This brand is owned by SC Johnson & Son, a privately held U.S. corporation behind household staples like Windex, Glade, Raid, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles, Ziploc, and OFF!. While widely marketed as “family friendly,” the parent company has a long record of environmental fines for chemical emissions, pesticide violations, and waste management failures.
SC Johnson also continues to conduct animal testing in markets where it is legally required, and its palm oil sourcing commitments fall short of addressing Indigenous land rights or ensuring Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. The company maintains a commercial presence in Israel through S.C. Johnson Israel Ltd. and local distributors, embedding its brands in the Israeli market despite ongoing apartheid-linked systems.
SC Johnson’s record shows repeat environmental compliance issues and ongoing animal testing in certain markets. Its palm-oil sourcing remains exposed to human-rights risk typical of derivatives supply chains, and policy disclosures show gaps around FPIC, which is a red flag for community land rights. The company invests resources in U.S. lobbying, shaping the regulatory landscape for chemicals, packaging, and consumer products.
The company operates in Israel through a local subsidiary and distribution network. Based on available evidence, this is general market participation rather than occupation-economy involvement (e.g., settlement plants, military suppliers, or government security contracts). If future evidence ties SC Johnson’s operations to settlements or defense programs, the impact level would be reassessed.Given today’s record, SC Johnson warrants consumer scrutiny for environmental performance, chemical stewardship, palm-oil governance gaps, and animal testing—not for military or conflict complicity.
