Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-02
BY Rene Bache.

HE Richardson Bill, now be-
fore committee in Congress,
is aimed at fraudulent cos
metics. If, as is expected, it be-
oomes a law, it will drive all the
pretended face lotions" Skin
ioods' and other such beauty fakes
out of the market.
This is matter Of very great i'm
portance, because up to the present
tlme there has been no restriction,
Whatever upon the sale Of stuff Of
'he Kind, which fad market in
this country to the extent Of many
millions of dollars yearly. Most of
1t is absolutely worthless, and much
OF it highly luxurious and even dam
gerous-being calculated to destroy.
rather than to enhance, feminine
charms.
The Government would ave at
tackled this swindling business long
ago, but for the fact that its hands
have been tied. For fraudulent cos
metics are not within the scope Of
the Pure Food and Dug Law,
simply for the reason that they can
not be classified as medicine in a
proper sense of the term. II a
woman seeks cosmetic to make her
more beautiful, it can hardly be said
that she is purchasing a medicine.
This situation OF affairs, however.
win be entirely changed by the
passage of che Richardson bill; and
thereupon the Government will pro-
ceed to make wholesale seizures Of
fraudulent beaue making nostrums
Of all kinds-basing its action in
some cases upon the false labelling
OF the preparations in question, and
in others upon the fact that they
are worthless or worse Already
the Bureau OF Chemistry has made
a fairly complete investigation Of
the whole subject, and has planned
its line OF procedure.
The women In particular should
be glad of the protection which by
this means is to be afforded them
against a species of fraud which,
not only cheats them out of their
money, but threatens to rob them OF
their good looks. Take for instance
most of the so-called face lotions"
which to-day are SO widely adver-
Used and sold Most of these have
been analysed by the Bureau OF
Chemistry, and it has found that

disguise, for much money, with the
help of .,Iy ctisemeLts making false
and extravagant claims in regard TO
the efficiency of the preparation as
a beauty maker.
The same thing has been largely
done with mutton tallow. And a
good deal of very expensive tooth.
powder is nothing more than mix
ture of powdered soap and preci-
plated chalk with little scent and
pink coloring to render it attractive.
Toothpowder, it might be said, is
hardly 10 be classed as a cosmetic;
but 1t serves to illustrate the great
principle that underlies the manu-
facture of nearly all toilet prepare
tions--the idea, that is to say, of
selling a mixture of cheap materials
at a high price.
A serious objection to vaseline as
an unguent for use on the face is
that 1t is at least suspected to have
a tendency to encourage the growth
OF hair where it is not wanted. This
is merely suggestion which women
may consider it worth while to take
into view.
Even the colored population is not
overlooked by the manufacturers
though the nostrums sold for their
special use are most commonly for

10 Stop Fraudulent "Beauty" Cosmetics

nearly all contain bichloride of mer-
cury-that is to say, corrosive sub
Innate. The typical notsrum of this
description consists of corrosive
sublimate dissolved in water and
glycerine and favored with tincture
Of benzoin.
1t goes without saying that such
q mixture is extremely cheap. In
fact, it can be put up for almost
nothing at all, but it easily com
mands a high price. Apparently
(say the Government experJsJ the
more absurd and extravagant are
the claims made in behalf of a
beauty fake, the more readily it
sells.
One manufacturer, when asked
what was in" cosmetic prepare
ton that he sold, cooily replied:
There is 80 per cent profit for me-"
The fraudulent beauty lotions"
beautify by destroying the surface
layer of the skin with which they
come into contact That is to say
the corrosive sublimate they con-
tain causes the outer scarf skin"
(epidermis) to peel off, thus bring
ing to view the lower layer of skin
(dermis) which is smooth and pink
incidentally, of course, it leaves
the skin very tender and sensitive
