In Polish literature, we find little mention of cosmetics and beauty culture. So far, this knowledge, quite fragmented and rudimentary, was known only to a small group of enthusiasts. This article is the beginning of a larger whole, which will give readers an insight into the history of cosmetology and interesting facts often closely associated with political history, geographical discoveries and medicine. Key words: history of cosmetics, Mesopotamia, vegetable dyes, perfumes, fragrances, medicinal plants |
