Ninako here! I just read an article about a well preserved baby. At first it looks kinda creepy but it was totally amazing. The little girl only looked like it was sleeping. Here's the article:
One of the most recent to be interred was Rosalia Lombardo, only two years old when she was embalmed in 1920. The embalming procedure has kept Rosalia looking so well preserved that she has been dubbed "Sleeping Beauty." The embalming procedure, which was lost for decades, consists of "formalin to kill bacteria, alcohol to dry the body, glycerin to keep her from overdrying, salicylic acid
to kill fungi, and the most important ingredient, zinc salts to give the body rigidity."
