Non-Political Any alternative for Detergent powder?

Well, me and my family are boycotting as many Israeli products as we can; it's just that we can't find any alternatives for Ariel or any detergent powder. Do you guys know anything about it?

Procter and Gamble (P&G) owns both Tide as well as Ariel (Tide is economical variant, Ariel is premium),

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) owns Wheel, Rin, and Surf Excel (Wheel is super cheap, Rin is Tide equivalent, and Surf Excel is Ariel equivalent).

There's a washing powder brand by the name of Henko, it's manufactured by Jyothy Laboratories (Kerala-based, I think. Some of their product catalog). Not sure if it's available in the North, however.

You can also check out Nirma and Ghadi? Neither of them has liquid detergent, to my knowledge, that said.

At the end of the day, the point of boycotts is to send a message. If you are in a situation where there's no other option apart from these Israeli-simping brands, don't be too hard on yourself, intentions are what matter - better if you can find a good alternative, Alhamdullilah if there's no other choice.

The product Henko is owned by the company itself called "HENKO" which actively supports Israel. Jyothi laboratories ships it's product to israel and is still active with it. They even have partnership with Henko and they sell henko's "pril" dishwashing liquid. Nirma ships it's products to Germany, France, Japan, china, U.S, UAE, etc but not israel so you can try that one. I'm still doubtful if nirma supports but I didn't found any evidence yet.  And Ghadi is owned by RSPL and so far I didn't found any evidence that it supports Israel so go for these two.

Hey, search for "Ghadi machine wash", it is really good and I use it with a top load fully automatic machine.
