History Of Cosmetics In Egypt

As early as 10,000 BC, men and women used scented oils and ointments to clean and soften their skin and mask body odour. To colour the skin, body and hair they used dyes and paints. They often rouged their lips and cheeks, stained their nails with henna, and lined their eyes and eyebrows heavily with kohl. Kohl was a dark-coloured powder made of crushed antimony, burnt almonds, lead, oxidised copper, ochre, ash, malachite and chrysocolla. They applied the kohl by using a small stick. The upper and lower eyelids were painted in a line that extended to the sides of the face. This was done to give an almond effect. It was believed that kohl eyeliner could restore poor eyesight and reduce eye infection. The kohl was kept in a small, flat-bottomed pot with a wide, tiny rim and a flat, disk-shaped lid.

Cosmetics were a big part of Egyptian hygiene and health. Oils and creams were used for protection against the hot Egyptian sun and dry winds. Myrrh, thyme, marjoram, chamomile, lavender, lily, peppermint, rosemary, cedar, rose, aloe, olive oil, sesame oil and almond oil provided the basic ingredients of most perfumes that were used in religious ritual and embalming the dead. For lips, cheeks and nails, clay called red ochre was ground and mixed with water. To dye their fingernails yellow or orange, henna was used. Makeup was stored in special jars that were kept in special makeup boxes. Women would carry their makeup boxes to parties and keep them under their chairs. Although men also wore makeup, they did not carry their makeup kits with them.

Harmful Ingredients In Cosmetics

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) are used in shampoos, toothpaste, foaming facial and body cleansers and bubble bath. They are known to cause severe skin irritation, and are easily absorbed into the body, building up in the brain, heart, lungs and liver, leading to potential long term health problems. SLS and ALS may also prevent children's eyes from developing properly.

Parabens are used in deodorants, skin care and baby products. They are used to make the product have a longer shelf life. They are known to be highly toxic and have cause rashes and allergic reactions.

Propylene Glycol is found in many beauty creams, cosmetics and cleansers. It can cause skin rashes and contact dermatitis. It can also damage the kidneys and livers.

Isopropyl Alcohol is used as a solvent in many skin care products. It causes skin irritation and strips the skin of its natural acid mantle, promoting the growth of bacteria, moulds and viruses. It may also cause premature ageing of skin.

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is used as a thickener in skin care products. It interferes with the skin's natural moisture balance which causes an increase in ageing and leaving the skin vulnerable to bacteria.

Why People Use Cosmetics

Women use cosmetics because they think it is a way to express themselves, using creative ideas to enhance their features or even to hide some features that aren’t particularly appealing. By wearing cosmetics some women feel they have more self-confidence.

Women often feel that they look very plain and unattractive without using cosmetics. Some women feel that extensive makeup treatments are necessary to get them to a state in which they can appear in public. They may also feel better about themselves if they simply highlight one or two areas, such as their eyes and eyebrows.
