The bottle was from the 1950's. Mennen claimed that this plastic container was unbreakable. So far, so good. Mennen also claimed that the lotion would protect your hands like rubber gloves, and would also assist in healing nicks and scrapes. I remember ads in magazines where a hand with a glove was under a faucet with the water running and an ungloved hand was under the faucet with the water running. They claimed both hands had the same protection. As far as I know they stopped making this product before their products were sold to other companies.
