Description :
This is a vintage metal tin for Helena Rubinstein's Valaze Theatrical Cream, a once-popular cleansing and massage cream used primarily by actresses and stage performers. The tin is circular, featuring a classic black background with cream and red accents and decorative typography. It advertises both beauty cleansing and theatrical use, indicating its versatility. The container is empty but remains in good structural condition, showing expected surface wear, light scratches, and paint loss consistent with age. It retains strong graphic appeal and would be a charming addition to a vintage beauty collection or retro decor.
