Listerine Fresh Mint Mouthwash

Listerine is one of the world's most recognizable antiseptic mouthwash brands, with a history dating back to 1879. It was originally formulated by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in the United States, named after Sir Joseph Lister, a pioneer in antiseptic surgery. The brand has evolved from a general surgical antiseptic and floor cleaner into the leading daily oral hygiene product seen today.

The global footprint of Listerine is managed through various regional manufacturing hubs. For the European market, a significant portion of the production originates from facilities in Italy, though the brand maintains manufacturing presence across multiple continents to serve local markets. In 2023, the brand underwent a significant corporate transition when it became part of Kenvue, the dedicated consumer health company spun off from Johnson & Johnson.

As of 2026, Listerine remains a core asset of Kenvue. The brand continues to focus on antibacterial efficacy and oral health, maintaining its position as a household staple across the globe. Ownership is headquartered in the United States, navigating the global market through various local subsidiaries and distributors that manage regional compliance and retail availability.
