Boraxo is an American brand of powdered hand soap.
As its name implies, Boraxo is composed largely of borax, and is marketed to those who get their hands especially dirty during work, such as mechanics and farmers.
Boraxo began as a product of the former Pacific Coast Borax Company (later bought by U.S. Borax), and became known as one of the sponsoring products of the long-running radio and television Western, Death Valley Days. While future President Ronald Reagan was host of this program, he frequently did commercials for it, including one at his ranch involving his family.
As of 2006, Boraxo is manufactured and marketed by the Dial Corporation.
Dial was purchased by Henkel, a German Company.
