‘Why should our hair get to eat when millions of people can’t?’: Oxfam launches shampoo to highlight global food inequality
To mark National Hair Day (October 1), Oxfam has launched Only Shampoo to raise awareness about global food inequality.
It highlights that 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.
Oxfam Australia chief executive Lyn Morgain said it’s staggering to think that, here in Australia, many shampoos contain more nutrients than millions of people have access to every day.
