Pepsodent Xylitol toothpaste

Pepsodent is an established brand in the oral hygiene sector, famously known for its dental care products. Originally introduced in the United States by the Pepsodent Company of Chicago in 1915, the brand was built on the use of pepsin as a digestive agent to dissolve food deposits on teeth.

Today, the brand's ownership is split globally. In most international markets, including Europe and Scandinavia (where this specific Nordic-style packaging is found), Pepsodent is owned and managed by the British multinational Unilever. However, in the United States and Canada, the brand was sold to Church & Dwight in 2003. Manufacturing occurs in various regional facilities to serve local markets; for the European market, production often takes place in countries like France or Vietnam depending on the specific product line.
