Colgate is a global leader in oral hygiene, famously known for its extensive range of toothpastes and toothbrushes. The brand's origin dates back to 1806 in the United States, when William Colgate established a starch, soap, and candle business in New York City. The toothpaste that bears his name was first introduced in jars in 1873, and later in the pioneering collapsible tubes that became the industry standard.

Today, the brand is owned by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, a multinational corporation headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, New York. As a true global brand, Colgate products are manufactured in dozens of facilities worldwide to serve different regional markets. Depending on the specific market context like the UK or Europe, production often occurs in locations such as Poland, Italy, or Thailand to maintain a robust supply chain. The 'Total' sub-brand specifically represents their range targeted towards comprehensive anti-bacterial protection.
