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

Another vote for Germolene.... old formula as in pink ointment not cream.

Linco beer shampoo in the cute little barrel and Avon’s Pretty Peach perfumed cream in its cute little basket of peaches. ❤️

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

My nan would use it on me if we were together in hot weather - it seemed to work.

Breck Shampoo. I used it all the time in the sixties. Got married, moved abroad and couldn’t get it.

Mystere de Rochas

Most of my favourites have already been mentioned...Sea Jade, Kiku, Aqua Manda, Apple Blossom but I also loved Body shop's Ananya. Other smells I have fond memories of are the little wet wipe pads called Quickies and Valderma soap for my spotty teenage skin

Nivea talc or Imperial Leather. Apparently it’s going to kill us all. I’m now forced to use Johnson’s baby powder, a different smell entirely. I should say I’ve only ever used it sparingly but I don’t ever feel properly dry without it.

The one I miss the most is Desert Flower Talc by, I think it was Shilton. I saw it a while back but it was expensive on EBAY. One sniff of that would take me back to my teenage days. DODO I’ve just bought Roger and Gallet’s Carnation soap and also their Sandlewood soap. I still buy and use Cabochard, Elizabeth Arden’s Blue Grass Perfume, Tweed, and 4711 is everywhere to buy. Does anyone remember Californian Poppy perfume or the French Pink gift sets by French of Bond Street.

Yes grrmolene nothing like it used to be. Probably in tube to reduce risk of spreading infection

Body shop tea rose perfume oil. One sniff and I would be 19 again, loving life as a student on the early 80’s. Also body shop glycerine and oatmeal facial lather. I used it daily for many years. Body shop all in one face base compact. So sad when I could no longer buy these products. Body shop has really gone down hill over the last few years.

I loved the Original Source shampoos in the late 90’s. The tea tree one really made my scalp tingle. The orange and lime ones had a fantastic fruit fragrance that I’ve never found replicated in any other products.

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.
You can get Olay Complete Everyday moisturiser with a tint/SPF in Superdrug. Apparently it’s not available to order but if they don’t have it in store you can order to pick up in store. I got some the other week.

Does it feel/look similar to Olay Everyday Sunshine? I’m another who used it for years and saddened to find that it’s no longer available in stores

This thread has been such a walk down memory lane. I remember so many of the items mentioned.
Particularly 4711 that an aunt used to wear and L'Aimant that I still wear occasionally.
I took used to send for Lincoln shampoo sachets that really used to give my hair such a lovely shine.
The things I miss and would still buy if I could get them are Helena Rubinstein's Apple blossom scent - heavenly (does anyone know of any other perfume that smells like that?)
and also Roger and Gallet's Oeillet soap with its divine carnation scent. Can't find that any more.

One they DO still do, but is worth a mention, is Badedas bath foam.I love it and it smells like christmas trees.😊☺️

You can still get Pears soap but they dont do beauty comp.

And my mum got pears soap for me and i entered miss Pears comp when i was 9.(came second)😕

My gran bought me my first bottle of ulay in a pink bottle for my 16 th. Birthday have use ulay ever since.

Ponds cold cream, my mum& sister used it.

The Body Shop used to do a daffodil scented range which I adored, sadly it was discontinued many years ago and now of course the company itself is no more 😳

And yes Boots still do all the Fenjal, including a deoderant spray.I got the soap bar before christmas to treat myself, but it smelled of nothing much at all really 😐The other things in the range are still like they were.

Boots seem to have the in shower moisturising just in the Mens stuff now,(just had a look online) but no one would know would they😁

I always loved the smell of Fenjal bath foam and discovered recently that I can still get it on Amazon. As were are having a bath installed soon I think I will order some.

Fenjal's available from major supermarkets, too, TIMN1953. I use it all the time - lovely scent.

Ive got some Nivea in shower moisturiser in bathroom.Im pretty sure i got it in Boots.🤔

Cold cream, Vitapointe, original Dove shower cream plus several make-up favourites.

I was a bit of a hippy and remember using patchouli oil. YSL Opium perfume has that as a base and I still like it.

Andrew’s liver salts .
You cannot buy it anymore.
And not sure why it was discontinued.

I loved the body shop Oceanus range and was most annoyed when it was also discontinued.
