Savlon is a globally recognized brand specializing in antiseptic and hygiene products. The brand's history is rooted in pharmaceutical innovation, originally developed by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in the United Kingdom. Over the decades, it has become a staple in first aid kits for treating minor wounds, burns, and skin irritations due to its effective active ingredients, Cetrimide and Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

Ownership of the Savlon brand is split geographically following various corporate divestments. In many markets, including the United Kingdom and Europe, the brand is owned by Thornton & Ross (a subsidiary of the German STADA Group). However, in other regions like India, the brand was acquired and is currently managed by ITC Limited. Manufacturing typically occurs in the region of sale, with facilities located in the UK, India, and other local hubs to support regional demand.
