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?

    The story seems to be complicated, but according to Wikipedia it seems to be British?

    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]

      Yes, it seems very complicated, because I got two different kinds of information from that article. One in “quick facts” tells it’s American and when you read further it says it’s British. I don’t use Google, so I didn’t investigate it more, though.

        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]
