Simple is a renowned British brand that has built a global reputation for its 'kind to skin' philosophy. Launched in 1960 by the Albion Group, Simple was a pioneer in creating medicinal-grade soap that was free from perfumes and dyes, specifically designed for those with sensitive skin. This foundational commitment to gentle formulations remains the core of the brand today.
Over the decades, the brand underwent several changes in ownership. It was acquired by Smith & Nephew in the late 1980s, followed by several private equity transitions, including ownership by Alberto-Culver. In 2011, the brand became part of the Unilever portfolio. Today, Simple is recognized as a leading dermatologist-tested brand globally, offering a wide range of face washes, moisturizers, and cleansing wipes.
While the brand's heritage is deeply rooted in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing operations are now global. Products are manufactured in various locations including the UK, Poland, and different facilities across Asia to meet regional demands. As of 2024 and beyond, Simple continues to operate as a key skin cleansing and care asset under the Unilever umbrella, benefiting from the multinational's extensive research and distribution networks.
