Green Cross traces its origins to 1952, when Chinese immigrant entrepreneur Co Ay Tian established Green Cross Inc. in the Philippines. At a time when hygiene awareness was still developing, the company introduced Green Cross Rubbing Alcohol, which became one of the country’s earliest mass-market antiseptic alcohol brands. Through continuous advertising, nationwide distribution, and consumer education on sanitation, Green Cross Alcohol became a household staple. The company later expanded beyond healthcare products into household disinfectants, fabric care, and personal care, most notably with the introduction of the well-known Zonrox bleach brand. [3]

Green Cross positions itself around the importance of everyday hygiene and disease prevention. Its products are designed to help consumers maintain cleanliness at home, in schools, workplaces, and healthcare environments. The company’s vision is:

“Better Households. Better Lives. For Generations.”

Its quality philosophy emphasizes:

• Excellence
