Ariel is a flagship laundry detergent brand under Procter & Gamble. It was first launched in Europe in 1967, developed by P&G’s European Technology Centre in Belgium.
Ariel was one of the first mainstream detergents to use enzyme-based cleaning, allowing effective removal of protein-based stains.
Over the decades, Ariel has expanded its range—offering powder, liquid, capsule/pod detergents, color-safe formulas, and cold-temperature versions.
Thanks to consistent innovation and global reach, Ariel is now available in many countries and remains a trusted name for households seeking powerful and reliable laundry care.
