Beauty, personal and home care grew 3.6%, 3.7% and 6.1%, respectively.
May 1, 2026

In Q1 2026, Unilever‘s beauty and wellbeing grew 3.6%, personal care rose 3.7% and home care posted a gain of 6.1%.
“We have started the year well with volume-led growth driven by our Power Brands and a positive performance across all Business Groups,” said Unilever CEO Fernando Fernandez. “There is broad-based momentum across our emerging markets business, with a strong performance in India, and a good recovery in Latin America following the decisive actions we have taken in that region. We continue to move at speed to build a simpler, sharper Unilever with a structurally higher growth profile and a brand portfolio fit for the future.”
Beauty & Wellbeing grew 3.6% balanced between volume and price (1.9% from volume and 1.6% from price). Growth was driven by continued strength in Dove and Vaseline, good momentum in our prestige brands, and a return to volume growth in Sunsilk. Wellbeing declined low-single digit against a very strong comparator in the first quarter.
Personal care grew 3.7% with 1.1% from volume and 2.5% from price, was driven by mid-single digit growth in deodorants and skin cleansing. Dove’s continued strong performance in both categories was supported by premium innovation. Deodorants returned to growth in Latin America following our actions to improve format mix in Brazil.
Home care grew 6.1% with 6.2% from volume and (0.1)% from price, reflected improving momentum and competitiveness across key markets, including strong volume-led growth in India and Brazil, partly offset by weaker markets in Europe.
Full year 2026 outlook for Unilever remains unchanged. However, officials expect underlying sales growth for full year 2026 to be at the bottom end of our multi-year guidance range of 4% to 6%, with at least 2% underlying volume growth for the full year. Officials anticipate a modest improvement in underlying operating margin for the full year versus 20.0% in 2025.
