Carex Hand Soap

Carex is a leading brand in the personal care sector, particularly renowned for its range of antibacterial hand soaps. Initially launched in the 1990s, the brand revolutionized the liquid soap category by being one of the first to offer effective antibacterial properties for consumer use. Over the years, Carex has expanded its portfolio to include hand sanitizers and shower gels, maintaining a focus on hygiene and skin protection.

The manufacturing of Carex products primarily takes place in the United Kingdom, specifically at facilities in the North West of England, like Agecroft. However, due to its global reach and the logistical requirements of its parent company, production can occur in other regional hubs to serve local markets. The brand is synonymous with the 'Protect, Care, and Restore' philosophy, ensuring dermatological safety for users worldwide.

Carex is owned by PZ Cussons, a major British consumer goods company with a long history of international trade. PZ Cussons maintains the brand's position through continuous innovation in bottle sustainability and ingredient efficacy. As of 2026, Carex remains a flagship brand for the company, headquartered in Manchester, UK, and distributed through various local subsidiaries depending on the region.
