Radium's popularity in France survived both World Wars and was used to promote a line of beauty products created by a man named Alexis Moussalli. He invented a line of cosmetics meant to give the user a healthy glow. However, as the name of the brand suggests, these products contained thorium and radium and would have been hazardous to apply daily.
