History
In 1912, a scientist named Casimir Funk gained recognition for identifying certain components in food as necessary to the body’s health and development. His term “vital-amine” which literally meant “vital substance for life” was later shortened to vitamin. Over the next century, the importance of vitamins would shape the way humans looked at nutrition, diet and health. Vitamins became an integral part of almost every therapeutic philosophy and protocol in the world. Surprisingly, it would not become truly relevant in skin care until the end of the century.
