About as Placental cosmetics were first invented as an injection by Dr. Paul Niehans in the early 1930's. Placenta is the lining of the womb that is expelled after birth. Many cultures consider it rich in nutrients because the placenta is where the foetus receives nourishment. Placenta cosmetics are believed to have many benefits for the skin. Originally, placenta was used to help preserve the youthful appearance and to improve the vitality. After that, placenta was used more often as a popular anti-aging product. It was called "Anti-Aging live cell therapy".When placenta was first used in cosmetics, manufacturers believed that the cells extracted from the placenta promoted the stimulation of tissue growth and removed wrinkles. Natural skin care products with cell extracts have been proven to be more effective than those without cell extracts.

History Coty, Inc. is a century-old fragrance manufacturer that also produces cosmetics and other health and beauty aids. Founded by a Corsican who exploited his marketing knack to become, reputedly, the richest man in France, the company has experienced numerous changes in ownership and management over the years. Coty is now a subsidiary of Joh. A. Benckiser GmbH, a family-controlled German holding company. It is the world's leading manufacturer of mass-market fragrances and occasionally markets products of other manufacturers. Although New York-based, Coty registers the bulk of its sales in Western Europe.
Perfume and Cosmetics Pioneer: 1904--62

Born on the island of Corsica in 1875, Francois Spoturno was orphaned at an early age and reared by a grandmother. After leaving school he drifted to Marseille and then--in 1900&mdasho Paris, where he worked as a haberdashery salesman. Following a year's training in Grasse--birthplace of the perfume industry--he borrowed 10,000 francs from his grandmother in order to establish a makeshift laboratory in his small flat. Taking the name Coty from his mother's family name (Coti), he created his first perfume, La Rose Jacqueminot, in 1904 from concentrated flower oils rejected by others because of their novelty. By 1908 he was successful enough to establish a factory on the outskirts of Paris. Then he introduced face powder, packaging it with a powder puff in a round box.

History

Background to beauty
In the 19th century, respectable women rarely wore make-up that was left for actresses and ladies of the night.When they wanted to brighten their looks, they either pinched their cheeks, rubbed in beetroot or strawberry juice or used greasy uncomfortable make-up made from fats.However, Alexander Napoleon Bourjois was set to change all that. Inspired by the theatre and his love of the stars of the stage, he created a light quality stage make-up that became the "Official Supplier to the Imperial Theatre".This first ever "dry" powder make-up was called ROUGE FIN DE THEATRE.
The beauty of Bourjois baked make-up
In 1863, Bourjois redefined blusher as we know it. He created a baked, coloured powder that blended beautifully and was perfumed with delicate rose scent. The first ever "baked-dry' colour was easier to use and had a natural finish, as opposed to thick, messy greasepaint that resulted in a mask-like effect.The blusher was fashioned into the famous domed shape and left to dry-bake in a dry room in the Bourjois factory in Pantin (Paris suburb).Then, from the theatre to the consumer, it was made accessible to all women packaged in beautifully decorated little cardboard pots, philosophy being "good quality products for stage make-up and everyday make-up".
Pretty pots
From 1879, the pots were given names describing the colour, one of the first being Rosette Brune. This classic shade still exists today as 'Cendre de Rose Brune' and remains a favorite.In 1914, the packaging of the blusher took on its distinctive look with coloured pots that matched the shade inside.The design remained unchanged until the 1950's when cardboard pots were produced in a more modern material.The 80's saw the range expand to eye shadow in an array of beautiful colours. Over the last 2 decades the pots have evolved, being modernised to include mirrors, applicators and a push button opening with a rainbow of colours, making them even more irresistible!
