Block 1- Hon. Chemistry

Mr. Velazquez

Today there is much advancement in the cosmetic world. There are also many scientist (that go back to the ancient Romans) that have invented and experimented with chemicals to produce what we know have today. Eugene Schueller is one of those chemists that helped advance the cosmetic industry. He also invented other products such as Sun block and the revolutionary L’Oreal cosmetic industry.

Eugene Schueller is a French chemist. There is not a lot of information about his life and where he grew up. Eugene Schueller graduated from France’s national chemical engineering school in 1904. In 1909, this young chemist founded the company L’Oreal. He had an amazing “entrepreneurial spirit”. Schueller began by selling his own formulated hair dye to the Persian Hairdressers. The next year after that, he convinced Paris hair stylist to use his hair dyes for a fashion show, with his determination and ambition he succeeded and earned publicity. Another bit of information that we know is that Schueller had a passion for chemistry always trying new ideas.

During the 1920s when the war was finally over, there was a new perspective changing in women. Women are now working, earning money and are getting more concerned about their appearance. They wanted to look younger, by covering gray hair. This was a great opportunity to the Oreal hair dyes (now they changed it to L’Oreal) to earn more money. This was a great success, it even started to spread to other countries such as Italy, Austria, The Netherlands, and even reaching the U.S, U.K, Canada and Brazil. During 1928 Schueller started to modernized and upgraded his products by improving qualities and redesigning his advertising methods.

In some point in time, people didn’t know how to advertise, but Eugene Schuler is a pioneer on this kind of advertising. Schueller had talent for advertising, using

    Before the 1920s, wearing makeup was seen as a preoccupation for actresses on stage or prostitutes. However, the views of the people and culture of our nation changed as the flapper girls took over. Due to world war one, the number of women outweighed the men. This motivated some women to look more appealing and desirable. In regards to the technological advances of the twenties, blush, lipsticks, and most famously Maybelline’s cake mascara became more popular and an accepted view of society. Fuller and longer lashes were obtained by petroleum jelly before Maybelline came out with their invention. The mascara was a rectangular box, half being a pigmented black or brown color and the other half casing the brush. Maybelline started its uprising with this mascara however later perfected new innovations such as foundation, eyebrow pencils and bronzers. According to Glamour daze, “Those cosmetic innovations of the 1910s of lipstick, eye-shadows, mascara and pan-sticks from brands like Max Factor were now to be seen on dressing tables and handbags across America and Europe. In Japan, still not under the spell of fascism, Shiseido was producing their own unique beauty products for the ‘modern Japanese woman” (Kasdan) By 1909, an entrepreneur named Gordon Selfridge sided with the women revolt for independence to create a cosmetics boutique that had a “try before buy” policy. The boutique lacked popularity at first, however, made its mark by 1920. The “try before you buy” concept became popular as it was advertised in chain companies such as pharmacies, drugstores and department stores. Harlots became nonexistent as women eased into the concept of face powders, creams, mascaras and lipsticks. Maybelline’s cake mascara was now critical in every women handbag along with the new innovations and improvements of…

    Throughout the centuries fashion has changed in almost everything except its name. What started off as a special preserve of the privileged few has become an area in which all people can enjoy no matter what their status is. The old time consuming traditions of hand craftsmanship, which used to put most people out of reach of fashion, has over the years gone through gradual change. But what has been responsible for this progressive change in American women's fashion over time? What influences have helped shape the way American women's fashion has panned out over the centuries? Most historians in this area agree that the change and progression in women's fashion can be credited to outside forces such as the present political conditions or beliefs among the societies in which these women take part in. Rose Kerr, a historian specializing in pop culture and women's fashion and author of "Historic Costume", states in the introduction to her book that "costume has always been influenced by contemporary conditions-social, religious, and political."…

    The Man Nobody Knows

    • 900 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The author of this book Bruce Barton was a partner in a successful advertising firm during the 1920's. This was a time when the industry of advertising was under going some major changes. These changes had a lot to do with a number of factors the first of which being the post war prosperity this meant people had more money than they ever had before. Another one of these factors had to do with the high number of teens who were now attending high school, this proved to be important because it created a whole other market which hadn't existed before. One more factor was the advances made in transportation and communication, these advances allowed goods, people, and information to travel long distances relatively quickly intern allowing companies to grow large enough to spread their services nationally. Still another important factor was the invention of financing, this allowed people to pay for durable objects (large objects that would last a couple of years) with affordable installments or payments. But the biggest changes were the actual advertising practices themselves, many of which were pioneered by Barton and his associates, and didn't become norms in advertising until after the release of Bartons book "The Man Nobody Knows" in 1924. This book served not only as a manual on how to advertise more affectively but also as an example of good advertising itself.…

William’s company, Schulton Company, in the Bronx, New York in the mid 1930s. Schulton Company, originally named the Lightfoot Schultz Company, was formed in the 1920s and sold soap and toiletries.

He met with Enid Edson, an artist, and searched for label designs through intensive research. It was only soon after when William Schultz developed the first Old Spice product. It was a female fragrance that was developed “from a memory of a rose jar his mother kept in the house, a combination of roses, cloves, herbs, and other spices, and called his new line of toiletries Early American Old Spice for Women.” While this was happening, George Schultz pursued his chemical engineering degree while continuing to make money from being a salesman for Schulton.…
