Talk:Olay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Either Oil of Ulay (GB) or Oil of Olaz (Continent). Get it clear!
Article needs some work on the brand history. Products are still sold as Olaz in Germany, for example. Leeannedy 22:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
And the lubricant is made up. Jan 1985 was before the P&G purchase of Richardson Vicks had closed. I shall Edit this weekend. Obina

[edit] What's in it?
Does anyone know what's actually in Olay, from a chemical perspective? Is the formulation publically known? -- Karada 00:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes The CTFA ingredient name (or INCI name in some countries) on the box gives all the ingredients in descending order of concentration. Same for all cosmetic products.Obina 00:12, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name related to Lanolin?
- What is the reference to the name 'oil of Olay' being related to Lanolin? Obina 21:56, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Just found a new link - has a different version of the history - some facts in this are clearly not true - (e.g Ulay being the first name) but is interesting differences mentioned.

[edit] Edit from Jayfour
I've reverting edits from Jayfour. While some may be true, some is not correct and with no sources it is difficult to fix. Please provide sources. Launch in USA was 1970, so comments on USA marketing do not apply to history 1949 to 1970.Obina 20:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Calgon Soap
Back in the 60s Calgon Soap used the slogan "Love the skin you're in" ... see [1]. Is this a rip off from Olay or what??? მშვიდობა 04:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Name of Lanolin
Well, it is true, He did come up with oil of Olay from tossing the letters in lanolin around. With regards to reference for this, well, im his grandson, and have a copy of his autobiography which for legal reasons will only be published on his death.
http://www.brandchannel.com/features_profile.asp?pr_id=4 This link is absolute incorrect. There was never any military use intended. Graham did not do any marketing, Dinah Wulff was Grahams personal secretary, she had nothing to do with advertising as that was jack Lowe's dept. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DevlinNossiter (talk • contribs) 07:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC).
