Research and innovation on “products”

<< < > >> |

In spite of the 1870 defeat and the horror of the Great War, science progressed and conquered people’s minds. Notions such as chemical equations [1], optical isomerism [2],
bacteria, superficial tension [3], emulsification, synthetic coloring agents, etc., allowed new, more sophisticated products to come to light. In 1879, Roger et Gallet, using the so-called
“cauldron” method, invented the first round soap. Around 1900, glycerin, a by-product of saponification discovered by Chevreul, was added to creams with alkaline stearates – which, dry the skin. Creams were protected from
bacterial contaminations with the reinforcement of specific essential oils whose antimicrobial properties had recently been discovered.
"Crème Simon" with glycerin. The "Crème Simon" is a french brand, created and patented in 1860 by Lyons pharmacist Joseph Simon.
