Zendium is a well-known brand of oral care products, particularly recognized for its toothpaste that uses natural enzymes and proteins to strengthen the mouth's natural defenses rather than relying on harsh antibacterial agents. It was originally developed in Scandinavia and has a long history of being recommended by dental professionals for its mild yet effective formula.

Historically, the brand was a staple of the Dutch-British multinational Unilever. However, in recent years, Unilever has divested several of its smaller beauty and personal care brands. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand is part of the Elida Beauty portfolio. While Elida Beauty was a subsidiary of Unilever, it was acquired by the American private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners. This transition marks a shift in ownership from a global FMCG conglomerate to a specialized investment firm focused on consumer brands.

Manufacturing for Zendium typically takes place in European facilities, with a significant amount of production occurring in France to serve the European market, including Norway (nb-NO). The brand continues to focus on its clinical heritage while operating under its new corporate umbrella.
