Listerine Cool Mint Antiseptic Mouthwash

Listerine is one of the world's most recognizable oral hygiene brands, with a history dating back to the late 19th century. Originally developed in 1879 by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in the United States, it was named after Sir Joseph Lister, a pioneer in antiseptic surgery. The brand was initially marketed as a general-purpose antiseptic and even a floor cleaner before becoming a staple in oral health.

Today, Listerine is owned by Kenvue, a dedicated consumer health company that was spun off from Johnson & Johnson in 2023. While the brand originated in the USA, its manufacturing is now global to meet international demand. For the Southeast Asian market, including Singapore, Listerine products are predominantly manufactured in Thailand. The brand's ownership transition to Kenvue marks a new chapter in its long history, maintaining its position as a market leader in antiseptic mouthwash through continuous innovation and specialized formulations.
