King Research, Inc

Manufacturer of BARBICIDE and other salon and spa professional only sanitation and disinfection products.

Barbicide® traces its origins back to 1947 New York, where a science teacher named Maurice King first concocted the disinfectant solution that would come to represent crystal blue clean in salon circles for more than half a century. Maurice was determined to set a higher standard for cleanliness, and his breakthrough formula-distributed in transparent stainless steel and glass jars-would eliminate germs and fungus from combs, razors and other tools of the trade. While other brands of disinfectants tend to fade, the brilliant blue Barbicide® always kept its color over time. Savvy barbers used this fact to their advantage, suspending combs in the stylish, blue liquid for customers to see.
