Another slightly more obscure ‘jewish invention’ claim related to cosmetics is that jews invented anti-aging cream.
To be specific Liam Hess for example claims that:
‘Among Rubinstein’s long list of innovations are the first moisturising treatment – her signature Valaze cream that proved such a hit in Australia – debuting in 1902, the first waterproof mascara in 1939, and the first preventative anti-ageing product in 1956.’ (1)
The problem with Hess’ claim is that it is simply nonsense.
The first specific anti-aging product (and specifically an anti-aging cream) on the market was actually ‘Oil of Olay’ – which ladies of a certain age may well remember simply as ‘Olay’ – which was first developed and then brought to market by a South African non-jewish chemist named Graham Wulff in 1952 (2) not by Helena Rubinstein in 1956!
So, no Helena Rubinstein (nee Chaja Rubinstein) – and thus jews – didn’t invent anti-aging cream either!
