Savlon

Savlon is an antiseptic brand that contains two antiseptics, cetrimide and chlorhexidine gluconate.[1] These agents were discovered and first developed by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI).[2] On May 22, 1992 Johnson & Johnson announced that it has acquired Savlon OTC brands from ICI.[3]

FMCG-to-tobacco-to-hotels giant ITC acquires Savlon along with Shower To Shower brands from Johnson & Johnson in India.[4]

It is used as a 1–3 % solution for cleaning roadside accident wounds.[5]
