Unilever, Superdrug, and the nonprofit Beauty Banks have teamed up to address the rising problem that daily impacts millions of people and children in the UK and is called hygiene poverty.
Unilever will give one Dove product to Beauty Banks between April 19 and May 16. In return for every two specific Dove items bought at Superdrug, whether in-store or online. According to official statistics, 20% of the population, or 13.4 million people, lived in poverty in the UK in 2020/2021, according to official estimates.
However, given the difficult economic climate, it is expected that this number is now significantly higher. Because they cannot afford soap, shampoo, or toothpaste, many of these people avoid washing, brushing their teeth, or using deodorant.
People could feel humiliated as a result, which could harm their confidence and mental health. Donating goods through this campaign is another step in fostering healthy body confidence as part of Dove’s continuing Self-Esteem effort.

We want to be able to make a real change at scale, which is why we are working with two influential partners to make this a reality.” Said Chris Barron, General Manager, Unilever UKI Personal Care.
