Eau de driftwood
Eau de driftwood A Japanese company has introduced a cosmetic line
that uses an essence extracted from driftwood. The essence is taken
from driftwood that is fished out of a reservoir at one of the
company's power plants, and is apparently a rich moisturizer. The
cosmetic line includes eight facial creams and lotions that use the
driftwood essence. The company, Electric Power Development Co., has
been looking for a use for the driftwood that often clogs water
ducts in the plant reservoir. MARCH 5, 2001
