    Dove is from Unilever which is British.
    Head and Shoulders and Pantene are Procter & Gamble Which is from USA.
    Pantene was originally from Switzerland. So I wasn’t aware it’s American now. Since 1985. 🫣

        Yeah, Unilever is quite some British people’s national prides. It started as a Dutch/British joint company, and it’s still quite some Dutch people’s national pride.

        I don’t think they’re that good a company to feel nationalism for but there are worse companies (Nestlé for one)

      AFAIK they’re at least partially owned by Nestle, so their products are a definite no-no.

    I’ve not used liquid shampoo for about 3 years now.

    I only use solid shampoo, which currently is the one from Fer à Cheval.

        After a lifetime of dealing with dandruff, I’ve recently discovered the best anti-dandruff shampoo in the world, hands down: hot water.

        No shampoo at all. Just scrubbing with hot water every two-three days. After about a month or two the scalp stops overcompensating for the degreasing effect of shampoos and calms down. The first month will be pretty itchy and dandruffy though. Tapering out shampoo use gradually and some spray-on/drip-on anti-seboreic dermatitis lotion can keep things under control until the scalp normalizes.

        I think this was the video that I first got the idea from:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmDBYsRJN7A

      Have you happened to see any with no or truly mild perfume? I’ve been looking on and off through the years without finding any

    Shower gel: Original Source. We love the mint one in our household and have loved it for at least ten years. The brand is British and vegan too, for those who care. They have a lot of fun and wacky variants, but the mint one is still the best one.

    For hair I will probably return to Elvital (L’Oreal Paris) when my last Herbal Essence bottle is empty.

    As for face creams and other stuff like that, I use Neutral which is a Danish brand that is known for their neutral products that are suitable for people with allergies or people like me who would like to put less toxic shit on our skin.

    Whichever one has no warnings in ToxFox¹. I am partial to Schwarzkopf’s Nature Box line but I’m the end I’m not picky as long as there’s no nasty shit in there.

    ¹Explanation for non-Germans: ToxFox is a mobile app released by German eco-NGO BUND. It lets you scan a cosmetic product’s barcode to look it up in an ingredients database. It will show warnings if the product contains stuff like microplastics or ingredients that aren’t entirely harmless.

    My hair likes some Garnier conditioners and masks. I thought Aussie was, well, Australian but it seems that’s part of pg so… And I’ve been using a solid shampoo that’s great but I threw the wrapper many months ago and I can’t remember the brand.

      As an Aussie I feel obligated to say I never had seen Aussie before until I was on holidays in Canada. I found it bloody hilarious.
