Mystery SolvedThroughout the centuries, legendary beauties have used honey as part of their skin and hair care treatments.  One of the more famous beauties is Cleopatra.  The skin beauty was accentuated by the lighting of aromatic candles for a glowing effect.  She was famous for her milk and honey baths. Another lesser known beauty Poppea, wife of Roman Emperor Nero, used a honey and milk lotion on her face to keep her looking youthful.

 By the time cosmetics were beginning to be mass produced in the late 1800s, honey was a popular ingredient. Today, manufacturers are increasingly using honey in skin moisturizers, facial masks, hair conditioners and shower gels in response to consumer demand for more natural formulations.
