Colgate-Palmolive Co. (CL) hasn't faced any pushback from consumers or retailers to price increases, Chairman and Chief Executive Ian Cook said Thursday.

"There has been no retailer or consumer resistance to the pricing we have taken," Cook said at a Goldman Sachs consumer products conference.

Colgate has been raising prices "broadly" across product categories and in geographic regions, Cook said, as it seeks to offset rising costs for oil, resin and other items used to make and ship its products.

Last month, Colgate said that rising costs would prevent it from expanding margins this year. Higher prices are expected to boost sales in the second-half of the year.

Colgate shares were unchanged premarket at $85.07.
