The History of Lipstick Regulation

From Ancient to Modern Times

I'm cross-posting here from my Cosmetic Chemistry Blog on Medium to share about my series on the history of lipstick regulation. Yes, lipstick is regulated and it has a history!

The series is based on an article by Sarah E. Schaffer in the Food and Drug Law Journal, "Reading Our Lips: The History of Lipstick Regulation in Western Seats of Power." It covers regulation from the ancient world, through renaissance Engliand, and up into the modern American period.
