Piyush Jain, Global Vice President at Unilever said: “I believe that we can deliver our products by creating brands that deliver great beauty results and also respect our carbon footprint.”

With the launch, Love Beauty and Planet aims to reach six sustainable goals, including: sourcing responsible ingredients, reduce waste, save water, reduce carbon footprint, supporting environmental activists and launch at least three new beauty product innovations by 2020.

Unilever is currently home to beauty brands such as Dove, Axe and Sunsilk. Earlier this year it announced the acquisition of Korean beauty brand Carver and New York-based Sundial Brands, growing its beauty offering.
