Very interesting, I hadn't heard of Dial or Irish spring. I have sensitive skin and my mom wouldn't let me have Lux or Camay soap when I was little. The only soap that didn't aggravate my skin was Boots cold cream. The school bully once said to me "your mother buys cheap soap" to which I replied "that's coz we use a lot more of it than your household!" I caught hell for that comment🤨
@@caligulalonghbottom2629 school bullies are not remembered for their brains! Had her come uppance , was a thoroughly miserable adult that drank herself to death!
Caligula Longhbottom Seems normal to me. My mom used to buy dove, which was pretty expensive where we lived, because she didn’t want to be judged for having cheap soap in the house. She used my eczema as an excuse but I never had issues with cheaper soaps because we just put bath oil and lotion on my skin anyway.
My Granny used Dove her whole life. She had the softest most beautiful skin. Even into her late eighties ( she passed one month shy of her 90th birthday).
I remember as a kid in the 1960's my mom using the Dove soap. She was always getting trouble with infection 😷 ( women trouble) and her gynecologist told her Dove soap. He said to use it because it was mild for her skin etc. My mom said it help with her female problems. 🤷
Heidi Kersey I love dove soap. My mom started me on dove when I was a child. I have tried so many soap but always go back to dove it is the creamiest soap and softens skin
I love Dove soap also. It feel so wonderful when bathing. When my mom went through radiation for breast cancer, she had to use unscented Dove. It helped with the radiation burn and protected her markings for the treatment site.
We were not Hollywood family but we did have all of these that you're showing at one time or another while I was growing up and so you bring back many fond memories and I can even remember the smells when you hold them up so thank you for a memorable video
I think it would be really interesting if you did a video on what first class passengers on the titanic probably used and if they’re still available today
Yes! Laura please! I would love it! I know there’s even menus of meals served onboard online, I had thought planning a Titanic and or Somewhere In Time dinner party to introduce all my upcoming bridal party to each other, of course other family & friends should be invited. So perhaps you might try a few items from the menu?
I absolutely love Dr Bronner’s. Their bar soap is the best for cleaning makeup brushes and sponges. It’s really hard to find companies that are cruelty free. I would love a video featuring vintage cosmetic brands available today that are cruelty free.
Haha 31 is young for today’s standards, even 40 isn’t old. But in the 30’s, that was like mid 40’s. My great grandma was married in the 1920’s when she was around 35 ish, back then that was considered old to get married, her husband, my great grandfather was 6 years younger than her. She had my grandpa at 36 or 37. She was an attractive woman too, but funny how perception of age changes. I went way off topic lol... as for the video, I love vintage soaps!
I miss the old scent of pink Camay. Many of the soaps were made in Dayton Ohio by Hewett Soap Company where i live and was raised.Ivory,Camay and Irish Spring to name a few.Its now gone.Closed 10plus years ago.And sadly burned down last year I still use Dial.The berry scent is amazing
So, it was Lux in America then? I use Pears. And British actress Lily Langtry was paid a heap of $$ just to say she used it! That was in the 19th century. Oh wow, didn't know you'd incl it in your video...thank you!! 💕
This was fun! I remember in the '50s and '60s that we gave each other Caswell Massey and Yardley for Christmas. We loved them! Sweetheart soap was for every day, and my dad used Zest as well as some heavy-duty hand soap with pumice in it, Lava. Grandmother would use her potato peeler to scape off some Ivory and boil it in a big pot on the stove to use to launder a delicate hand wash. None of us could stand the smell of Ivory, though - "Like a gas station lavatory" as my grandmother would say. She felt the same way about Camay. Jackie Kennedy made the news when her favorite, Phisohex, was taken off the market for the same reason as Dial. It became Phisoderm. Thanks so much for this fun trip down memory lane. I really enjoyed it!
Laura what a great video this was. I am a soapaholic. Watching this was a trip down memory lane for me. I am in my fifties. Growing up my mother bought ivory soap then Irish spring for the family which I didn't care for. As a teenager in New York city I used Dove, Pears and Neutrogena. Now I use Claus Porto and Santa Maria Novella soaps-they can cost $25 USD each.
