They Say It Gives You Good Body…

They say that beer gives you good body, but I always thought they meant your hair. You know, bouncy, beautiful, full of body hair. Now There’s Beer to Wash Away Your Troubles and you can find out what it does to your body too! A German brewery has developed a brew you can wash with. “The beer cloaks bathers in a delicate aroma of malt.” Mmmm… just what I’ve always wanted! [via VieuxBandit]

I’ve actually owned and used beer shampoo. it rocked, and it was even in a plastic ‘beer bottle’.

although as a former bus boy and bartender in a night club, I’ve had the ‘delicate aroma of malt’ permeate every pore, and that’s not something i’d really care for. yuk.

I was just coming to post that my mother had that beer shampoo too! It was called “Body on Tap” and it did look like it was in a beer bottle. This was like, 1978. I remember I even tasted it, and it tasted nothing like beer. What dorky kid tastes shampoo??

Where can you still buy Body on Tap Shampoo, and don’t say the Country Store in Vermont or Out of Africa trading, because they don’t have it. Also, why did they take it off the market?

Hi,I loved Body on Tap shampoo.I used it in the 70’s.Does anyone know who made it? I forgot. I would please like to know. Thank you.

proctor and gamble has the rights to production now from “adcock ingram healthcare”, I contacted them, and P&G has the rights to it now, Maybe they will start producing it now, they never emailed me back, this was about 9 months ago since.

clairol was the original producers of body on tap, they had discontinued it after short 5 years because of liability with it being associated with alcohol.

I have been trying to find Body on Tap Shampoo for a long time. I did find an excellent recipe for beer shampoo that works really well and gives great body. It actually smelled like Body on Tap when I was done. It can be found on Goldmine recipes — under Beer Shampoo recipes. Boil beer down to about half its consistency and add to inexpensive shampoo — I used Suave Clarifying and a litte John Freida volume enhancing shampoo for honey/caramel colored blondes. It really works!

When I think of Body On Tap, I think of my best childhood friend, the way it smelled and when you turned the bottle upside down, the bubbles looked like a lava lamp. Very cool!

I was racking my brain to figure out what this great shampoo was that I used to use when I was younger and all I could remember was body and beer in it – so I surfed the web and yeah! Body on Tap – I have to have some again………….!!!!!

I remember this stuff, too; I don’t remember how well it worked… but would love to see it again; anybody found out if it’s out there anymore?

To find body on tap shampoo and conditioner by clairol go to http:www.satooz.com/category16_1.htm but I am still looking for the regular shampoo in that original bottle.

Did anyone ever try “Body on Tap” shampoo and the “Tame” cream rinse?
The end result was awesome!!!! Especially the fragrance!!! Does anyone know where either of these products can be purchased?

i really thought i was the only person who wanted to know where you can buy body on tap shampoo,i’ll get it by the case full if i have to!!!!!

You can order this Body On Tap Shampoo from Africa. I deal with a nice guy name Herman at Meagashoppers.com. I buy it buy the case. You can also order from the Vermont Store. I have ordered for my friends. Good luck!

I thought I was weird for even thinking of this. I search ebay all the time, they have lots of other vintage shampoos but not this one. If anyone can find it please let me know!!!

Hi,

If anyone would like to order Body On Tap Shampoo here are some contacts. I have 12 bottles arriving from South Africa shortly.
Jenni@beds-on-line.coza
Another contact which will have stock of the 2&1 in March is,
Outofafrica-win@shaw.ca
This store has the reg shampoo and conditoner. I like the 2&1. The man name Winston said he just shipped some to Ohio. Good Luck and let me know if anyone has ordered. The shampoo is still the best. Karla

I used that shampoo forever. Everyone always use to say how good my hair smelled. I wish it would come back in full production. There are beer shampoos you can make that I have seen on line, but Body on Tap smelled so good.

body on tap smelled so good!!!! and left your hair feeling clean and shiny. that and gee your hair smells terrific shampoo and conditioner. (they still have a website) but where can i get body on tap?

I am just very interested in finding and buying body on tap shampoo and conditioner, it was the only shampoo that I would use, it made you hair look and smell so great. And the smell didnt go away after just a few minutes, it lasted forever. I had gotten so many compliments on how great my hair smelled when using body on tap. So if anyone really knows where to buy it, I would really appreciate the info. Thanks

I actually still have VERY LITTLE left in the original bottle. Don’t laugh… I have used a small portion every once in a while just to get that smell in my hair. I mostly just open it up ans smell it though. I’m hoping they put it back on the market. It seems like an african company bought the rights to this shampoo, adcock Ingram healthcare, I just rifled off a letter to them letting them know that there are millions of us americans who are looking for this product and that it would be a wise decision if they re-introduced it to the United States. we’ll see.

Satooz.com has Body On Tap shampoo. I just received my order from Australia. Four 350ml bottles plus shipping to California is $69.00 (US).

IF I COULD FIND “BODY ON TAP” SHAMPOO, I WOULD ORDER IT BY THE CASE. I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS A SHAMPOO THAT MADE MY HAIR SO MANAGEABLE AND SMELLING LIKE A CRYSTAL CLEAR FRAGRANCE THAT LASTED UNTIL I WASHED MY HAIR AGAIN. PLEASE START SELLING THIS SHAMPOO IN USA AGAIN.

how bizarre to read all these posts! Normally it’s the complete opposite: we read all the amazing stuff available in USA and wish it were that easy here… I use Body on Tap and it does smell awesome etc etc but after reading today I’ll definitely enjoy it more tonight 🙂 Cheers from Sunny South Africa!

