The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Sensodyne began in 1961 in the United Kingdom as a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. The brand targets pain from exposed dentin and worn enamel. Potassium nitrate became their core ingredient, blocking sensation to the nerve. It launched when most toothpastes ignored sensitivity entirely. Today Sensodyne holds the top rank in Beauty & Personal Care across 21,133 tracked brands globally. The product now appears in over 130 countries. GlaxoSmithKline owns the brand and expands it constantly. Sensitivity toothpaste remains their anchor. Sensodyne competes in a category they essentially invented, dominating drugstore shelves worldwide.