I still buy the ambered colored Pears soap. If you ever have dry or sensitive skin it's still one of the best alternatives, I promise! It's a bit of a luxury, I use up a bar in no time.
@@caligulalonghbottom2629 I think it's a hit of sandal wood, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. Neutrogena had a non-scented version, but I haven't seen it in ages.
I looked it up and it looks like the scent have changed over the years, it's suppose to be something with rosemary. I remember I though something had changed from the soap I remember from my childhood. It's years since now, and at the time I had not used it in years. It's made in India now, and if they use essential oils made there, the quality tend to be different from those made in Europe.
@@bagofhammers7479 I can't say it's that bad, but I agree, it's not the same. Lately I have used liquid Neutrogena, and something similar from L'occitane. I wonder if someone out there make soap after the original Pears method?
Nivea used to have a bar soap too. I haven't seen it in a long time. Maja is a Spanish brand that has good smelling vintage soaps. They can be found at CVS. Heno de Pravia is another vintage soap that I love. It also has a body splash with the same name.
Maja body powder and maja face powder is lovely Heno de pravia body splash is very good smell soo fresh Dove i used every single day 💖 Thank you! for mentioning that brands..
I'm from the UK. I am a little old fashioned and still use soap. For some strange reason I don't feel clean using body wash or shower gel. I use Pear's, Imperial Leather, Palmolive and ordered Dial Gold recently off of the Amazon website. Thank you Laura xx.
I remember when I was in high school that Camay was the epitome of teenage glamour - then Olay Shower Gel hit the scene, followed by Bath and Bodyworks. I miss Camay, and I heard what’s available isn’t the same as the original scent 😔
I've used that one but it cleanses almost too well bc it leaves my skin red and irritated if the lather even touches my skin more than once over. I wanted to love it but it's too harsh for my skin. ☹️
I really enjoyed this video. I've grown to love bar soap. I use bar soap for my face and body, and a lot of vintage advertising inspired my decision. I also love that so many celebrities used the Erno Laszlo method, which basically incorporated washing the face with a bar of soap. By the way, since I'm commenting, I think you're so pretty! I always admire your hair and makeup.
I use the Erno Lazlo Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar. and lately soap bars are inspiring to me also due to vintage advertising, and one of my icons ever since i was little is Audrey Hepburn. Audrey swore by the Erno Lazlo Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar. and the fact that the ingredients still remain the same in it, when i use it, i feel like my icon is right there. I wish i was alive to see her when she was still alive. I was born in 2003. so i am way way late to have seen her. but love her movies, and listening to her talk. ultimate fashion icon, and beauty. such elegance and poise in her. i dream to have the elegance she has. you should definitely give Erno Lazlo a try!
I use Pears soap bars for my face and it has greatly improved my complexion and is so gentle on my sensitive skin. I’ve noticed that It doesn’t leave my skin dry or tight but leaves it feeling clean and hydrated. I have oily skin and while using this soap my skin has became less oily. I highly recommend this soap.
I always loved Irish soap through my teen years. No matter what you will smell good for men and women. As I got older though I always choose things for sensitive skin. Dove is always good.
I love Caswell-Massey and Woods of Windsor. I have been a fan for 30 years. I have tried most of these soaps with the exception of Thayers, Vinolia and Bee and Flower and Kirks.
All my family use Dove I'm the only skin care fanatic who prefers to use actual cleansers and stuff but one time I forgot it when I came back from univeristy and I used the shea butter version and I was surprised that it didnt strip me, but that one time was more than enough for me.
