Couto

In the 30 s Alberto Ferreira Couto, with the help of a dentist friend, wanted to develop a product to reduce gingival infections and to limit the increase of gum disease.
Thus, after some experiences, he created the first formula of toothpaste, registered for the first time in the Oporto on the 13 of June 1932.
Its success was almost immediate, the Medicinal Toothpaste Couto entered the Portuguese houses and started to be part of the routine of the population.
The Medicinal Toothpaste Couto was the toothpaste of the majority of the Portuguese population, and today it is still recognized as an excellent quality toothpaste.
Today it is still produced on a half-artisan form, without ingredients of animal origin, it keeps its original design and the famous backward original packing and continues to be recommended for daily cleanness of teeth and the mouth.
Since October of 2001, due to the new communitarian laws that limited the use of the -medicinal- world, the product started to call TOOTHPASTE COUTO.
