CLEAR is Unilever’s 3rd largest Hair brand and has experienced significant growth over the past 15 years through global expansion and a disruptive approach to the Anti-Dandruff shampoo market. The largest markets are China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil and Thailand.

We believe in never conforming to norms, never saying no to challenges, and always empowering our consumers with dandruff-free confidence.
