Ben Baron started Goodwinol Products Corporation in the late 1940’s. With an interest in chemistry from working in his father’s drug store he developed Goodwinol Ointment to aid in the alleviation of symptoms caused by demodectic mange on dogs. Over 50 years ago Mr. Baron “cooked” up Goodwinol Ointment in the kitchen of his Long Island home, and filled it into tubes in his basement.  Back then he told his young daughter his goal was to sell at least 144 of the 1 oz. tubes each month.  Now, his legacy lives on through Goodwinol animal healthcare products and through his family who continue to run the business he started.