Kinda Funny ' memory , with Irish Spring Soap. It must have just came out , I was about 4 years old , and I kept on seeing the TV commercial .. the cutting of the soap bar - which my Mom found several cut down soap bars in an emtpy drawer in my room ... I got a spanking ' for . Still into soaps though , I Love my RIP Mom , I forgave Her ( for being Catholic ' ) and still into making soaps . Also really enjoy watching soap makers make n to purchase from too ) I also have a warm spot for the olde ' Companies too 😀 Share the Wealth , there's enough for ALL , Humanity . I want to try ALL , the soap . Soap is such personal thing , with Family too . Getting out of bed and to work is much easier when You have a nice soap waiting for You in the shower .. 🧼 )
I have a funny memory about Irish Spring Soap too! Years ago we had an old farmhouse. In the winters, we'd pack everything away. We forgot to pack away the Irish Spring Soap near the bathtub. When we arrived in the spring, every shred of Irish Spring Soap was eaten by mice --- there wasn't even a sliver of the green soap left. The mice evidently LOVED it!
I use Pears, Jergens, Yardley, Dial and Zest and have used all of the soap in the video except Vinolia and Bee and Flowers and Windsor. Palmolive is my favorite dish soap. My mom used Dial. My grandmother used Lux dish soap and Zest. My great-grandma used Jergens. Camay was always around and smelled so good. I can't find Lux or Camay anymore.
I was in Egypt last summer and there an abundance of camay soap ..... so many different scents . I bought several.... but was disappointed. Not an original scent & just wasn’t feeling the quality. I kept the rest just for fun .
Still: a lot of times look in the Hispanic personal care products section of WalMart and such as it still seems to be widely available there. And depending on the customer base Camay will be stocked not in the general bath soap section but with other products from Mexico in small stores and pharmacies as well. I live in Tucson and have seen it several times looking for a Mexican shampoo brand that supposedly smells just like Herbal Essence from the '70s.
Americans, LOOK FOR CASHMERE BOUQUET if you can still find... Laura, my grandmother's bathroom and hallway smelled of Cashmere Bouquet soap (US). I just looked it up. Says it's been discontinued (just when vintage soaps are more popular). See if you can find any still around. It's always the cheapest. I would buy at the dollar shops just to make my bathroom smell like grandma. Here's the description: Cashmere Bouquet Bath Bar Soap has been a favorite since 1872, but it has now been discontinued. This is your last chance to get the soap that will bring back memories. Ideal for Daily Use, it leaves skin clean and fresh. Works well as a drawer sachet, too. Cashmere Bouquet is known for being triple milled to help it last a long time. Made in the USA. You will receive 2 four ounce bars.
I prefer bar soap and my guests always make appreciative comments that I have it available I love Yardley and am currently using the oatmeal version. Would like to try Vinola, Kirks and CM. Bee and Flower is pretty but drying. Thanks for the vid!
I do remember Camay and Ivory. I did not know that it was by accident they made Ivory be able to flat in water pretty cool. I guess I'm pretty old that Zest is considered old
Laura, I noticed your adorable cherry earrings! On EBay I purchased a cherry necklace that is the same shape of your earrings. It is by the designer Betsy Johnson and is so cute...affordable too! I paid $4.25 with free shipping. So enjoying your videos❤️💐❤️
Great job! Ever hear of Coast soap. I luv the scent of this soap because it is so refreshing. While we generally use Dial'a Pure and Natural soap, sometimes I like to buy a bar of Coast to leave it out for its scent.
P&G did a reissue of that original Ivory soap packaging around the turn of the millennium, probably that soap is about 20 yrs old. Thanks for the memories Laura Jean Atelier!!!
Great video!! I have a bar or two each of Lux, Camay, Palmolive, Pears, Ivory, Cetaphil, Dove, Yardley Lavender, Irish Spring, Kirks Castile, Dr. Bronner’s, and and d brand of antibacterial soap I’ve been using for my hands called “Lifebuoy”. Also, I had to order the Vinolia soap right away since I am also a “Titanic” fan.
I had my first baby in Oct. 1970. Dial soap sent a sample for all new mothers while they were still in the hospital claiming it was the the #1 soap hospitals used for newborns. I did use it myself because I had oily skin, but I believe it was too harsh for a baby.
