We need to talk about food inequality
ONLY SHAMPOO was made to provoke change for an unacceptable food crisis. While our hair has access to “ingredients” like pineapple extract, almond oil and milk proteins in our shampoos, millions of people in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia and South Sudan face emergency levels of hunger and malnutrition.
Seems unacceptable? That’s because it is.
Our hair
isn’t
hungry.
People
are.
today, food inequality is driven by conflict, climate change, and a cost-of-living crisis.
