A range of Unilever products on display or being used.
Detailed description
Three Dove Intensive Repair haircare products are displayed on separate plinths and are revealed as the camera pans around – two bottles with pump dispensers and one jar. The Dove logo is displayed briefly before the camera pans from the opposite side and zooms in to text on one of the bottles which reads ‘Conditioner. Bio-protein care + Amino Serum’ and ‘BIO-P’ inside a circle.
A bottle of Hellmann’s Spicy Mayonnaise dressing is shown in a fridge surrounded by tubs, jars, tomatoes, peppers and other fresh produce. A plated chicken burger – in a bun with salad leaves and pickles – is then seen alongside the bottle of spicy mayo. A hand lowers and presses down on the top of the burger. Someone then picks up the burger in both hands before biting into it.
Three Dove products are being carried on a silver tray and are placed on a surface. As the products come into focus, we can see there are three different variants of Whole Body Deo with different skin benefits – a tube that is ‘PH Balancing’, a spray can which is ‘cooling’ and a stick which is ‘anti-chafe’. We then see someone spraying the product from her stomach up towards her neck and throwing her head back as she does so.
A bottle of Persil Wonder Wash next to a pile of towels. A washing machine with the programme selector set to ‘short cycle’. Usain Bolt looking in through the washing machine door as the drum starts to rotate with the words ‘designed for the shortest cycle’ shown on screen.

“In 2025 we became a simpler, sharper, and faster Unilever, delivering our commitment to volume growth, positive mix and strong gross margin. Our underlying sales growth improved throughout the year as we landed a strong innovation plan, drove improvements in key emerging markets and successfully completed the Ice Cream demerger. We have set clear priorities for growth – building a brand portfolio for the future, with more Beauty, Wellbeing and Personal Care, prioritising premium segments and digital commerce, and anchoring our growth in the US and India. Despite slowing markets, our sharper focus and disciplined execution underpin our confidence for 2026 and beyond.”
