Our history
More than 50 years together to make you smile.
At Laboratorios KIN we have been researching and developing quality products for dental health care since 1964. The effort and passion invested in our work allow us to continuously renew the commitment we made to professionals and consumers in the middle of the 20th century. We work hard to be able to bring more smiles to several generations and we succeed.
In 1970, Laboratorios KIN launched the first fluoride mouthwash (FluorKIN Anticaries). Subsequently, our team of researchers continued to work at the cutting edge, continually introducing new products and obtaining groundbreaking patents.
This way, the consumer knows they will find specific and effective solutions for their oral care need, in their trusted pharmacy, entrusting the oral health of their family to products of unquestionable excellence.
The long history of Laboratorios KIN is made up of many little stories and countless little achievements that explain why we are so successful.
Today, KIN is a recognized and consolidated brand that in 2002 decided to grow beyond the Spanish borders, creating its first subsidiary in Portugal. That same year, the patent for the product WhiteKIN was granted in Spain, the first enzymatic oxidation tooth whitening system, which was subsequently also granted in Portugal, Germany, France, Greece, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and Uruguay. In 2006 we expanded our presence by opening subsidiaries in Central America and Brazil.
The talent and creativity of our research team have made us pioneers in the innovation and development of products and treatments for dental health.
Our work and innovative efforts over the last twenty years have been recognized by obtaining 8 national and international patents and various utility models.
Countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Uruguay have granted patents to various compositions and inventions developed by Laboratorios KIN, these have brought objective improvements in fields as diverse as the treatment of oral pathology, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and professional tooth whitening.
This way, Laboratorios KIN is able to offer a catalogue of differentiated, effective, and safe products that are highly appreciated by dental professionals and consumers alike.
We share our philosophy, values, and products in more than 60 countries, raising awareness and educating families around the world about the importance of proper oral hygiene.
