Carex Aloe Vera Antibacterial Hand Wash

Carex is the UK’s leading hand wash brand, famously known for being the first to introduce antibacterial liquid soap in a pump dispenser to the British market in the early 1990s. The brand has built its reputation on hygiene and protection, particularly with its signature 'Protects 2h' and 'Kills 99.9% of bacteria' claims. This specific Aloe Vera variant is a core part of its range, focusing on skin moisture and dermatological testing.

The brand is manufactured domestically in the United Kingdom, specifically produced at facilities in Manchester to ensure high standards of quality control and distribution efficiency across the UK and Europe. Over the decades, it has expanded from simple hand soaps to hand gels and wipes, solidifying its place as a household staple.

Ownership of the brand lies with PZ Cussons, a British consumer goods company with a long history dating back to its origins in West Africa and manufacturing roots in Stockport. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, PZ Cussons remains the ultimate owner and operator, managing the brand through its Personal Care division headquartered in Manchester, UK.
