Noxzema (pronounced: nox-ze-ma) is a popular brand of skin cleanser and cosmetics. It was originally developed in the early 20th century by Dr. Francis J. Townsend, a doctor based in Ocean City, Maryland.
Etymology
The name "Noxzema" comes from the phrase "no-eczema", as it was originally marketed as a remedy for eczema, a common skin condition. Over time, the brand has expanded its product line to include a variety of skin care products.
