Dettol Antiseptic Disinfectant Liquid

Dettol is one of the world's most recognized brands in the hygiene and healthcare sector. Originally developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1930s, it first gained prominence as a medical disinfectant used in hospitals for surgical procedures and to prevent sepsis during childbirth. Its primary active ingredient, chloroxylenol, became the standard for liquid antiseptics worldwide due to its effectiveness and versatility for both personal and household use.

Following its invention by Reckitt & Sons, the brand expanded globally, becoming a staple in households across nearly every continent. Today, the brand is owned and managed by Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), a British multinational consumer goods company headquartered in Slough, England. While the brand has British roots, its manufacturing is highly localized to serve different regions; for instance, the product shown in the image is manufactured in the United Arab Emirates by Green Planet Industries L.L.C. for Reckitt Benckiser Arabia FZE to meet the demands of the Middle Eastern market.

Dettol's ownership has remained within the Reckitt lineage since its inception, though the corporate structure evolved through various mergers, most notably the 1999 merger between Reckitt & Colman and Benckiser NV. The brand continues to be a cornerstone of Reckitt's health and hygiene portfolio, focusing on germ protection and sanitization products.
