Accession numberPRHM-5429MakerJohnson & JohnsonPlace madeAustraliaMeasurementsH120 x W50 x D52mmHistoryWhen deodorant was first invented in the 1910s many people thought it unnecessary and even unhealthy. It was a difficult product to market because at that time, people did not talk about bodily functions including odour. The early products were powder or cream based. The active ingredient was aluminium chloride which had to be suspended in acid to remain effective. This could cause skin irritation and even resulted in clothing being badly damaged.
