Ancient Love Rituals – Modern Cosmetics

Myths, rituals, and sexuality were almost inseparable in antiquity. Cognis and Laboratoires Sérobiologiques invite you to travel back to these days and explore how love was celebrated and how modern cosmetic recipes could have supported ancient love rites. You can revisit these rituals and let them inspire fresh thoughts on the sensual function of cosmetics and their unspoken influence on human relationships. Learn about sensuous worship where cosmetics are part of rituals which stir the senses and honor the spiritual dimension of love. This dimension can inspire cosmetics that go beyond their functionality and deliver additional emotional experiences.  "Daughters of Persuasion"  is an example of an ancient love ritual

Daughters of Persuasion

In ancient Babylonian temples priestesses worshipped the Great Goddess of love by offering themselves to strangers they randomly met in Aphrodite's temple. They were not acting as in a human relationship, but as incarnations of the holy deity, as vehicles of the divine energy. But this sacred act they abandoned themselves and achieved spiritual fulfillment that was more important than bodily satisfaction or even human love. A priestess could have entrapped men with beautiful, luscious lips, which made her as irresistible as Aphrodite.
“Divine Kiss” our voluminizing lip gloss bestows women with a genuine attraction almost beyond human beauty. With “Mystical Aura” a conditioning spray giving her protective sheath, priestesses could have invited men into the temple of their virginity.
