Unilever

Unilever, a Proud Sponsor of HealthyChildren.org from the American Academy of Pediatrics, is dedicated to serving consumers and the communities where they live, work and play.

Unilever strives to meet everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene and personal care with brands that help people feel good, look good and get more out of life. Each day, around the world, consumers make 160 million decisions to purchase Unilever products. Unilever's mission is to add vitality to life.

As the leading manufacturer of deodorant and antiperspirants, and maker of Degree® Men, Degree® Women, Degree® Girl, Dove® and Suave®- Unilever has aligned with a roster of community partners, assembled a panel of experts and developed an educational Facebook page, to provide parents with tools and kids with opportunities to build confidence and be inspired in everything they do.

To help understand today's tween landscape, Unilever's partnering deodorant and antiperspirant brands commissioned the Unilever Tween Confidence Index, which uncovered a key insight: tween confidence (in girls and boys aged 8-12) is short-lived, yet can be safeguarded as they grow by maintaining strong communication with their parents.

For expert tips, tools, more information from the Unilever Tween Confidence Index, and real life stories about how parents are communicating and transitioning their tweens into confident and self-reliant teens, check out our Don't Fret the Sweat Facebook page. It's your glorious guide to sweat, kids and confidence!
