Roman face cream
It has been dubbed 'Maximum Factorius': scientists have unearthed a 1,800-year-old pot of
Roman face cream - and discovered that it feels quite pleasant, and uses many of the ingredients
found in cosmetics today, says The Independent.
The sealed pot was found in Southwark, London, preserved under thick layers of mud. Analysis showed it contained around 40% boiled animal fats, 40% starch, and tin oxide. Roman face creams also contained lead, although the dangers were known, suggesting that even then women were expected to suffer for their beauty.
A replica "felt greasy initially, owing to the fat melting as a result of body heat", said the researchers from the University of Bristol. However, "this was quickly taken over by the smooth, powdery texture created by the starch".

All about SendMeScent
Who are we?
You may not have heard of us, but we are one of the leading online retailers of designer fragrances in the United Kingdom. We don't operate stores on the High Street. Instead we keep our overheads low and pass the cost savings on to you.
Our philosophy?
Our aim is to operate a successful expanding business. To do this we rely on happy customers who recommend us to their friends and who return to order from us again. High Street stores can rely on their location to attract passing trade. We are dependant on our reputation. We realise that we have competition and we understand that in order to stay ahead we need to exceed the expectations of our customers in terms of product quality, price and customer service.
Are your products in stock?
All products are in stock and ready to be dispatched unless they are clearly marked as out of stock. Our system will not let you add an item to your basket unless we have it in stock.
Are your products genuine?
Absolutely. Our products are sourced from reputable suppliers around the world and are produced by the original manufacturer for that particular brand.
When will my order be dispatched?
We aim to dispatch all products on the same or next business day. If we are unable to do this for any reason, we will endeavour to contact you and give you the option of cancelling your order. All of our orders are dispatched in sturdy boxes to protect the contents from damage in the post. We don't try to save money by making do with padded bags.
Will I have to pay anything when it is delivered?
No, we ship from the United Kingdom and VAT is included in all our prices. Some of our competitors ship from outside the European Union. Their prices often appear cheaper because they do not charge VAT. Their customers are often required to pay additional import duty when the goods are delivered.
