Wiki History
Germolene is a brand name used on a range of antiseptic products produced by Bayer. Traditionally Germolene was a thick antiseptic ointment of a distinctive pink colour, but the name is now used not only on the traditional product but also on cream, gel and liquid antiseptics and a range of other products such as antiseptic wipes.

Germolene was invented by Sir William Henry Veno ( also invented Veno’s cough cure ) who sold his company to the Beechams Company.
