Beauty and personal care sales at Unilever grew by 3.3% in the first half of 2021 as the easing of Covid-19 restrictions across many of its markets helped to boost consumer demand for personal care products.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Global skin care sales experienced a double-digit sales rise, while deodorants, use of which had slipped during the pandemic, returned to growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In skincare, Unilever\u2019s Vaseline and Ponds brands each grew double digit, while hair grew mid-single digit, driven by products for washing and styling.<\/p>\n

The beauty giant, which recently announced the acquisition of digitally native skin care brand Paula\u2019s Choice<\/a>, also recorded double digit growth for its family of prestige brands, which includes high-profile names such as REN Clean Skincare and Murad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a whole, Unilever reported underlying sales growth of 5.4%, with 4% volume and 1.3% price.<\/p>\n

However, it reported a lower underlying operating margin of 18.8%, driven by investment and rising costs.<\/p>\n

The company now expects full-year underlying operating margins to be flat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
