The detergent, which cleans and bleaches laundry without chlorine, not only eliminated the physically strenuous task of scrubbing and washing by hand, which caused the fabrics to wear, but also improved household hygiene. These were directly tangible contributions that Henkel made to social progress. Today, Persil is Germany’s No. 1 laundry detergent and one of the top brands in the Laundry & Home Care business.</p></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <div class="standard-content " data-wt-contenttype="HKStandardText" data-wt-view="simple"> <div> <div class="extendedRichtext "> <span ></span> <span ></span> <div><div class="text"><h2>Foundation of Schwarzkopf</h2></div><div class="text"><p>In 1898, the state-approved chemist Hans Schwarzkopf took over a dye, drug and perfumery business in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
