Pepsodent is owned by Unilever which is British. So I guess it is OK to buy it, especially if the only alternative is an American company, for example Colgate.

    It does explain it in the first sentences in Wikipedia

    Pepsodent is an American brand of toothpaste with the minty flavor that is derived from sassafras. The brand was purchased by Unilever in 1942 and is still owned by the company outside of the United States and Canada. In 2003, Unilever sold the rights to the brand in the North American market to Church & Dwight.[1]

    Pepsodent what founded in US and it might still have factories and offices there but Unilever bought it. I'm not sure where the Pepsodent tooth paste is manufactured but if you buy it you will likely support American jobs in some degree. But the profit that Pepsodent does will go back to Unilever.

    Think of Jaguar, it is British but the current owners are Tata which is an Indian company.
