Ashton & Parsons

Ashton & Parsons is a heritage consumer healthcare brand primarily known for its traditional herbal teething remedies for infants. Founded in 1867 by Thomas Ashton and William Parsons, the brand has maintained a significant presence in the United Kingdom's pediatric market for over 150 years. Its flagship product, Ashton & Parsons Infants' Powders, utilizes a tincture of Matricaria (German chamomile) to provide symptomatic relief for teething pain and associated discomfort. The brand was acquired by Alliance Pharma in 2011, which has since expanded the product line to include modern formats such as teething gels. Ashton & Parsons remains a leading name in the over-the-counter infant care sector, focusing on gentle, traditional formulations.
