Boraxo

Boraxo is an American brand of powdered hand soap.

As its name implies, Boraxo is composed largely of borax, and is marketed as a product for those who get their hands especially dirty during the course of their work, such as mechanics and farmers. Because of the product's abrasive nature, it is not suitable for those who must wash their hands with great frequency due to the potential for skin damage.fix|link=Wikipedia:Contents|text=citation needed

Boraxo began as a product of the former Pacific Coast Borax Company (later bought by U.S. Borax), and achieved notoriety as one of the sponsoring products of the long-running radio and television Western, "Death Valley Days". While 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.
