Everyone knows the name Dial Soap as a trusted standard. But did you know the company has an interesting past that made its mark on history?
Early 1940s – During WWII, to keep American uniforms free of fungus, Dr. William Gump creates a germicidal compound. This compound would become the active ingredient in Dial soap.
1948 – In the window of a drug store in the Oklahoma City test market, the sight of a female model in a bathtub gets crowds into a lather. Miss Dial stops traffic and makes local headlines.
Late 1948 ? Chicagoans discover the new smell of clean when Dial?s scent is added to the ink for a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune. The scent is accidentally added to all extra ink, keeping the city smelling fresh for a week.
1961 ? Dial becomes the first soap in space, carried by Mercury 7 astronaut Alan Shepard. The intergalactic bar is now on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
Dial Soap has been America’s trusted brand for 65 years and they continue to deliver clean, healthy skin for you and your family. Bar soap, body wash, hand soap (liquid and foaming), hand sanitizer and lotion in a variety of scents are all part of their family of products.
