hi, my mother always swore by johnson and johnson products, and i myself have always used them. My mother told us a story about johnson and johnson during the war, she told us that there was a shortage of johnson products during this period, but lucky for her the G I's came into the port of Gourock, Scotland regularly with much needed suplies of johnson products, shipped over from America. these products, i am told were very cheap for the girls. it cost my mother a kiss for a tin of talc! I still have 2 full tins of talc, which smell just as nice now as they did in 1940. my mother must have been a very good kisser! yours diane
