Elmex is a well-established oral care brand that originated in Switzerland. It was first developed by the company GABA (Goldene Apotheke Basel) in collaboration with the Dental Institute of the University of Zurich. The brand is particularly famous for its use of amine fluoride, a specific ingredient designed to protect against cavities. In the early 2000s, GABA was acquired by the American multinational Colgate-Palmolive, which now manages the brand's production and distribution globally.

While the brand has Swiss roots, its primary manufacturing for the European market, including the high-end Opti-Enamel (Opti-Glazuur) professional range, is located in Poland. The product shown features Finnish and Dutch labeling, indicating its distribution across various European retail markets under the umbrella of Colgate-Palmolive's extensive personal care network.
