Why is Dettol not in the US?

Published in Consumer Products 1 min read

Dettol, a popular antiseptic brand known for its disinfectant properties, is not widely available in the United States. This is primarily due to regulatory differences and market preferences.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stricter regulations regarding the use of certain active ingredients in antiseptic products, particularly those containing triclosan, a key ingredient in Dettol.

While Dettol is available in some US stores, it is not as widely distributed as in other countries. This is partly because American consumers tend to prefer brands that are specifically marketed and formulated for the US market.

Additionally, Dettol's marketing strategy has not been particularly focused on the US market, which contributes to its lower visibility.

However, some Dettol products are available online for those who are familiar with the brand and seek out its specific formulations.
