History of cosmetics throughout the ages: The earliest discoveries related to cosmetics date back at least 1000 years, with makeup palettes and jars of skincare found buried at archaeological sites. Strongly linked to the history of civilizations, the desire to take care of one's skin, adorn it, beautify it, or heal it gradually led humans to develop increasingly advanced processes for the production, combination, or preservation of cosmetic substances. The Egyptians, likely the first cosmetic manufacturers and suppliers, already showed a particular interest in body care, which was seen as a mark of refinement. They were able to create a wide range of colors for eye makeup by mixing different plant or mineral-based powders. Red and yellow pigments made from iron (hematite and goethite), and black pigments made from carbon or manganese oxide have been found. The use of fats, milk, honey, wax, or resin also allowed for adapting the texture of a product for various uses such as powder, eyeshadow, kohl, or a beauty mask, lotion, cream, or ointment. Cosmetic and perfume manufacturing companies were not far behind! Perfumery developed in Europe during the Renaissance, and the use of makeup became particularly popular in the 18th century. However, it was in the 20th century that the cosmetic industry and the science linked to it, cosmetology, experienced a considerable boom. Advances in chemistry allowed for the creation of numerous synthetic substances aimed at improving the properties, texture, or preservation of cosmetics, contributing to progress in the field. Louis XIV, known as "the sweetest-smelling king," was himself a big consumer of cosmetics. With his pale complexion, red lips, and heavily powdered face, he was ready to make an appearance in front of his public.

Aqua admirabilis, or eau de Cologne, was created by Paul Féminis. This new product perfumed all the European courts and became popularized in the streets in the 19th century. The 19th century saw the French full of imagination. Perfumer Rimmel invented a preparation for eyelash makeup, marking the birth of mascara. Still in use since ancient Egyptian times, various preparations for lightening the complexion were in the spotlight and remained just as dangerous for health, but cosmetic suppliers continued to make them their market. Joseph-Albert Ponsin started manufacturing makeup with cosmetic factories in France under the brand name Bourjois. His successor successfully grew the company. Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain created unconventional perfumes for his time and even inspired Honoré de Balzac's novel "César Birotteau." A renowned cosmetic and perfume manufacturing company among cosmetic suppliers! For lips, a preparation made from beeswax, butter, and grapes was used. The modern lipstick tube was in the making. The first beauty institutes were established, such as Klytia in Paris. The cosmetics industry in France today: Industrialization and discoveries in the 20th and 21st centuries have changed the face of cosmetology: "synthetic perfumes, petroleum derivatives, synthetic surfactants, and emulsion stabilizers." New ingredients, accompanied by complex formulations, characterize modern cosmetics, which have been able to gain a significant image among the public thanks to the rise of advertising. In the 21st century, many controversies have arisen. Parabens and UV filters have been denounced. As a result of different consumer expectations, a new type of cosmetics has emerged to meet current demand. Today, suppliers of organic cosmetics are highlighted in major stores, and big brands are seeking to re-conceptualize their products.
