Method Men Body Wash

Method was founded in 2000 in San Francisco, California, by Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry with a vision to create cleaning and personal care products that were both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. The brand quickly gained popularity for its minimalist design and focus on non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients, eventually expanding its portfolio to include a dedicated line for men's grooming.

In 2012, Method was acquired by the Belgian company Ecover, forming a global leader in sustainable cleaning products. However, the ownership structure shifted significantly in 2017 when the American multinational SC Johnson acquired the combined Method and Ecover business. Today, Method Men operates as a key brand within the SC Johnson portfolio, maintaining its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, while utilizing extensive global distribution networks.

Manufacturing for Method products is primarily centered at their 'South Side Soapbox' facility in Chicago, a state-of-the-art green factory, though some components and specialized lines may be sourced or produced through other international facilities to meet regional demand. As of 2026, the brand continues to represent a premium, design-forward segment of the personal care market under SC Johnson's stewardship.
