Bath and Beauty Products in Star Trek

[Sumire]

As I was layering on my moisturizers this morning in the semi-arid high elevation in which I live, I started thinking about how amazing Vulcan moisturizers must be (as one does ). T’Pol has amazing skin so she probably takes amazing care of it. No doubt Vulcan skin is adapted to the Vulcan climate but it isn’t improbable that Vulcans, like desert-dwelling humans, also took notice of oils and plant extracts found in the nature around them to protect their skin from the environment.

So, if you were to find yourself at the DS9 Promenade version of Sephora, what would you be excited to find? I’d definitely be purchasing some Vulcan moisturizer myself and probably some Andorian moisturizer too because the cold can be just as brutal on skin.

 

[Commander Troi]

As a desert-dwelling human, I'll take the Vulcan stuff!

As I recall, a skin moisturizer is mentioned in the novel, The Vulcan Academy Murders. Kirk finds it while a houseguest in Sarek's home.

For a list of canon personal care products, look no further than my template "Personal Care" on MA articles about things like shampoo. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Shampoo

I would never have thought such a detailed database existed! Thank you!

It was originally going to be a category, but it actually sorts better as a template (for now)

I wonder if bath care products work/are necessary in a sonic shower?

Somewhere on 22nd century UE there were numerous billionaires living on the African continent selling shea and cocoa butter products to Vulcans.

From the first page of Chapter 24:
Kirk had gotten burned the previous day, fighting a fire at the Academy, and woke up not remembering going to bed.

A couple of snips with small, sharp scissors, and the scorched hairs were gone. There was an odorless skin oil labeled, "Recommended for Humans, Lemnorians, and Andorians; nontoxic to Vulcans," which he slathered over the burned areas of his skin, and was surprised to see it soaked right up. Perhaps he should have been using it every day in this climate. Sure enough, the fine print told him it contained a powerful sunscreen; he must remember to tell McCoy about it.

Makes you wonder wether those sonic showers are good for your skin...

What would Vulcans pay with?

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Raw materials? Money from planets that still use money?

What would Vulcans pay with?

Quatloos!

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be.

In fact, they might be better for your skin than constantly bombarding it with water....

What would Vulcans pay with?

Federation credits.

Do not go there!
