Listerine

Doctor Joseph Lawrence, creator of Listerine mouthwash, decided to name it in honor of the scientist who had paved the way for the development of the product: the English doctor and surgeon Joseph Lister, the first surgeon to perform a surgical procedure in a sterilized room using an antiseptic sprayed into the air. The result? The mortality of patients fell like never before. Inspired by Lister’s work, Lawrence created a perfect unique formulation.
