    Years ago there were many ancient ingredients for white base, but now can you say Max, Ben Nye, Revlon...

    Yes, well sort of. Its accually nightingale droppings. They have been used for hundreds of years to pale out the skin.But the white makeup is a powder diluted in water.

    I'm not sure if it's foundation. I'm pretty sure it was used as a cream because it's supposed to be good for the skin. In some countries, they think baby urine is good for the skin. Some think semen. Who knows if it actually works... I'm not one to try and find out.
