The Beauty Creams That Destroyed Faces

In the early 1900s, beauty brands sold face creams and treatments laced with arsenic, mercury, and even radium as modern scientific breakthroughs. This video traces how ideas about chemistry, health, and “perfect” skin came together in a dangerous mix of wishful thinking and misleading advertising. Drawing on historical records, vintage ads, and early dermatology reports, it shows how ordinary routines like whitening the skin, clearing acne, or softening wrinkles slowly harmed the people who trusted these products most. This short documentary-style history video explores the world of toxic cosmetics, from fashionable arsenic wafers and mercury-laced skin lighteners to radium-branded beauty treatments promoted in Europe and the United States. It looks at the doctors, chemists, and companies who defended these ingredients, the women whose faces and health were permanently damaged, and the gradual rise of regulation and consumer protection that followed.
