Palmolive is one of the world's most storied household brands, with a history dating back to 1898. Originally launched as a bar soap made from palm and olive oils by the B.J. Johnson Soap Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it quickly rose to prominence to become the world's best-selling soap by the early 20th century. The brand's success was fueled by clever marketing that associated the ingredients with luxury and ancient beauty traditions.
Today, the Palmolive name covers a vast range of products including dish liquids, shampoos, and body washes. Its manufacturing footprint is truly global, with production facilities spread across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia to serve its massive international market. The brand is currently the cornerstone of the Colgate-Palmolive portfolio, following a series of historic mergers in the 1920s that brought together some of America's oldest soap and perfumery companies.
