Bear's grease

Bear's grease was a popular treatment for men with hair loss from at least as early as 1653 until about the First World War. The myth of its effectiveness is based on a belief that as bears are very hairy, their fat would assist hair growth in others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rpharms.com/museum-pdfs/h-treatmentsformen.pdf )Nicholas Culpeper, the English botanist and herbalist wrote in 1653, in his ''The Physician's Library'', "Bears Grease staies () the falling off of the hair."〔 Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), Benedictine mystic, composer and woman of letters, also recommended the use of the substance in her ''Physica'' (repeated in her ''Causae et Curae''). A number of cosmetics companies sold bear's grease and it was a trademark of Atkinsons of London who sold "Bears Grease Pomade".
==Preparation==
Bear's grease was made from the fat of the brown bear mixed with beef marrow and a perfume to disguise the smell. By the start of the twentieth century, manufacturers were substituting pig, veal, suet, lard and beef marrow fat for bear's fat as demand exceeded the available supply of genuine bear's fat. To these substitutes they added lavender, thyme, rose essence or oil of bitter almonds for perfume. A green dye was added for the sake of appearances.〔
It was speculated that 99% of "bear grease" actually contained pig fat, and that unscrupulous manufacturers would keep a bear skin which they would occasionally attach to a dead pig carcass. The purpose of this carcass was just for display to convince their customers that they sold genuine bear grease.
