Uyu mugabo yavutse mu muryango w’abakorugate, se yitwaga Robert Colgate. Uyu muryango waje guhunga uvuye mu Bwongereza, uhungira muri Amerika mu gihe cy’intambara za gisivire. 

Se yari umuhinzi. William Colgate yakundaga cyane gukora amasabune, aho yafatanyaga na se. Iwabo ntabwo bari bakize ku buryo yajyaga abona ari umutwaro. Ku myaka ye 19, Colgate yagiye gutangiza buzinesi ye bwite, ayitangiza mu izina rye ku nkunga yari yahawe na nyirasenge ariko aza guhomba mu mwaka umwe atangije buzinesi ye.

Nubwo guhomba muri buno buryo byongeye ku muntu ukiri muto bica intege, Colgate ntiyacitse intege, ahubwo yahisemo kwimuka aho bari batuye ajya mu mujyi wa New York gushakirayo ubuzima. Mu rugendo rwe yimuka, inshuti ye y’umukirisitu yamuhaye ijambo ryaje kuzana impinduka mu buzima bwe.

William yasenze isengesho rimwe n'iri ubwo mushuti we w’umukirisitu yamugiraga inama,  bituma ahitamo guhereza Imana umutima we wose mu byo yageragezaga gukora. William yatangije buzinesi ye mu gace kari gatuwemo n’Abadage mu mujyi wa New York, atangira guha Imana kimwe mu icumi mu byo yinjije bwa mbere. Uko niko yatangiye buzinesi ye na kompani (company) William Colgate, ifite ibicuruzwa byigarurirye imitima ya benshi muri iyi si. Kandi niko yagiye yaguka iva mu gukora amasabune yo kumesa igaba amashami no mu bindi bicuruzwa.

Uyu muti w’amenyo wigaruriye imitima ya benshi wagurishijwe bwa mbere mu 1896. Nyuma yaho mu w’1928 iyi buzinesi yaje kugurwa n'indi kompanyi yitwaga Palmolive-peet company ivugurura uburyo uyu muti ukozemo (formula). Ngayo nguko izina ry’umugabo umwe William Colgate ryafashe isi yose, none umuntu wese ukeneye umuti w’amenyo aba avuga ati”Ndashaka korugate.”
