Neutrogena products are vanishing. First to go that I noticed was the fragrance-free lotion that came in a big bottle. Now the green transparent shampoo is gone from most stores, but on Amazon it's selling at a greatly inflated price. I spent a bunch of money when I found that Shop'n Save was selling theirs on Amazon at a reasonable price, because most shampoos make my skin react.

I've been stocking up on the fragrance-free hand cream that comes in those little tubes, since they might disappear too. Because when some of their best products are being dropped, that may mean the whole company is going.

Another company that has shrunk and retreated to small online spaces is Crabtree & Evelyn. The light massage oils are almost all gone. The room sprays, which were really nice, are mostly gone too. I used to love one called Moroccan Spice.

Every so often, when I'm in a laundromat and see Avon catalogs, I'll look to see if they would ever bring back any of their old traditional solid perfumes. I loved Topaz.

I guess I'll have to make my own shampoo, or shave my head or something.
