About the project

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Renaissance Goo: Historic Personal Care Recipes and Soft Matter Science is a 2-year research project lasting from September 2021-August 2023 funded by a Royal Society Apex Award. This award allows Professor Jill Burke, a historian of the body, to work with Professor Wilson Poon, a soft-matter scientist to investigate early modern personal care recipes.

The project will focus on recreating skin care recipes from an Italian text first published in 1562, Giovanni Marinello’s Ornamenti delle donne (‘Adornment of Women).
