In historical aspect the Kohl is known as a cosmetic, it was
first used for its medicinal properties. The ancient Egyptians used it as eye
drops to prevent and relieve eye infections, but also protect the eyes
from strong refraction of light that is emitted by the desert sand.
Soon,
the Pharaohs and their subjects were conquered by the depth and mystery
that gave kohl to their eyes, so that women and men used the black
powder for cosmetics.
Over the centuries, kohl has continued to
be used by the Arabs - well, so that
today some men - mostly pilgrims - even wear makeup eyes with kohl.
Kohl East is the source of kohl pencils.
Kohl
is the ultimate makeup of the Berber woman and orientale. Le Kohl is a
very fine mineral powder obtained after grinding of antimony sulfide
(ore mined mountainous rocks).
Kohl can be black or gray depending on
the mixtures. The colors vary from gray to blue gray green. Once
installed it becomes black. It protects the eyes of aggression (dust, light, wind) and is held above the kohl pencils and fat.

the stick into kohl powder, put it in the inner corner of eye on the
edge of the lower eyelid and eye closed, highlight the line stretching

because due to the cleaning of the eyeball.
The usual and regular practice of laying kohl will permanently settle this problem.

In addition to being a cosmetic product, kohl has cleansing properties.
If you have sore eyes due to wind or sun, you do not wear glasses, kohl make you great service (to avoid style). It is the ultimate makeup of the Oriental woman and gives a look of deep and mysterious.
There are a lot of natural ingredients inside the kohl powder. The best mixture of kohl is the compound of antimony + sulfur + zinc.
Antimonite (Sb2S3) is the most important antimony ore. It is also found
with pyrite, cinnabar, zinc, gold, silver, galena and arsenic together.
The compound of antimonite + zinc is the kohl which is called as ismid
stone and it is the most useful one for the eye. Also, it contains Vitamin A = Retinol.
Vitamin A is very significant in adjusting the luminous sensitivity. (5)
Vitamin A is necessary for the formation of the melanocyte pigment in
the visual acuity. Zinc helps the photosensitive pigment, which boosts
the vitamin A, be formed. The melanocyte pigment is very important for the visual acuity. Vitamin A is necessary for the formation of the visual pigments. The pigment layer stores vitamin A with zinc.
Zinc reaches to the retina and choroid layer through the blood. and applied this way - can helps to the patients who have zinc deficiency in their bodies (it cause hair loss and hair weakness, unhealthy thin hair).
