Gold Bond

Gold Bond is a brand of over-the-counter skin care products produced by Chattem of Chattanooga, Tennessee, now a subsidiary of the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi.

Gold Bond is used to curb moisture, control odor, and soothe minor skin irritations, notably jock itch.

The formula was purchased by Arthur W. Guilford in 1908, who established the Gold Bond name and began making the product in Fairhaven, Massachusetts.

Timothy F. Shea, who in 1930 joined what was then "The Gold Bond Sterilizing Powder Company", eventually rose to general manager and treasurer, and later took over as sole owner.

[5] To this point, the brand had remained a regional product of New England;[5] soon after its purchase, Himmel began a national marketing campaign which saw sales increase by over 70% annually.
