History

Fragrant oils and ointments, which are obtained from vegetable and animal fats were a significant part of ancient cosmetics. They were mixed with flower infusions, tonic and healing supplements.

In the Mediterranean, olive oil was often used as foundation cream. Many African tribes used raffia palm oil for cosmetic purposes. In Oceania, they produce fat containing cosmetics normally from coconut oil, which is then mixed with palm and castor oil, animal fat, and even cow butter with addition of red tree, ginger root, herbs, or metal dust.

The basis of all modern creams for skin care, as in ancient times, - a composition of fatty substances, water and biologically active components. Since water and oil are not mixed, they add emulsifiers.
