Odol Mouthwash

Odol is one of the most iconic brands in the field of oral hygiene, with a heritage dating back to the late 19th century. Developed in 1892 in Dresden, Germany, by the entrepreneur Karl August Lingner, it revolutionized the market as the first concentrated liquid mouthwash. The brand became synonymous with fresh breath and oral health across Europe, famously recognizable by its unique curved glass bottle designed for precise drops.

Throughout the 20th century, the brand underwent several ownership changes as the pharmaceutical industry consolidated. Today, Odol is owned by the British multinational consumer healthcare giant Haleon (formerly the consumer healthcare division of GlaxoSmithKline). While the brand remains deeply rooted in the German market with significant production in Germany, it is a global brand under Haleon's extensive personal care portfolio.
