Shampoo used to even have an excise tax, was considered a luxury I guess. All cosmetics had a excise tax until sometime in the mid to late 60’s, I can’t remember exactly when the excise tax was dropped. The excise tax was 10%, so on a $2.00 item there was and additional $0.20, over and above the state sales tax. But I do distinctly recall the labels on the products, which had the price and the excise tax amounts clearly displayed. The Breck Shampoo and Creme Rinse bottles immediately come to mind.
