Ancient Egyptian cosmetics: 'Magical' makeup may have been medicine for

eye disease

EurekAlert [uSA], 11-Jan-2010

 

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2010 †" There's more to the eye makeup that

gave Queen Nefertiti and other ancient Egyptian royals those stupendous

gazes and legendary beauty than meets the eye. Scientists in France are

reporting that the alluring eye makeup also may have been used to help

prevent or treat eye disease by doubling as an infection-fighter. Their

findings are scheduled for the next (Jan. 15, 2010) issue of the

American Chemical Society (ACS) semi-monthly journal, Analytical

Chemistry.
