Listerine Teeth and Gum Protection mouthwash

Listerine is a globally recognized brand of antiseptic mouthwash. It was first formulated by Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in 1879 in the United States, named after Joseph Lister, a pioneer in antiseptic surgery. The brand was originally owned by Lambert Pharmacal Company.

Today, Listerine is manufactured in multiple strategic locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. While originally an American invention, its production is distributed across various international facilities. Modern ownership lies with Kenvue, a dedicated consumer health company that was spun off from Johnson & Johnson in 2023. Kenvue continues to manage the brand's global presence from its headquarters in the United States, maintaining its position as a market leader in oral hygiene products.
