Clam oil is a popular skin care product, which is a pure oil skin care product made of various minerals and vegetable oils. Using it, in the cold and dry solar terms, it can protect the skin that is often exposed to cold wind, and it can also prevent the skin from freezing and cracking and burning in the hot sun.

It seems that only clam oil is the most popular skin care product. At that time, the winter in the north was cold and dry, and people were poorly dressed to keep warm. Therefore, in the severe winter, it was common for people to freeze their hands and feet, and their hands and faces were blown and cracked. There was no other way, so they put some clam oil on them as skin care and beauty. Although clam oil is cheap, it is also beautiful. Needless to say, its skin care effect is absolutely pleasing to the eye as far as the outer packaging is concerned: the clam shell is clean, white and smooth, waxed and labeled. Many children in the city know seashells through clam oil. Girls go to school with clam oil in their pockets, and compare them between classes to see whose clam shell is bigger and whose pattern stripes are more beautiful. Clam oil represents the children's yearning for beauty and satisfaction with happiness in those days.
As for why clam shells are used as packaging containers to hold skin care oil, perhaps the most fundamental reason is poverty. Clam shell is a shellfish shell growing along the coast, and the utilization of waste can be regarded as an invention of Chinese people at that time. It's incredible to use clam shells as packaging. How many working hours and people have to work hard from its selection, classification, processing, filling raw materials, packaging and transportation. Perhaps it was because of the shortage of raw materials at that time and the low value of labor that it was possible for clam oil to enter people's daily lives.

Does clam oil have hormones?
As a popular skin care product, clam oil has the efficacy of preventing dry and chapped skin. But some people are afraid to use it because they are worried that it has hormones. Is there any hormone in clam oil? Who can use it and who can't?
Clam oil is made from a variety of minerals and vegetable oils, so it does not contain hormones and will not cause much harm to human skin.
