Adam Lowry

With his high school buddy, Adam Lowry created household cleaning products that are stylish, nice smelling, and kind to the environment.


You may have seen his Method line at Target or Safeway stores. The cleaners are made with natural ingredients that are less toxic. Lowry worked with designers on cool containers that look decorative on shelves, including a soap bottle shaped like an hourglass. Lowry, who has a degree in chemical engineering, thinks that cleaners shouldn’t have to be hidden away and that they should add a little pizzazz to people’s home decor. People like the idea and have bought more than $75 million worth of his products.
