Research and innovation on “products”

<< < > >> |

In spite of the 1870 defeat and the horror of the Great War, science progressed and conquered people’s minds. Notions such as chemical equations [1], optical isomerism [2],
bacteria, superficial tension [3], emulsification, synthetic coloring agents, etc., allowed new, more sophisticated products to come to light. In 1879, Roger et Gallet, using the so-called
“cauldron” method, invented the first round soap. Around 1900, glycerin, a by-product of saponification discovered by Chevreul, was added to creams with alkaline stearates – which, dry the skin. Creams were protected from
bacterial contaminations with the reinforcement of specific essential oils whose antimicrobial properties had recently been discovered.
