Listerine Cool Mint
A cool-mint-flavored mouthwash sold under the Listerine oral-care brand.
Last updated August 28, 2026
Overview
Listerine Cool Mint is a cool-mint-flavored mouthwash in the Listerine product portfolio. It is a product variant rather than an independently incorporated company or separately established consumer brand. The Listerine name is associated with antiseptic and cosmetic mouthwashes used as part of daily oral-hygiene routines, while the Cool Mint designation identifies the flavor and sensory profile of a particular formulation or market-specific package. The product is positioned around a strong mint taste and a pronounced feeling of freshness after rinsing. Depending on the market and formulation, Listerine mouthwashes may be promoted for general breath freshening, plaque control, gum care, or broader oral-hygiene support. Product claims, active ingredients, bottle sizes, labeling, and regulatory classification can differ between countries, so the name should not be treated as evidence of one globally identical formula. Listerine Cool Mint is part of the Listerine brand house, which is owned by Kenvue, the consumer-health company separated from Johnson & Johnson in 2023. The product is distributed through consumer-health and oral-care channels, including pharmacies, supermarkets, mass retailers, and e-commerce where available. Costa Rica is identified in the supplied record as the relevant country or market context, but no reliable source was provided for a headquarters location, launch year, local manufacturer, or country-specific distribution history. Because no dedicated Wikipedia article or dependable source set was supplied for this exact product variant, details such as its original introduction date, local formula history, advertising campaigns, sales performance, executives, and corporate financial results remain undocumented here. The product should therefore be understood as a market-specific Listerine mouthwash variant rather than as a standalone corporate entity.
History
No separately documented corporate history was identified for Listerine Cool Mint as an individual product variant. Its relevant history is that of a Listerine mouthwash sold with a cool-mint flavor designation. Listerine is an oral-care brand within the consumer-health portfolio now operated by Kenvue; Kenvue became an independent company following its separation from Johnson & Johnson in 2023. The available record does not establish the exact year in which the Cool Mint variant first appeared, whether the product was introduced simultaneously across markets, or how its formulation changed over time. As with many packaged oral-care products, the product name may cover market-specific versions. Ingredients, therapeutic or cosmetic claims, package design, bottle sizes, and labeling can vary according to local regulations and commercial strategy. The supplied information identifies Costa Rica as the country context, but does not provide sufficient evidence to document a Costa Rican launch, local production site, distributor, or retail history. No dedicated encyclopedia article, product-history source, campaign archive, scandal report, or executive record was supplied for this exact variant.
