Venetian ceruseVenetian ceruse, also known as "spirits of Saturn", was a skin whitening cosmetic used in the 16th century with a base of white lead. It was highly prized and widely used (by Queen Elizabeth I of England, among others),[1] even though it was known that extensive use would cause lead poisoning, leading to severe sickness or even death.[2] ReferencesSee alsoCategories: Inorganic pigments | Lead compounds |
