Pepsodent Toothpaste

Owner:Unilever PLC (United Kingdom)
OriginUSA
Manufactured:Multiple countries

Pepsodent is a long-standing brand of oral care products, primarily known for its toothpaste. The brand was originally created by the Pepsodent Company of Chicago in the United States in the early 20th century, specifically formulated with 'pepsin' (hence the name) to help break down food deposits on teeth. Over the decades, it became one of the most recognized toothpaste brands globally through innovative marketing and distribution.

Today, the brand's ownership is split geographically. In most international markets, including Europe and Scandinavia (as seen in the image containing Swedish/Danish text), Pepsodent is owned and manufactured by the British multinational Unilever. The manufacturing process takes place in various locations across Europe and Asia to serve regional markets. In the United States and Canada, the brand rights are held by Church & Dwight. This specific product displays the Unilever logo and a barcode (6411000004303) typical for Northern European markets.
