Ecover is a pioneering Belgian brand founded in 1979 in Malle, Belgium, by a team of eco-pioneers who sought to create the world's first phosphate-free washing powder. The brand's mission was driven by the discovery of the environmental damage phosphates caused to aquatic life. In 1992, Ecover opened the world’s first 'ecological factory' in Malle, designed with a living green roof and sustainable materials, which remains its primary production hub today.

In 2012, Ecover expanded its reach by acquiring Method, a US-based natural cleaning brand, forming the parent group 'People Against Dirty.' This group was subsequently acquired in 2017 by S. C. Johnson & Son, an American multinational. Despite the change in ownership, Ecover continues to manufacture the majority of its European product range at its original zero-waste certified facility in Belgium. The 'Essential' line, featured in the image, is a specific sub-brand launched in 2017 to focus on health food trade channels, emphasizing ECOCERT certification and 100% naturally derived fragrances.
