Grisly Cosmetics

A Peruivan gang made a "wrinkle cream" from human fat collected from scores of murdered peasants.

"The gang have been nicknamed the Pishtacos after the ruthless assassins of indigenous Quechua legend who ambushed solitary victims and drained their fat as an offering to gods to make the land fertile. Another version depicts them as cannibal bandits who ate the skin and sold the fat. The stories date back to before the European conquest."
