Cosmetic products are today part of our regular culture and fashion, but that was not always the case. The first human made cosmetics appeared in early modern civilizations some 6 thousand years ago as the way to enhance the appearance and odor of the human body, but the difficult manufacturing processes, harmful ingredients and their connection to the high ruling classes created the aura of exclusivity around them. For the long periods of time, cosmetic products were frowned upon in Western history, and even actively forbidden to be used by many organizations. This “dark” period of cosmetic use finally ended during the end of the 19th and early 20th century, when great advancements in manufacturing, new entertainment industries and faster changes enabled the rise of famous cosmetic brands and their widespread use.
