Persil Silk & Wool liquid detergent

Persil is a major laundry detergent brand with a unique history of dual ownership. Originally introduced in 1907 by Henkel in Germany, the brand's name is derived from two of its original ingredients: perborate and silicate. Following World War II and various international licensing agreements, the rights to the brand were split.

In the United Kingdom, Ireland, and several other territories including Australia and New Zealand, the brand is owned by Unilever. In the rest of the world, including its home market of Germany, the brand remains under the ownership of Henkel. This specific packaging, featuring the 'splat' logo, identifies it as a Unilever-owned product typically found in the UK and European markets.

Manufacturing takes place in multiple locations globally to serve local markets. This Silk & Wool variant is specifically formulated for delicate fabrics, emphasizing gentle stain removal for clothes that require specialized care in both hand and machine washing.
