Camay is the name of a scented hand and body soap, made by Procter and Gamble.

Camay is still produced although many stores in the United States do not sell it anymore, as it has fallen out of popularity in recent years. Since it is still sold abroad, in the U.S. it is often found at immigrant-oriented ethnic stores. For many years, Camay was a major sponsor of the soap opera Search for Tomorrow.

  • 1926 Camay was first introduced in the US and marketed as a "white, pure soap for women," as many soaps of the time were coloured to mask impurities.

  • 1958 Camay was launched in the UK, being one of the first beauty soaps marketed in post-war Britain.
