In some U.S. stores, Mexican Ariel is available. Ariel first appeared on the UK market in 1967 and was the first detergent with stain removing enzymes. It was a high sudsing powder designed for twin tub and top loading washing machine s. With the rise in popularity of automatic front loading washing machines, a suitable low suds variant was launched in the early 1970s. The mid eighties saw the range expanding to encompass liquid detergent and compact powder. The compact powder was originally known as Ariel Ultra and was subsequently reformulated into the nineties as Ariel Futur .
