Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash

Listerine is an American brand of antiseptic mouthwash introduced in 1879 by chemist Joseph Lawrence in St. Louis, Missouri. The brand was originally marketed by the Lambert Pharmacal Company, which later became Warner-Lambert. In 2006, Johnson & Johnson acquired Pfizer's consumer healthcare division, including Listerine. In 2023, Johnson & Johnson spun off its consumer health division into a new company named Kenvue, which now owns the Listerine brand. Kenvue is headquartered in the United States and operates globally, manufacturing Listerine products in multiple countries to meet regional demand. The brand is known for its antiseptic mouthwash, formulated with essential oils like eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate, and thymol, designed to kill germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gingivitis. Listerine offers various flavors and formulations, including alcohol-free options, catering to diverse consumer preferences.
