Health & hygiene
Products such as soap and toothpaste can help prevent disease and improve health and well-being, ultimately helping to save lives. But this relies on people changing their everyday habits.
An ambitious target
Our brands have built health, hygiene and well-being into their identity since the launch of Lifebuoy soap, over 100 years ago. As part of our Unilever Sustainable Living Plan launched in November 2010, we have set ourselves a bold new target to help more than a billion people to improve their hygiene habits and bring safe drinking water to 500 million people by 2020.
