About Kenvue

Kenvue sells everyday health and personal-care items to households, built around familiar name brands. Shoppers know it for pain relievers, allergy and cold remedies, skin creams, oral-care items and baby products rather than for a single flagship line.

Another focuses on skin, hair and sun care through names such as Neutrogena, Aveeno and OGX. 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.
