Canadian toothpaste?
Hey all,
Trying to find a Canadian brand of toothpaste, or at the very least, a brand of toothpaste that isn't American.
Crest, Colgate, Sensodyne, and Arm & Hammer are all American brands from what I can tell. I already found a Canadian brand called Green Beaver, but they're one of those "natural" companies that for some reason thinks putting flouride in toothpaste is bad, and I really don't want to give any money to a company that continues to deny science at this late date.
Thanks in advance!

While it was originally an American brand, Sensodyne's parent company got bought by a British company in 2000, then spun off into another British company through corporate restructuring in 2022. It's not Canadian, but it's at least not American-owned.
Thanks for sharing! I'm on my last tube of toothpaste and have been looking arouns at bulk options, for some reason just assumed sensodyne was American.
Much appreciated!
Thank you SO much for this! The closest Canadian brand I could get is a lot more expensive, and I'm starting to have trouble affording all these pricey substitutes! Just so I can confirm, here do I find more information?
All this info was gotten off their Wikipedia page:
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]
Thanks: should have thought to check.
Haleon, formerly GSK.
