The end of the war: a scientific vision of cosmetics

<<  <  >  >> 

As early as 1944, Dr François Debat, physician, first class pharmacist and former head of the dermatological laboratory at Saint-Antoine hospital claimed that cosmetics were a multidisciplinary science by. “A laboratory of feminine esthetics is bound to be a scientific laboratory,” he wrote, and the elaboration of a product had to be the fruit of “the combined research of several categories of scientists working together.” Trademark as a guarantee of the quality of beauty products was reasserted by Jean-Jacques Guerlain, as was the social role of beauty. As was written in an article published in Parfumerie magazine: “Maintaining, taking care of, cultivating beauty is, just as body hygiene, a rule that is part and parcel of modern life.”
