Euthymol Euthymol is a brand of antiseptic, fluoride-free[1] toothpaste distributed by LG H&H. It is characterized by its distinctive bright pink colour, strong herbal flavor, and medicinal taste. The product is also notable for its vintage-style metal tube packaging, which features a design with only a pattern and the product name. It is marketed as helping to remove plaque, support enamel health, and provide breath-freshening benefits.[2] HistoryThe supply of Euthymol toothpaste was temporarily interrupted in mid-2013 while the product was reformulated due to changes in the European Cosmetics Regulation.[3] The new formulation of Euthymol was released to supply chains in January 2014 and was available in stores in February 2014. The name Euthymol is a portmanteau of the words eucalyptus and thymol, which were the active ingredients of the original formulation. This was marketed by Parke, Davis & Co. as far back as 1896,[4] and as well as toothpaste it was sold as a variety of antiseptic powders and creams, which contained thymol, oil of wintergreen, menthol, eucalyptus oil, boric acid and indigo,[5] though modern formulations only contain the first three of those ingredients (amongst other things).
