Botot toothpaste

Botot is recognized as the world's first commercial toothpaste, created in 1755 by Dr. Julien Botot for King Louis XV of France. Originally an oral elixir, it later evolved into a toothpaste paste known for its distinctive natural essences like cinnamon, ginger, and clove.

Today, the brand maintains its French heritage but manufacturing is primarily conducted in Italy. The brand has been integrated into the portfolio of Bolton-Cavaillès, which is part of the Bolton Group, a major international conglomerate based in Milan. The product remains a premium choice for consumers seeking traditional apothecary-style oral hygiene with natural botanical extracts.
