Is there any? I’m located in Finland and trying to find one. I just bought Sensodyne, which I believed would be European, but seems to be American, according to Wikipedia?

    Seems that Wikipedia is confused. Sensodyne was originally an American product, but it was later purchased by GSK, which is a British company, which then split, and Sensodyne is now owned by Haleon, a British company.

    History

    Sensodyne is a brand of toothpaste that was first sold by Block Drug, a Brooklyn, New York-based company established in 1907 by pharmacist Alexander Block.[1]

    In 2000, Block Drug was purchased by Smith Kline Beecham P.L.C.,[11] which became GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK).[12]

    Sensodyne became a part of Haleon, a British multinational consumer healthcare corporation, in July 2022, following the establishment of Haleon as a separate entity through a corporate spin-off from GSK.[14]
