A third covers teeth cleaning, baby care, feminine products and wound treatment, marketed as Listerine, Johnson's, Band-Aid and Stayfree.
Kenvue traces its start to 2022 and runs its main offices out of Skillman, New Jersey. It sits under Johnson & Johnson as a subsidiary. Trading of its stock takes place on the NYSE under the ticker KVUE.
