Colgate is manufactured by Colgate-Palmolive. Its history is not as clear-cut as one would expect. What starts off as a soap and candle shop in 1806, eventually led to Palmolive’s creation. Only in 1857 the company starts to organise itself under Colgate. While this is happening, simultaneously the company continues to produce household items like starch, and even perfumes in the background. Only in 1873 does the company release its first flavoured-brand toothpastes in jars. This gives us a glimpse of the modern Colgate toothpastes. What’s more is that only in 1928, did these two companies (Colgate and Palmolive – which created the soaps and household items) officially come together.

Colgate-Palmolive manufactures and distributes household, health care, personal care and veterinary products. Colgate is undoubtedly a global household name, and it is only fitting seeing as they are one of the world’s leading toothpaste manufacturers. Colgate’s mission is to create a healthier planet by helping create healthier smiles.

Once we understand that our oral health affects our gut health, which affects our overall health, we can see how important daily brushing becomes. This company wants to empower people to take control of their oral health by making such information and products accessible.

They have taken this a step further and crafted a line of toothbrushes for every kind of consumer. The Colgate Double Action Toothbrush is well-rounded with medium bristles, for an effective clean that is not too abrasive or too gentle on your teeth. The brush features V-shaped bristles that gently penetrate deeper and clean between teeth. A bigger head provides a broader brushing surface to help make tooth cleaning fast and effective. Also, this is the most popular and affordable option for many users.

The Colgate Double Action Toothbrush Tray gives you 12 toothbrushes in a pack. The toothbrushes come in assorted colours.

Also available on our shop is the Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste. It is available in 50ml packs, as well as 100ml packs.
