Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
Nineteen thirty, and it has been in carry-ons ever since. Petrolatum and lanolin with a little salicylic acid, which is why one tube covers cuticles, shins, lips and the patch of cheek that windburns on the way to the gate. It is also unmistakably scented, and people either love that smell or cannot be near it.
