Dove Introduces Scalp And Hair Therapy Dove introduced the latest innovation in scalp and hair care, a cutting-edge range designed to deliver tailored solutions for every scalp. Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy is designed as a complete scalp skincare system, restoring and strengthening the scalp's protective barrier while nourishing and caring for hair. Developed by scientific teams, the collection is powered by skincare-inspired ingredients and cutting-edge technology including Glycerin to nourish the scalp and reduce dry flakes, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to moisturise, strengthen the scalp skin barrier, and maintain balance, and Biomimetic technology to repair hair from within.

Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Density & Growth is powered by Dynazinc technology, this range helps anchor follicles to the scalp and prolong the hair's growth cycle. It inhibits the enzyme responsible for weakening the bond between fibre and follicle by reinforcing it at the root to support stronger, faster growing hair. In clinical testing, it supported the anchoring of up to 10,000 more hairs at the root, helping hair stay in place for longer and contributing to visibly fuller density over time. Scalp + Hair Therapy Density & Growth Shampoo and Conditioner reinforces the fibre-to-follicle connection while gently removing impurities and restoring hydration balance at the scalp. Scalp + Hair Therapy Density & Growth 3-in-1 Scalp Serum helps strengthen root anchoring and create optimum conditions for hair to thrive. In clinical testing, it helped deliver up to 10,000 more hairs in just 12 weeks.

Unilever Reportedly Explores Sale of Healthy Snack Brand Graze Unilever PLC (LSE:ULVR) is exploring a sale of its healthy snack brand Graze (Nature Delivered Ltd), as the consumer group’s new chief presses ahead with plans to tilt its portfolio away from food and towards personal care and beauty. The maker of Dove soap and Marmite has recently approached a number of consumer goods groups and food manufacturers to gauge their interest in buying Graze, according to people familiar with the matter. One banker estimated that Graze, which Unilever bought for £150 million in 2019, would be valued at between £50 million and £80 million in a sale. Unilever declined to comment. The brand, which sells oat bars and packets of roasted corn, blamed the recent decline on a slowdown in its direct-to-consumer sales. Graze has made an operating loss every year under Unilever’s ownership, according to accounts filed at UK Companies House. Unilever promoted its chief financial officer, Fernando Fernandez, to chief executive in March, abruptly replacing Hein Schumacher, who had planned to sell food brands generating a total of €1bn of annual revenue as part of his turnaround efforts. Fernandez is continuing with his predecessor’s plans as part of a shift in focus to higher margin beauty, personal care and health and wellness categories. In the past six months Unilever has sold Dutch brands Conimex and Unox, as well as plant-based brand The Vegetarian Butcher. Graze, which Unilever acquired from private equity group Carlyle, was founded in 2005 as a snack box delivery service, before starting to supply supermarkets and other retailers in 2015. Unilever integrated Graze into its wider operations last year. Unilever bought the brand as part of a push into direct-to-consumer selling, which included the $1 billion acquisition of subscription razor service Dollar Shave Club, and to meet growing consumer demand for healthier snacks.

Unilever is also trying to sell smaller food brands in Britain and other countries in Europe, this source and a second source said. The company declined to comment. An ABN Amro spokesperson declined to comment. Unilever, home to about 400 brands worldwide, has over the past year been trying to recalibrate its operations to focus more on marketing its top 30 "power" brands and streamlining its business, particularly in Europe. In March, Unilever said it would spin off its ice cream unit, home to brands such as Magnum and Ben & Jerry's. Its restructuring under Schumacher, who previously ran Dutch dairy firm FrieslandCampina, has been generally well-received by investors, including activist Nelson Peltz who took a seat on Unilever's board in 2022. Former CEO Alan Jope, who departed Unilever soon after Peltz's stake was revealed, was criticised for allowing the group's portfolio to balloon, leaving management with too little time to grow strong performers like Knorr, Hellmann's and Dove. Schumacher told Reuters in February that Peltz's views were "very much in line" with Unilever's growth strategy. This involves investing more in its top 30 brands that represent more than 70% of sales, supporting its innovation pipeline for the next few years and working towards a better operating discipline, he said.
