Barbicide traces its origins back to 1947 New York, where a science teacher named Maurice King first concocted the disinfectant solution that would come to represent crystal blue clean in barber and salon circles for more than half a century.

Maurice was determined to set a higher standard for sanitation, and his breakthrough formula-distributed in transparent stainless steel and glass jars, often known as wet sanitizers, would eliminate germs from combs, razors and other tools of the trade.

While other brands of salon and barber disinfectants tend to fade, the brilliant blue Barbicide always kept its color over time. Savvy barbers used this fact to their advantage, suspending combs in the stylish, blue liquid for customers to see. A recognized symbol of superior salon hygiene, Barbicide is featured in the permanent collection of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian.

Today, Barbicide is a part of BlueCo Brands and is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the products are proudly made in the USA and shipped throughout the world. BlueCoBrands also develops hospital-grade disinfectants used in a variety of industries, such as pet grooming and health clubs, as well as offering a line of consumer products for everyday use.
