Description

Associate Professor Erin Griffey is recreating Renaissance beauty recipes with a team of scientists to analyse active ingredients and effectiveness.


Erin talks about how she works through thousands of beautifying recipes from ancient Egyptian sources through to the 18th century. Her research also looks at the broader societal perception of ageing for women during the Renaissance period and how it affects our attitudes towards beauty today.
