What hides behind snake oil?
New arrival on the market of natural cosmetics, snake oil arouses interest and comments. Despite its denomination, this product is not made from a snake. It is actually the combination of several vegetable oils. Then why such a name?

In the face of this nascent love, the wrath of Athena transforms the sublime jellyfish’s hair into serpents.
