Bismuth Sulfate Agar

                              

Bismuth has been known since ancient times, although it was often confused with lead, tin, or antimony due to their similar appearances and melting points. Archaeological evidence suggests that bismuth compounds may have been used in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia for cosmetics and pigments. 

Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), also known as bismuth white, is used in cosmetics as a pearlizing agent and pigment, imparting a pearlescent or shimmering effect.

 It was historically used as a cosmetic in ancient Egypt and continues to be used in various cosmetic products like eyeshadows, lipsticks, and nail polishes.
