About us:

We are the people behind method + Ecover. We've always done things differently - we're fearless thinkers, mad scientists, and adventurous designers who believe that making soap leads to brave ideas, bold inventions, and beautiful bubbles. We started small but we have big plans to make the world a cleaner, greener, more colourful place. We invite everyone to join us as we pioneer a future where doing business is doing good for all.

Let's get one thing straight - you're not coming here to just sell soap, or cleaning products. You're joining us to move the hearts, souls, and minds of others all over the world that see the world differently. We think about cleaning as an act of creative expression, a gesture of rebellion, and, yes, an escape from the normal. We take cleaning seriously - but not ourselves.

Alongside our friends Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and Babyganics in the US, we are collectively known as Lifestyle Brands and are part of the SC Johnson family.