Yes to all things vintage beauty! Love this - and I have to tell you Laura I so rarely make purchases based on influencers, but after your dusting powder video, I bought Woods of Windsor (OMG, heavenly!) and a modern one from the Greenwich Bay Trading Company called Fresh Milk (another lovely scent), so a million "thank yous" my dear!❤
Great one...l STILL use Ivory and Camay, l love these soaps. I never tried lux. Dial is good also..great orange color and smell. Laura can you do a tutorial on Arthea Franklin..The Queen of Soul. Thanks. People say she love her cosmetics!
Good morning, Laura. your videos are so interesting. love them. this one is close to my heart. I started using bar soap about months again. I love the dove soap. its so creamy, it doesnt leave a film on my skin. I stopped buying body wash, and just use the bar soap. its so fresh and clean smelling. I do love the yardly as well. thanks for all your videos. btw, your nails and make up are beautiful
Hello Laura, I love your videos!! Thank you for your wonderful inspirational style and information on these vintage products, I love them. Inna ♥️♥️♥️😊
Jlyn: they've been promoting it again because of it's germ killing properties. I've seen ads for it a couple of times in the last few weeks. It used to be a deodorant soap like Dial, a big hit in the '60s IIRC.

Yardley’s Lavender is the best scent but white Dove bars have the best feel.
Yes! I love that lavender soap and where I live it’s $1 at the dollar tree! It’s so awesome and last forever!!
Stephanie Keith Pear is very moisturing and is sold at the dollar tree for $1. I purchase multiple bars at a time.
100!% I can't use any other!
Thank you for your heart warming Channel. Both you and your information, are beautiful! God bless you, Dear♥️

Vinolia soap
I love Dove soap. The only one that doesn't dry my skin out.
Yes
Thank you for showing me all the soap, I like the daily soap.
Dollar General and Dollar Tree sells Yardley soaps in several scents for $1. I’ve been using Yardley soap since the 1970’s...love it!
They sell Pears soap too

yes i agree, i am in my 50s but people do not believe my age. I did use Lux when i was a child too and yardley's lavender talcum
I miss the old scent of pink Camay.
Many of the soaps were made in Dayton Ohio by Hewett Soap Company where i live and was raised.Ivory,Camay and Irish Spring to name a few.Its now gone.Closed 10plus years ago.And sadly burned down last year
I still use Dial.The berry scent is amazing
I order the pink Camay on line. I just received 24 bars, storing them in my linen closet, smells so good.
So, it was Lux in America then? I use Pears. And British actress Lily Langtry was paid a heap of $$ just to say she used it! That was in the 19th century. Oh wow, didn't know you'd incl it in your video...thank you!! 💕
This was fun! I remember in the '50s and '60s that we gave each other Caswell Massey and Yardley for Christmas. We loved them!

Thanks so much for this fun trip down memory lane. I really enjoyed it!
In addition to your fashion videos, these (vintage products you can still buy today) are my favorites!
The vintage packaging of Ivory was used until the 80's for that big size. So that's why it has a barre-code.
Laura what a great video this was. I am a soapaholic. Watching this was a trip down memory lane for me. I am in my fifties. Growing up my mother bought ivory soap then Irish spring for the family which I didn't care for. As a teenager in New York city I used Dove, Pears and Neutrogena. Now I use Claus Porto and Santa Maria Novella soaps-they can cost $25 USD each.
I worked for Caswell Massey, and they had some of the most amazing products.
Kim Hinson I loved Elixir of Love. In the beginning I bought just for the cobalt blue packaging. Then I became obsessed with the fragrance.
Caswell Massey is terrific...and they are the oldest perfumery in America, going back to the 18 th century, I think.
Love the Caswell Massey products ... they're hard to find though.
Hi Laura I love the soap caress I remember my grandma used it all the time reminds me of her.
I still love the scent of the pink Camay soap :)
I still buy the ambered colored Pears soap. If you ever have dry or sensitive skin it's still one of the best alternatives, I promise! It's a bit of a luxury, I use up a bar in no time.
