Cosmetics
are preparations externally applied to change or enhance
the beauty of skin, hair, nails, lips, and eyes. The
use of body paint for ornamental and religious purposes
has been common among primitive peoples from prehistoric
times (see body-marking ). Ointments, balms, powders,
and hair dyes have also been used from ancient times.
Many cosmetics originated in Asia, but their ingredients
and use are first recorded in Egypt; ancient tombs
have yielded cosmetic jars (called kohl pots) and
applicators (called cosmetic spoons).
The Egyptians used kohl to darken their eyes; a crude
paint was used on the face, and fingers were often
dyed with henna. Greek women used charcoal pencils
and rouge sticks of alkanet and coated their faces
with powder, which often contained dangerous lead
compounds. Beauty aids reached a peak in imperial
Rome—especially chalk for the face and a rouge called
fucus—and ladies required the services of slaves adept
in their use.
Many cosmetics survived the Middle Ages, and Crusaders
brought back rare Eastern oils and perfumes. In the
Renaissance, cosmetics, usually white-lead powder
and vermilion, were used extravagantly. From the 17th
cent. recipes and books on the toilette abounded. |
