Combe Incorporated

Combe Incorporated is an American personal-care company. It was founded in 1949 by Ivan Combe. Its products are sold in 64 countries on six continents. Ivan Combe primarily promoted the brand names instead of the company name. Combe owns the brands Just for Men, Sea-Bond, Vagisil, and Grecian Formula. 

It was the originator of the Clearasil brand in 1950, but sold the rights to it in 1961 to Richardson-Merrell.

In October 2002, Combe acquired J.B. Williams, thereby adding such longtime names as Brylcreem, Aqua Velva and Cepacol to its brand stable.

In January 2011, it sold its cough remedy and skin care business to Reckitt Benckiser, and its foot care business (including Odor-Eaters) to Blistex.
