About Inava
Inava makes the toothbrushes and interdental brushes in Pierre Fabre Oral Care, and is the leading dental accessories brand in French pharmacies. It has sold through dental surgeons for decades, which shapes a range built around specific clinical needs — braces, implants, gum recession, children's first teeth — rather than around a single flagship brush sold to everyone.

About the owner: Pierre Fabre
Pierre Fabre is a privately held company headquartered in Castres, France, founded in 1962. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control.
Pierre Fabre is a French pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetics group founded in 1962 by Pierre Fabre, a pharmacist with a passion for botany who turned his dispensary in the Tarn into an international company. It reported revenue of €3.2 billion in 2025, split between €1.7 billion of dermo-cosmetics and €1.4 billion of medicines, with 71 per cent earned outside France and products sold in 130 territories. Its ownership is unusual: the Fondation Pierre Fabre, a government-recognised public-interest foundation created in 1999, is the majority shareholder with 86 per cent, and the company's own employees are the second-largest shareholder, 6,625 of them by the end of 2025.
