Question Elisabeth Arden and black face cream?

Just read that the black face cream for the allied in war would have been by Elisabeth Arden. Is this true?( Well, they were using the latest fashion cream then....)

Default Re: Elisabeth Arden and black face cream?

Fascinating.
Small reference to Arden and rival Helena Rubinstein in wartime here.
Quote:
during the second world war. Rubinstein got the contract to produce the supply kits for the US army's desert campaign - sunburn cream, camouflage make-up and cleanser to take it off, all packed in a Helena Rubinstein box; her son, Horace, was the first to attempt to market products to men.
