Where does the word
cosmetic come from?
Although cosmetics were used long before, the etymological
origin of the word, as it is known today, comes from Greek culture.
Actually, the word “Cosmetic” is the sum of the noun Cosmos
(which comes to mean “beauty and order”) and the suffix “–icon” (whose meaning
would be “relative”).
In this way we call these substances that are used to
improve or protect the appearance of our body. They are also used to alter the
smell of our bodies. The way they do this is by altering their appearance,
without affecting their structures or functions.
As an example, we can find the «Makeup«; that appeared as
we know it today, in the French theaters of the 19th century. In this way, with
this name they called the paint that the actors put on their faces to go on
stage. The purpose of these paintings was, both to discolor the skin of the
face, as well as that of other visible parts of the body, to highlight them.
Story about
cosmetics
Incredible as it may seem, the use of cosmetics dates back
thousands of years. In fact, the first references to the history of cosmetics
date back to around 4,000 BC. Specifically, the history of cosmetics dates back
to the times of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
At that time, all men and women painted their eyes with
black and green powders, such as black kohl (what we know today as eyeliner)
that contained lead salts.
Its use, apart from aesthetic, was also preventive against
the diseases of the time. Or so it was believed! Other civilizations
Lead salts were not only used by the Egyptians but also in
the complexions of women in the Roman Empire and in England in the 16th
century.
A clear reference was Queen Elizabeth I. She used a mixture
of lead and vinegar that received the name of Venetian ceruse or "spirit
of Saturn" which could soften the complexion of a woman, but which, in the
long term, caused depigmentation of the skin! Skin, hair loss and rotten teeth!
The first
advertisements
As early as the end of the 19th century, pill cans were advertised
in American newspapers. These pills in principle, if ingested, ensured the
disappearance of freckles, pimples and facial defects in general, however, what
these pill cans contained was arsenic.
Even so, and knowing already in Victorian times that arsenic
was poisonous, some women thought that a little bit would not hurt them!
In this way, the expression "to show off you have to
suffer" was internalized.
The prohibition of substances dangerous to health
Luckily, as of 2009, the REGULATION (EC) 1223/2009 of the
European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products prohibited the use
of lead, arsenic and their respective compounds, among others.
Since then, cosmetics have evolved a lot, especially in
their composition.
Classification of cosmetic products according to their
shape
Throughout history, cosmetics have evolved and have been
divided into several families in their classification as shown below:
- Solutions and lotions (perfumes, glitter…)
- Emulsions (cleansing milks, creams…)
- Suspensions (fluid makeup)
- Gels
- Foams
- Sprayers (powder makeup)
- Solids (lipstick, eye pencil, compact powder...)
Types of makeup
that we find today according to their durability
Currently we can find different cosmetics, classified
according to their durability, as well as their resistance to water. In this
way we can find cosmetics as classified below:
Semi-permanent makeup
Definition: It is a manual technique of
semi-permanent and hyper-realistic makeup in which the eye line eyebrows lips
are drawn thus achieving a three-dimensional effect durability of some products
in general product shelf life moisturizing creams face and body from 12 to 18
months eyeliner from 3 to 4 months gel eyeliner from 1 to 2 months eye pencil
from 6 to 12 months make-up remover from 6 to 12 months shampoo and bath gel
from 12 to 18 months make-up bases from 6 to 12 months compact powder from 12
to 24 months lipstick from 12 to 24 months nail lacquer from 10 to 12 months
mascara from 3 to 6 months cream pencil eyeliner up to 24 months shadows from
12 to 36 months lip liner up to 36 months sunscreens from 10 to 12 months risks
the most common are allergic reactions granulomas waterproof makeup completely
waterproof cosmetic products thanks to their
composition fine waxes and
micro-ionized powders that adhere to the skin and create a kind of uniform film
that is compatible with water to ensure that makeup remains stable
water-resistant make-up products that are not resistant to contact with water
however are only resistant to perspiration and tears so watch out for the rain
responsible consumption first of all it is worth highlighting the importance of
reading the labeling of cosmetics to make good use of them for products that
have a shelf life of more than 30 months the date of consumption once opened
will appear on the container that is the number of months that the product
remains in good condition once it has been opened this information must be
taken into account since after this time the product does not guarantee to
retain its initial properties for example the jar shown below indicates that it
is the symbol used to represent this date for example 12 months history of
cosmetics period in good condition after opening 12 months evolution of the
history of cosmetics towards safety as has been seen throughout history
cosmetics have evolved a lot and not only in quality and presentation but
above all in safety were it not for the approval of regulation 12232009 perhaps we would continue to put
