Colgate-Palmolive is a global consumer products company best known for its oral care brand Colgate, which traces its origins back to 1806 when English immigrant William Colgate founded a small soap and candle business in New York City. Initially called William Colgate & Company, the firm expanded steadily during the 19th century, introducing toothpaste in jars in 1873 and later pioneering toothpaste in collapsible tubes in 1896, inspired by paint tube packaging. In 1928, the company merged with Palmolive-Peet to form Colgate-Palmolive, strengthening its position in household and personal care products. Over time, Colgate became one of the world’s leading toothpaste brands, recognized for promoting dental hygiene and cavity prevention across more than 200 countries and territories.