I used to use it too. It has a bizarro scent though.

Heno de pravia body splash is very good smell soo fresh
Dove i used every single day 💖

Nivea still sells bar soap, at least in Europe. But it's pH is too high to shower with it. As a hand soap for really dirty hands it's ok.
I love Maja so much!!
I love that aveeno soap! It's the only drugstore bar that has a low ph, so glad to know it's vintage!
I'm from the UK. I am a little old fashioned and still use soap. For some strange reason I don't feel clean using body wash or shower gel. I use Pear's, Imperial Leather, Palmolive and ordered Dial Gold recently off of the Amazon website. Thank you Laura xx.

🧼 🐙🌺yes, bar soap forever!!
You can buy Vinolia soap through Vermont Country Store as well, although it looks like having them ship outside the US is not certain.
Girll, this eyeshadow look though😍😍😍
It’s the new vintage doll frosted eyeshadow
I love love dr bronner tea tree oil soap
I love avon vintage soaps😍😍😍
Camay , i remember , and i still Use oil of olay , along with dove soap , and yardley too , infact most of these soaps ive used
The Vinolia soap is available online from the Vermont Country Store.
I use Dove daily and have for years
I remember when I was in high school that Camay was the epitome of teenage glamour - then Olay Shower Gel hit the scene, followed by Bath and Bodyworks. I miss Camay, and I heard what’s available isn’t the same as the original scent 😔

Dr Brommers is located right near where I live in California. I never knew until you said it was located in Vista, CA. Whaaat?!
I use Yardley oatmeal soap. The lavender is nice too. ❤
Look up Mary Quant make up Laura!!! My old fav and can't find any where❣❣❣❣❣
At 40 im new to Dove sensitive. My body acne prone skin loves loves loves this delightful find!
LOL never had any kind of soap other than Zest growing up at home. You were squeaky clean too!😍
"Manly yes, but I like it too!"
"¡Varonil sí, pero a mí me gusta también!"
Thank you for your heart warming Channel. Both you and your information, are beautiful!

You read my mind! I have been on the hunt recently for some vintage soaps, thank you!
Mother bought Zest all through the 60s. I believe I once had my mouth "washed out with" Zest. The things we endured back then!
All my family use Dove I'm the only skin care fanatic who prefers to use actual cleansers and stuff but one time I forgot it when I came back from univeristy and I used the shea butter version and I was surprised that it didnt strip me, but that one time was more than enough for me.
I've been looking for something like this. Thank you so much for the info.
My grandma used pears . I myself like yardly and. Camay
I switched over to using soaps to be a bit more environmentally friendly and since I'm a big history nerd, I love this video. 🥺
In Europe there's also Nesti Dante soaps since 1945. Made in Florence Italy. One of my personal favorites.
I love those. Especially the cypress, I use the wrappers to scent my cabinet. They last surprisingly long too.
I loved pears soap!
I remember my family buying all these soaps one time or another. I buy some of them now. All I need now is to stock up on Camay.
Thank you for all your research that you bring to us💙

Laura, my grandmother's bathroom and hallway smelled of Cashmere Bouquet soap (US). I just looked it up. Says it's been discontinued (just when vintage soaps are more popular). See if you can find any still around. It's always the cheapest. I would buy at the dollar shops just to make my bathroom smell like grandma. Here's the description:
Cashmere Bouquet Bath Bar Soap has been a favorite since 1872, but it has now been discontinued. This is your last chance to get the soap that will bring back memories. Ideal for Daily Use, it leaves skin clean and fresh. Works well as a drawer sachet, too. Cashmere Bouquet is known for being triple milled to help it last a long time. Made in the USA. You will receive 2 four ounce bars.
I prefer bar soap and my guests always make appreciative comments that I have it available I love Yardley and am currently using the oatmeal version. Would like to try Vinola, Kirks and CM. Bee and Flower is pretty but drying. Thanks for the vid!
Born and raised in milwaukee!
