That's why, while working on a book about beauty culture in Renaissance Europe, Griffey experienced déjà vu.
She noticed that many ingredients in beauty recipes from the 16th to 18th centuries - compiled from books, cosmetic recipe collections, medical texts, health regimen manuscripts, herbals and pharmacopeias - also appear on modern beauty packaging.

The team started with what Griffey calls "sticky recipes" because they're found in many sources throughout the Renaissance period: rosemary flowers in white wine, myrrh powder with egg white, and the velvety covering of newly grown deer antlers with bean flour.
