Other Chloraseptic formulas are based on benzocaine.

The product was originally made by MortonNorwich, which was later bought by Richardson-Vicks, which merged with Procter & Gamble in 1985. The product was sold to the independent company Prestige in 1999. Today, this product is owned by the Prestige division Medtech.
