In a time now almost forgotton women once used Goose Grease as face cream.
Indeed Queen Elizabeth 1 is recorded as using such.

WHAT HATH THEE DONE

TO THY FAIR FACE

DOTH IT NOT LOOK SAD

TIS A DISGRACE

WHY HATH THEE SMITTEN

ALL OVER YOUR PURE SKIN

GOOSE GREASE THAT ARRESTS THE AIR

WITH A WHIFF LIKE FODDER

TIS BEING PREPARED.

oH FAIR MAIDEN

GRACE THEE WITH THESE TIMES

LEAVE THE GOOSE GREASE

LEAVE IT FAR BEHIND,

I FEAR IF YOU STAND IN THE SUN

YOU MIGHT CRISP ON THE SURFACE

THY SKIN LIKE CRACKLING

WELL DONE.
