Here’s a list of their products in case anyone wants to stop buying them. Looks like I’m buying generic q-tips from now on.
Ah you mean Unilever, the company that was caught dumping mercury in a densely populated part of India? Or the same one responsible for deforestation of Indonesia and using a palm oil supplier that used child labor? Or perhaps the same Unilever that is one of the top 10 polluters on the planet, which lobbied in India and Philippines to prevent a law banning single use plastic? Or maybe the same Unilever that had salmonella contamination in their products and refused to release information about which product dates were affected? Or the Unilever that was accused of price fixing in Europe and was later fined for the practice? Or maybe the same Unilever that pressured Cosmo magazine to fire a Sri Lankan editor for refusing to promote their skin whiteners? Or maybe the same Unilever that ordered security to fire rubber bullets and pepper spray at striking workers in South America? The same Unilever whose founder used Belgium’s Congolese workers as forced laborers for nearly 40 years to create his empire (if you’re not sure why this is an issue, just look up Belgium’s exploits in Congo)?
Oh, it’s all the same Unilever? The same criminal parasites that cooperated with an imperial empire to “employ” slaves that were being genocided doesn’t have any issue with doing business with a country that is using Imperialism to genocide another group of people today? Well color me shocked…
Jesus Christ…I’m assuming the CEO wears a black helmet and has a trap door in his lair.
“Our 400 brands around the world are on a global mission to do good.”
I think you’re thinking of Unilever’s hate filled, evil twin-brother, Loonyeva…

Awful, absolutely awful.
I’ve bought a Dove product by accident sometime in the past, but it looks like the garbage they produce is easily avoidable alltogether.
Yeah, Ben & Jerry’s is one I buy sometimes, but there are plenty of ice cream options so no biggie.
I guess we know who controls the one lever of power there. A Unilever, if you will.

A more complete list than the top 30 of 400 or whatever is on the USA page.
Well fuck. Anyone know a good SLS-free alternative to Dove body wash? Everything I can find is like 3x more expensive. I’ll take the hit but damn.
Companies need to stop putting that shit in their soap and toothpaste anyway. Too many people are sensitive to it and it’s not necessary at all.
I also can’t use products with SLS. I really like Yardley London soap, but it’s not cheap and I’m not sure if it comes as a body wash. Smells great though.
Depends on your location, but I use SLS-free bodywash and I buy it at those drug store style shops like Rossman in EU, Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada or Walgreens/CVS in the US. There is usually some sort of store brand that offers it and it will be relatively cheap. Another option is to get those super organic soap bars with like absolutely nothing in them.
Treat yourself. Get some Japanese cotton buds.
Added to my shopping list, thanks for the tip.
I guess you could said they gave you a good q-tip
The black ones from Daiso are god tier.
Good thing I’m already switching to shampoo bars to reduce plastic waste
Another thing you can do, if your hair isn’t naturally too oily, is to just wash it less frequently. I was my hair 2 times a week max these days and it honestly looks better than it ever did before. A small bottle of shampoo lasts me more than six months these days.
Which brands of shampoo bars are you using? I’m thinking of switching for the same reason.
Hellmans mayo huh? Guess I’ll be switching brands!
I dont see anything else on the list thankfully.
