Market Position/ History

Founded in 1806 by William Colgate in New York City, Colgate-Palmolive has evolved from a small soap and candle business into a global consumer goods leader. Key milestones include the introduction of toothpaste in tubes (1896), the merger with Palmolive-Peet (1928), and becoming Colgate-Palmolive Company in 1953. The company expanded internationally starting in the early 20th century and launched innovative products like Ajax cleanser, Irish Spring soap, and Colgate Total toothpaste.

Major acquisitions, such as Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Softsoap, Tom’s of Maine, and Filorga, expanded its reach across Oral Care, Personal Care, Home Care, and Pet Nutrition. The Bright Smiles, Bright Futures™ program, launched in 1991, has educated over 1 billion children worldwide. Colgate has also pioneered sustainability with the first recyclable toothpaste tube and strong pandemic relief efforts.

Today, Colgate-Palmolive operates in over 200 countries, driven by innovation, sustainability, and a mission to improve health and hygiene globally.

Colgate brings advanced Electric Toothbrush technology to India.

Colgate-Palmolive India, the country's leading oral care brand, has announced the launch of its latest innovation in dental hygiene — the Colgate ProClinical range of sonic electric toothbrushes. Designed to deliver significantly better cleaning compared to regular manual toothbrushes, these advanced brushes target hard-to-reach plaque and odor-causing bacteria with precision and efficiency.

The new Colgate ProClinical electric toothbrushes feature sonic technology that delivers thousands of rapid brush strokes per minute for a deep, yet gentle clean. The sleek, lightweight design ensures ease of use, while its compact form factor makes it a perfect travel companion.

The ProClinical line includes three high-performance variants, now available on leading e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, and Colgate’s official online store cpbrush.co.in.
