Man has been very careful about body care and cleanliness since ancient times. Those people were also interested in ideas of beauty and fashion. Historians have traced the concept of beauty treatment back to the times of the Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians are also credited with being the first to develop methods of extracting valuable ingredients from natural products and were also advanced in the beauty industry. Various ancient Unani physicians have dedicated volumes or entire books describing concepts of beauty of hair, skin and nails, namely Zakhira Sabit Bin Qurrah (836-901 AD) translation by Abu Sayeed Ayub Ali, Kitab al Mansoori by Abu Bakr M Bin Zakariya Razi (850-923 AD), Ghina Muna of Abu Al Hassan Al Qamri (9 AD), Kamil Al Sana of Abu Al Hassan Ali Ibn Abbas Majoosi (930-999 AD), Alqanoon Fil Tib of Ibn Sina (980-1037 AD) and Zakhira Khawarzam Shahi by Ahmed Al Hassan Al Jurjani (12 AD).