I wish I could find that shampoo. It is driving me crazy not being able to find it in the U.S.A.!!!!! Any help, I checked the Vermont store and that satooz store and came up with nothing. Anything else would be very helpful. Thank you, Jaymee

I AM SO SURPRISED TO HEAR HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL THINK ABOUT AND WISH THEY COULD FIND BODY ON TAP. I LOVED THE SMELL AND THE WAY IT MADE MY HAIR FEEL. IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THIS NEW SHAMPOO JUST COSTS MORE BUT DOESN’T REALLY DO WHAT IT SAYS.
I LOVED TAME CONDITONER TOO. THEY JUST DON’T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TO. I HOPE SOMEBODY HEARS US AND BRINGS THESE GOOD OLE FASHION PRODUCTS BACK.

I have been trying to find the old “Tame” cream rinse. Does anyone know where it can be found? I have a tender headed 3 year old grand daughter with long hair. I remember using Tame in my younger years and would like to see if it still works like it used to on tangled hair.

Does anyone remember Farrah Fawcett shampoo? From the 70’s i used to leave the smell everywhere i went! Does anyone have any ideas? Vermont coutry store is a no go.

I’ve been reading all the comments about Body on Tap shampoo, which I wanted as well, and never thought so many others would! Now I need to find my all time favorite conditioner…if anyone can help me? It was called Small Miracle, I cannot remember who made it, and it came in a blue & purplish bottle…it smelled SOOO great! I need to find out if they still make it.

Wow..I am so excited to read these posts! I thought I was the only weirdo surfing around the internet looking for things like “Body on Tap”. I actually have “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific” in Shampoo and Conditioner that are like relics. I have been saving them for years and years and only open them every so often to smell them and remember better times 🙂 I do remember TAME too! That cream rinse was awesome. How come they don’t make things like that anymore. And yes, how could I forget about Farah Fawcett shampoo?? I get goose bumps just thinking about all this! lol. I am amazed I can still find AGREE, another one of my favorites and some of the best smelling stuff…

Hey this is great now I don’t feel so geeky looking around for old shampoos I miss from my childhood. Fabrge Organic was a favorite & the green herbal essence. Im really looking for tickle deoderant haven’t seen that since 1990!

I bought some Body on Tap when I was travelling in Greece 5 years ago. I nearly stopped dead in my tracks when I saw it on a grocery store shelf (had to look twice though as the labels were all in greek, but it was the original bottle). Man, did it bring me back!!! I should have stocked up more 🙁

Please produce Body on Tap Beer Shampoo again! As Nike says: “Just Do It”…..You will be pleasantly surprised at the market you will have!

hi there! I was wondering, where I could find the old Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo, the one in the Tall Dark Green Bottle with the Hippie Girl on the front. it is my absolute Favorite shampoo!! and is EXTREMELY hard to find!! if you know anywhere where I can find this WONDERFUL shampoo, could you please Email me, I have found it on Ebay, but that’s just rarely. thanks

I thought I was the only nut in the world trying to find a bottle of Body on Tap shampoo. I loved it as a young girl. My mother loves it as well. Neither of us have been able to find it. Now I know, I need to have it shipped in from Africa. Some years ago, I also used a body wash made by White Rain. It was the most wonderful thing. I can’t find it on a shelf anywhere either. Please – anyone, let me know if you have any clues.
Thanks, Tongula

How ironic to find this website. I was just searching for my favorite shampoo from Jr HS. I was able to locate an online retailer (importer in Canada) and I just purchased 3 bottles each of shampoo & conditioner at this site:

http://www.outofafricatrading.com/

seems pricey in comparison to it’s late 70’s sticker price, but still costs less than what I’m using now (Sebastian.) I will post when it arrives 🙂 I miss that fragrance!!!

Constant & continuous failed searches for Tame over the years has led to to seek out another successful “cream rinse for thin, fine, straight, blonde hair. Yes, the color of your hair dies make a difference. You see, us natural bolndies cannot use products which are green or we turn into “green haired wonders.” Old “pearl tested” thick Prell didn’t turn our yellow heads green, but those days are long gone. Citre’ Shine INSTANT Conditioner is the closest in smell and performance, to Tame, I think hair like mine will ever hope to find again. Unfortunately, it too is now becoming harder and harder to find. I too loved Body on Tap. Keep on checking the shelves when you’re on vacation out of your own “region.”

I too have been looking for the original Clairol Herbal Essence. I found a single bottle of it at the grocery store a few years ago…with ‘discontinued’ sign under it…was a long time before that since I’d seen it. I use it sparingly!! This link was *supposed* to provide us with the ability to purchase it on line http://www.vmafullfillment.com/dms-html/Clairol/index.html When you click on ‘Add to cart’ however, says that ‘This product has been discontinued’. Grrr. I’ve a half a bottle left, better make it last me.

Just got an email this morning from Angela at Satooz.com. She has just received a shipment of Body On Tap shampoo. It should be available for sale after May 25, 2005. Check satooz.com for availability.

I too have been searching for the original Herbal Essence Shampoo.

Any ideas where it can be found. It has been discontinued on the Clairol site.

I just ordered 3 btls of Body-on-Tap shampoo, conditioner, and 2 in one from out of africa trading company. I hope it is the same stuff they made in the late 70’s early 80’s.

I know a gentleman down here who has plenty of thoose Farrah Fawcett Shampoo bottles filled. If anyones interested email me.
