Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

Colgate is one of the world's most recognized oral care brands, with a history dating back to 1806 when William Colgate established a starch, soap, and candle business in New York City. The brand introduced its first toothpaste in a jar in 1873, followed by the iconic collapsible tube in 1896. Today, the Optic White line represents their premium whitening category, utilizing advanced stain-fighting technology.

Manufacturing for Colgate products takes place globally to serve local markets; however, for the North American market (as indicated by the bilingual English/French packaging), production primarily occurs in Mexico and the United States. The brand is the flagship of the Colgate-Palmolive Company, a massive multinational corporation that remains headquartered in New York, maintaining its status as an American-owned entity for over two centuries.
