Is there a toiletry you can no longer buy and miss?

You can still buy it if you want to pay the price 😂

I loved that talc -it smelt so nice.
My all time favourite shampoo was Polyherb .
It lathered up well and left my hair soft and fragrant.
When it was naturally dark it seemed to bring out the red tints .

You don’t see 4711 (eau de cologne ) so much now though I believe you can still get it. I used to love it when I was young.

Nivea in shower moisturiser, it is about £50 now on amazon.
Sun moon and stars perfume.

Ooh 4711.
My nan had that in a roller bottle and would put it on her wrists and face when it was hot out.

Olay Everyday Sunshine - a moisturiser/SPF that gave a very gradual light tan. Used to be readily available, and not too £££.
I’ve recently found it online, but it’s a lot more expensive.

I bought some in their Cologne shop a couple of years ago.

As a student and ein my early working life it was my perfume of choice. I loved, still do, the sharpness of the smell and it was inexpensive.

The mineral talc is found in the same area of ground as asbestos. Many companies no longer make products containing talc in cas of cross contamination.. I understand that in some countries people with health issues are suing the cosmetic and beauty companies.
Some manufacturers are using alternatives, but maybe they’re expensive or just not as effective.

I really miss the Oceanus range at the Body Shop - I loved all the products in that range and it seemed to be popular, but they withdrew it!

Not a toiletry, but Germolene in a little round tin. It had a lovely smell I still remember from my childhood. The current version, in a tube, smells vile.
I recall Supersoft shampoo in a single use sachet. My mum used to mix it with water before using it.

TCP!!!

Chloe Narcisse used to be my perfume, every day.
It wasn't expensive, but had a distinctive smell.

I had a look on ebay a little while back and its selling for hundreds!!

I’ve got a 4711 stick that I was going to throw out the other day as it had all dried up, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it as it still smells lovely. I used to use it when on holiday in hot places as it’s so refreshing. I miss Anne French cleansing milk, again very refreshing. I have occasionally seen it in independent chemist shops. I’ve never found anything better for removing make up or even just cleaning your face.

I like 4711 and can still buy it in my local indie pharmacy. You can also buy it on Amazon.

Its top notes are lemon, bergamot and orange. The closest I can find elsewhere is Molton Brown’s Orange and Bergamot range.

I seem to recall Quickies make up remover pads had a similar fragrance.

Morny Sandalwood soap.
I have a third of a bottle of 4711 in my bathroom. I’ve had it far too long for it to be wearable, but I love the bottle, and the colour of the box fits in with the grey and teal colour scheme!

French Fern talc, I loved it. It was cooling and fresh.

M&S Woodspice range of men's products (shower gel, body spray etc) was brilliant and I would still be using it today if it was still in production.

Yes Witzend I loved Olay Everyday Sunshine- couldn’t believe it when told it wasn’t available anymore! It gave my face a glow and moisturised my skin. Such a great name too and I honestly don’t know why they take popular items off the market.

Also pink Germoline in a tube. You can still buy a tube of Germoline but it’s white and not so good. I don’t know why it was discontinued. We still have an ancient tube of the pink stuff which we use very sparingly!

I loved Aqua Manda and Body Shop Dewberry.

Drene shampoo. Also Savlon liquid which was lovely in the bath for healing the skin.

glasses Body Shop Blueberry has just come back. My daughters bought it for me for Mothers Day . Still smells the same and inexpensive on their website.

I loved Anne French cleansing milk.

Also 10-0-6 astringent by Bonnie Belle (I think) which was like paint stripper, it was that strong.

What a trip back to the past! Mine is Camay soap.
