Gillette Shaving Foam or Gel

Broadly recognized as a world leader in grooming, the product identified by this barcode belongs to the Gillette brand family. The barcode prefix '4011700' suggests an association with Procter & Gamble’s distribution and manufacturing network in Germany, although Gillette products are manufactured in multiple locations worldwide, including the United States, Poland, and Brazil, to serve regional markets efficiently.

Gillette was founded by King C. Gillette in 1901 in Boston, Massachusetts. Over the decades, it became a pioneer in safety razors and shaving preparations. In 2005, the brand was acquired by Procter & Gamble (P&G) in a landmark merger. Today, Gillette remains a core brand under P&G's Grooming segment, benefiting from the parent company's global supply chain and extensive research and development capabilities. Branding and chemical formulations often vary slightly by region but maintain a consistent global quality standard.
