Persil Sensitive Gel laundry detergent

Persil is a world-renowned laundry detergent brand that made history in 1907 as the first self-acting detergent. Developed by the German company Henkel & Cie, the name is derived from its original chemical components: perborate and silicate. This innovation significantly reduced the physical labor required for washing by releasing oxygen during the boil, eliminating the need for vigorous scrubbing. Over the century, Persil has become a household staple across Europe and beyond, known for its deep cleaning capabilities.

While the brand is globally recognized, its ownership is split geographically. Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, owns and manufactures Persil in most of the world. However, in specific markets like the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and parts of Oceania, the brand is owned by Unilever. The product shown in the image features German labeling ('Tiefenrein', 'Reine Wäsche') and the 'Made in Germany' logo, indicating it is a product from Henkel's European supply chain. Manufacturing occurs in numerous facilities across Europe and globally to serve local markets.
