- Description
- Admiracion Laboratories, a division of Pharmaco, of Kenilworth, N.J., made this "soapless" shampoo as early as 1933 and well into the 1950s. Advertised as using no chemicals or drying alkalis, Admiracion Shampoo was made from oils and claimed to make "problem" hair lovely again. Admiracion products included a Foamy Oil Shampoo and a Shampoo Oil Treatment. This bottle probably dates between 1947 and 1954. It was endorsed by Good Housekeeping magazine and sports their "Seal of Approval."
