The Woodbury Soap Company was an American manufacturer of personal care products, such as cold cream, facial cream, facial powder, after-shave talc and ear swabs. Founded in Albany, NY, in 1870, it became a subsidiary of the Andrew Jergens Co. in 1901. Woodbury soap continued as a brand into the 1950s, and was sponsor to popular radio programs in the 1930s and 1940s.
The John H. Woodbury company was established in 1870 in Albany, NY, by a dermatologist. The company was still in New York in 1901, making and retailing soap, when the Andrew Jergens Co. (now a subsidiary of Kao) purchased the company which owned the soap brand, and moved the headquarters to Cincinnati, Ohio.
