Theron T. Pond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theron T Pond (1800–1852) was the founder of the T.T Ponds company which he co-founded along with several associates in 1849.^[1]

He developed the Ponds extract, to be used as a “healing tea”, from the bark of witch hazel. This was used as a topical salve for wounds and purported remedy for numerous other ailments.^[2] Though he was the founder of the company, he could not hold on to it for long and sold it soon. The company he founded was incorporated with the name Pond's extract company in 1914. Pond's Creams is currently produced by Unilever.^[3] He died in 1852.
