Discover where a brand or product originates
Palmolive is a long-standing brand name in the personal care industry, originally rooted in the United States. Its history dates back to the B.J. Johnson Soap Company orignally established in 1864 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which introduced Palmolive soap in 1898. The soap was named for the palm and olive oils used in its production.
Over the decades, through mergers and acquisitions, the brand became a central pillar of the Colgate-Palmolive Company. Today, the product range includes shower gels, liquid soaps, and deodorants like the Happy Anti-Perspirant Roll-On pictured. Manufacturing is distributed globally across several regions including Europe, Asia, and the Americas to serve local markets.
The brand is currently owned by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, a global American consumer products corporation. Headquartered in New York City, it is one of the world's leading manufacturers of oral care, personal care, and household cleaning products. The company manages various local subsidiaries to oversee distribution and marketing specialized for different geographic territories.