I do remember Camay and Ivory. I did not know that it was by accident they made Ivory be able to flat in water pretty cool. I guess I'm pretty old that Zest is considered old
Hello. I know the soap you show in the video. I'm Spanish. My grandma used soap "Maderas de Oriente" and "Maja". 💖. I like yours videos. 😘😊
Maja soap was sooooo popular.
A trip down memory lane❗️ 🧼
You forgot a very nice soap company called Roget & Gallet that Is sold in Greenwich village
Good point! I loved the sandalwood soap but it's hard to find. Where in Greenwich Village is it sold?
pleaseee make a Zsa Zsa Gablor fave products video
Thanks for sharing ! Avon soaps 🧼 were the best ones back them I think! 💗
Laura, I noticed your adorable cherry earrings! On EBay I purchased a cherry necklace that is the same shape of your earrings. It is by the designer Betsy Johnson and is so cute...affordable too! I paid $4.25 with free shipping. So enjoying your videos❤️💐❤️
Love way Irish Spring smells....Aveeno great too...
Great job! Ever hear of Coast soap. I luv the scent of this soap because it is so refreshing. While we generally use Dial'a Pure and Natural soap, sometimes I like to buy a bar of Coast to leave it out for its scent.
Yes love it
Ivory and camay are the truth! I use ivory all the time.
P&G did a reissue of that original Ivory soap packaging around the turn of the millennium, probably that soap is about 20 yrs old. Thanks for the memories Laura Jean Atelier!!!
I love the yardley charcoal soap.
I love love this look on you! Colorful makeup suits you :)
YOU LOOK GORGEOUS IN THAT VINTAGE DOLL ELIZABETH LIPSTICK !!!
@laura I did buy the Vinolia soap thanks to this video and it’s wonderful! Thanks!
This was terrific
My favorite episode so far.
I love that we can still buy this stuff!!!
Great video!! I have a bar or two each of Lux, Camay, Palmolive, Pears, Ivory, Cetaphil, Dove, Yardley Lavender, Irish Spring, Kirks Castile, Dr. Bronner’s, and and d brand of antibacterial soap I’ve been using for my hands called “Lifebuoy”. Also, I had to order the Vinolia soap right away since I am also a “Titanic” fan.
I had my first baby in Oct. 1970. Dial soap sent a sample for all new mothers while they were still in the hospital claiming it was the the #1 soap hospitals used for newborns. I did use it myself because I had oily skin, but I believe it was too harsh for a baby.
I use IVORY soap to wash cloths or dishes if i run out of detergent
Yes to all things vintage beauty! Love this - and I have to tell you Laura I so rarely make purchases based on influencers, but after your dusting powder video, I bought Woods of Windsor (OMG, heavenly!) and a modern one from the Greenwich Bay Trading Company called Fresh Milk (another lovely scent), so a million "thank yous" my dear!❤
Great one...l STILL use Ivory and Camay, l love these soaps. I never tried lux. Dial is good also..great orange color and smell. Laura can you do a tutorial on Arthea Franklin..The Queen of Soul. Thanks. People say she love her cosmetics!
Good morning, Laura. your videos are so interesting. love them. this one is close to my heart. I started using bar soap about months again. I love the dove soap. its so creamy, it doesnt leave a film on my skin. I stopped buying body wash, and just use the bar soap. its so fresh and clean smelling. I do love the yardly as well. thanks for all your videos. btw, your nails and make up are beautiful
Hello Laura,
I love your videos!! Thank you for your wonderful inspirational style and information on these vintage products, I love them.
Inna ♥️♥️♥️😊
Wonderful video..informative and fun to watch
Williams Mug Soap!
Kirks and Bronners! I use Bronners Vadtilke diluted to do Nadia house cleaning. Kirks is great for guests because it’s mild .
Safeguard was an older brand too. I found some in a dollar store once haven’t seen it since.
Jlyn: they've been promoting it again because of it's germ killing properties. I've seen ads for it a couple of times in the last few weeks. It used to be a deodorant soap like Dial, a big hit in the '60s IIRC.
