Early Beauty Advertising
Through pharmacists“Women buy vitamins for
beauty as well as for health because they regard the two things as inseparable.”
“Beauty is your duty”

Early Beauty Advertising Through print media
-"Now you can feed your skin"- through the medium of cod-liver oil, vitamin D "can enter the body via the skin in quantities sufficient to produce their health-giving benefits.”
Walter Eddy, June 1938

Vitamin-D Controversy in the Popular Media
“Beauty for the Asking”1939-RKO film
Starring Lucille Ball
![Page 13: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Beauty for the Asking” (1939) Jean Russell (Lucille Ball), a shrewd
capitalist, invents a face cream Resistance to the cream from
consumers because it is not turtle oil cream, which “must be good. It is the most expensive cream on the market."
Russell’s response: "Well, it's not as expensive as ours."
![Page 14: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Beauty for the Asking” (1939)Russell refuses to add vitamins to her cream: “It's alright to charge women eight times what we should, they won't buy if we don't." But that's as far as I'll go." Her reason: “Only vitamin D can be absorbed by the skin. We can't get enough of that into the cream to do any good."
![Page 15: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Vitamins Plus Advertisement- 1938
“Wake up and enjoy life.”
Avoid Avitaminosis
![Page 16: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Vitamin Plus Claims “Avitaminosis” not restricted to “poor
people.” Example of an endorsement:
People would meet her on the street and say 'You just don't look a bit well.' And it was true. Her make-up wouldn't stay put. Her hair came all out of curl ten minutes after it was set. No use to put on nail polish ... it just chipped right off again.
![Page 17: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Response to Claims for Vitamin Plus A consumer:
Was the product "good and worth the $2.75."
The FDA: “We are familiar with no scientific
evidence which indicates that deficiency of vitamins has any bearing of whether make-up will stay put, curls remain in the hair, or nail polish adheres to the finger nails.”
![Page 18: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Early Concerns How will I know that I am getting
sufficient vitamins? What is a well-balanced diet? What are the effects of modern
modes of food production and processing?
![Page 19: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Early Insurance Claims“There is one way of being of the safe
side, however--that is to add a sufficiently large factor of safety to the average minimum vitamin requirement to cover possible contingencies.”
“Therefore take your vitamin concentrates, increase your vitamin-rich foods, if you will. You are following a perfectly safe dietary insurance program.
Walter Eddy, January 1939

Miles One-A-Day Vitamins
Dispute with Food and Drug Administration
Proposed
“You will not get the greatest benefits from ‘ONE-A-DAY’ tablets unless you
take them regularly.”
![Page 21: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FDA’s Objection to Proposed Label
The label "implie[d] that it is necessary in order to fully protect the user from vitamin A and D deficiencies that the product be taken every day. This does not appear to be in accord with generally accepted scientific opinions."
![Page 22: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Miles’ Revised Label
"One-A-Day" (brand) Vitamins A and D Tablets furnish an easy, inexpensive way to insure that you get enough of these essential Vitamins. Why not put the bottle on the breakfast table as a pleasant reminder to make taking a tablet every day a part of your daily routine?”
![Page 23: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

A Consumer’s Response to the Controversy
"Yes, we have vitamin bottles on our breakfast table. But just as some days my family does not eat their 'standard American diet,' so too on many days I forget to pass out the vitamins. I think it evens itself out in the long run."
![Page 25: Rima D. Apple, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812b68550346895d8f8ac0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Recent Claims “At some point, while researchers
work on figuring out where the truth lies, it just makes sense to say that potential benefit [of vitamin supplementation] outweighs the cost.” (Time, 31 Dec. 2001/7 Jan. 2002, 158 (28): 150.)

Recent Claims “The choice to use a dietary
supplement can be a wise decision that provides health benefits.” (FDA Consumer, March-April 2002, 36 (2): 17-21.
