Discovery sheds light on ancient cosmetics By SHAN JUAN in Xi an and CHEN MEILING in Beijing | CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2021-03-13 07:10 Share Remains of cosmetic face cream unearthed in Weinan, Shaanxi province. CHINA DAILY Researchers confirmed recently that traces of a substance found in an over 2,000-year-old jar are a cosmetic face cream for men that was used to whiten the skin, illustrating that the desire to be physically attractive, as measured by the standards of the day, is a shared wish of both ancient and modern man. After several years of complex analysis, six grams of residue in a delicate, sealed bronze jar found in 2017 in the grave of an ancient Chinese nobleman of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) is thought likely to be a cosmetic, adding a significant new piece to the puzzle of early human activity, experts said.
