<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">This prospectus supplement contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) in its rules, regulations and releases that set forth anticipated
  results based on management&#146;s current plans and assumptions. Such statements may relate, for example, to sales or volume growth, net selling price increases, organic sales growth, profit or profit margin levels, earnings per share levels, financial goals, the impact of foreign exchange volatility, the
  impact of COVID-19, cost-reduction plans, tax rates, new product introductions, commercial investment levels, acquisitions, divestitures, share repurchases, or legal or tax proceedings, among other matters. These statements are made on the basis of the Company&#146;s views and assumptions as of this time
  and the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Moreover, the Company does not, nor does any other person, assume responsibility for the
  accuracy and completeness of those statements. The Company cautions investors that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual events or results may differ materially from those statements. Actual events or results may differ materially because of
  factors that affect international businesses and global economic conditions, as well as matters specific to the Company and the markets it serves, including the uncertain economic and political environment in different countries and its effect on consumer spending habits, foreign currency rate
  fluctuations, exchange controls, tariffs, price or profit controls, labor relations, changes in foreign or domestic laws, or regulations or their interpretation, political and fiscal developments, including changes in trade, tax and immigration policies, increased competition and evolving competitive practices
  (including from the growth of eCommerce and the entry of new competitors and business models), the ability to operate and respond effectively during a pandemic, epidemic or widespread public health concern, including COVID-19, ability to manage disruptions in our global supply chain and/or key
  office facilities, ability to manage the availability and cost of raw and packaging materials and logistics costs, the ability to maintain or increase selling prices as needed, changes in the policies of retail trade customers, the emergence of alternative retail channels, the growth of eCommerce and the
  rapidly changing retail landscape (as consumers increasingly shop online), the ability to develop innovative new products, the ability to continue lowering costs and operate in an agile manner, the ability to maintain the security of our information technology systems from a cyber-security incident or data
  breach, the ability to address the effects of climate change and achieve our sustainability and social impact goals, the ability to complete acquisitions and divestitures as planned, the ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, the ability to attract and retain key employees and integrate
  diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across our organization, the uncertainty of the outcome of legal proceedings, whether or not the Company believes they have merit, and the ability to address uncertain or unfavorable global economic conditions, disruptions in the credit markets and tax matters.
  For information about these and other factors that could impact the Company&#146;s business and cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, refer to the Company&#146;s filings with the SEC (including, but not limited to, the information set forth under the captions &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in this
  prospectus supplement, &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the Company&#146;s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus

We seek to deliver sustainable, profitable growth and superior shareholder returns, as well as to provide Colgate people with an innovative and inclusive work
  environment. We do this by developing and selling products globally that make people&#146;s lives healthier and more enjoyable and by embracing our sustainability and social impact and diversity, equity and inclusion strategies across our organization.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We are tightly focused on two product segments: Oral, Personal and Home Care; and Pet Nutrition. Within these segments, we follow a closely defined business strategy to grow our key product categories and increase our overall market share. Within the categories in which we compete, we
  prioritize our efforts based on their capacity to maximize the use of the organization&#146;s core competencies and strong global equities and to deliver sustainable, profitable long-term growth.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Operationally, we are organized along geographic lines with management teams having responsibility for the business and financial results in each region. We compete in more than 200&nbsp;countries and territories worldwide with established businesses in all regions contributing to our sales and
  profitability. Approximately 70% of our net sales are generated from markets outside the United States, with approximately 45% of our net sales coming from emerging markets (which consist of Latin America, Asia (excluding Japan), Africa/Eurasia and Central Europe). This geographic diversity and
  balance help to reduce our exposure to business and other risks in any one country or part of the world.</FONT></P>

  Through Hill&#146;s Pet Nutrition, we also compete on a worldwide basis in the pet nutrition market, selling products principally through authorized pet supply retailers, veterinarians and eCommerce retailers. We are engaged in manufacturing and sourcing of products and materials on a global scale and have
  major manufacturing facilities, warehousing facilities and distribution centers in every region around the world.</FONT></P>

  currency and the euro and the possibility of the imposition or subsequent modification of foreign exchange controls. These risks generally depend on factors over which we have no control, such as economic, financial and political events and the supply of and demand for the relevant currencies. In
  recent years, rates of exchange between euro and certain currencies have been highly volatile, and each holder should be aware that such volatility may occur in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have occurred in the past, however, are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations

Consequently, in a lawsuit for payment on the Notes, investors would bear currency exchange risk until a New York state court judgment is entered, which could be a long time.

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">U.S. Holders that use the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for tax purposes must recognize income equal to the U.S. dollar value of the euro received as a payment of interest (which includes proceeds in euro from a sale, exchange, or other disposition of the Notes to the
  extent attributable to accrued interest), determined by translating the euro amount into U.S. dollars at the spot rate in effect on the date of receipt, regardless of whether the euro received is actually converted into U.S. dollars. U.S. Holders that use an accrual method of accounting for tax purposes may
  determine the amount of income recognized with respect to the euro received on each Interest Payment Date by using one of two methods. Under the first method, the amount of income accrued is determined by translating the euro amount into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate in effect
  during the accrual period (or, if the accrual period spans two taxable years, at the exchange rate for the partial period within the taxable year). Alternatively, such U.S. Holders may elect to determine the amount of income accrued on the basis of the spot rate in effect on the last day of the accrual
  period (or the last day of the taxable year in the case of an accrual period that straddles the U.S. Holder&#146;s taxable year) or may use the spot rate on the date the interest payment is received if that date is within five days of the end of the accrual period. U.S. Holders that make this election must apply
  it consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot change the election without the consent of the IRS. Accrual method U.S. Holders will recognize foreign currency gain or loss on the receipt of an interest payment (including a payment attributable to accrued but unpaid interest upon the
  sale or retirement of a Note) if the spot rate of exchange on the date the payment is received differs from the rate applicable to a previous accrual of that interest income. Such foreign currency gain or loss generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss, but generally will not be treated as an
  adjustment to interest income received on the Notes. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in euro received as interest equal to the U.S. dollar value of such euro.</FONT></P>

  received on such disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued interest, which amounts would be treated as ordinary interest income to the extent not previously so treated) and (ii) the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in such Note. A U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will
  equal the cost of the Note to the U.S. Holder based on the spot exchange rate on the settlement date of the initial purchase, decreased by the amount of any payments (other than payments of stated interest) on the Note (converted using the same exchange rate).</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">A U.S. Holder that uses the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting determines the amount realized in U.S. dollars by using the relevant spot exchange rate on the settlement date of the disposition of a Note, provided that the Notes are traded on an established securities market. A
  U.S. Holder that uses an accrual method of accounting may elect such treatment for all purchases and sales for foreign currency of stock or securities traded on an established securities market (which election cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS). Absent such an election, the amount
  realized by an accrual method U.S. Holder in U.S. dollars is the U.S. dollar value of the euro received, determined at the spot rate on the trade date of the sale, exchange or retirement of the Note. Gain or loss realized upon the taxable disposition of a Note that is attributable to fluctuations in currency
  exchange rates will be ordinary income or loss and such income or loss will not be treated as interest income or expense. The gain or loss of a U.S. Holder attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will be the difference between (i) the U.S. dollar value of the U.S. Holder&#146;s purchase price
  for the Note, determined using the spot rate on the date the Note is disposed of (or the settlement date, if the Notes are traded on an established securities market and the U.S. Holder is either a cash basis taxpayer or an electing accrual basis taxpayer), and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the purchase
