Listerine is a globally recognized brand of antiseptic mouthwash with a history dating back to the late 19th century. Developed originally by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in 1879, it was named after Sir Joseph Lister, a pioneer in antiseptic surgery. The brand was popularized by the Lambert Pharmacal Company and became a household staple for oral hygiene.
Ownership of Listerine transitioned through several pharmaceutical giants over the decades. It was part of Warner-Lambert, which later merged with Pfizer. In 2006, Pfizer sold its consumer healthcare division, including Listerine, to Johnson & Johnson. Most recently, following a corporate reorganization, the brand is now owned by Kenvue, a dedicated consumer health company that spun off from Johnson & Johnson in 2023.
Manufacturing of Listerine occurs in various locations worldwide to meet regional demand. Significant production facilities are located in the United States, Italy, and Thailand. Depending on the specific market and SKU, the product is packaged to comply with local regulations while maintaining the signature formula and branding that has defined the product for over a century.
