the ancient Egyptian queen painted her eyes with verdigris to make them look big and bright, took a bath with donkey milk to maintain her skin, and the ancient Greek beauty Ya Spazzi covered her wrinkles with fish glue. Many cosmetics have also appeared. In ancient China, people also liked to wipe their cheeks with rouge and moisten their hair with hair oil to set off the beauty and charm of their faces.

③/kloc-In the 4th century, Italian shoemakers encountered a difficult problem when dealing with the wrinkled leather surface. By chance, they found that oil can smooth the wrinkles on the leather surface and make the leather surface delicate and smooth again. If it has such a magical effect on animal skin, what will happen to human skin? This bold idea has opened up a new road for the development of cosmetics.

(4) After World War II in the 20th century, the world economy recovered slowly. With the rapid development of petrochemical industry, in order to meet people's pursuit and desire for beauty, synthetic cosmetics with mineral oil as the main component and other chemical additives such as spices and pigments were born.

(5) In 1970s, people paid close attention to the environmental pollution and toxicity of synthetic cosmetics in the process of production and consumption, and set off a worldwide trend of "returning to nature". Natural cosmetics use natural oil instead of mineral oil in the past. However, due to the physiological and structural characteristics of the skin itself, the nutrients extracted from nature can only reach the stratum corneum, and cannot go deep into the skin to solve the problem.

With the deepening of cosmetic scientific research and the outbreak of cosmetic hazards, people's demand for cosmetic safety and health has reached an unprecedented height. Shouldering the historical responsibility of creating safe and healthy cosmetics, no-added cosmetics were formally born.
