Business Combinations [Abstract]
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures	Acquisition and Divestiture Acquisition On February 24, 2022, we completed our acquisition of a majority and controlling share of Thinx Inc. (“Thinx”), an industry leader in the reusable period and incontinence underwear category, for total consideration of $181. We previously accounted for our ownership interest in Thinx as an equity method investment, but upon increasing our ownership to 58 percent, we began consolidating the operations of Thinx into our financial statements at the end of the first quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, we delivered a redemption notice to the third-party minority owner with respect to a portion of the remaining common securities of Thinx. The redemption closed in the second quarter of 2023, and we acquired additional ownership of Thinx for $48, increasing our controlling ownership to 70 percent. As part of the completion of a negotiated final redemption, we acquired the remaining 30 percent ownership of Thinx for $47 in the fourth quarter of 2023. As the purchase of additional ownership in an already controlled subsidiary represents an equity transaction, no gain or loss was recognized in consolidated net income or comprehensive income. Divestiture On June 1, 2023, we completed the sale transaction, announced on October 24, 2022, of our Neve tissue brand and related consumer and K-C Professional tissue assets in Brazil for $212. Upon closure of the transaction, a gain of $74 pre-tax was recognized in Other (income) and expense, net. We incurred divestiture-related costs of $30 pre-tax, which were recorded in Cost of products sold and Marketing, research and general expenses, resulting in a net benefit of $44 pre-tax ($26 after tax). See Note 3, Acquisition and Divestiture, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information related to the Thinx acquisition and Brazil divestiture.
