'The Right to Shower' is a new brand from [Unilever](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lux) that donates 100% of the profits from the sales of its [body wash and bar soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foaming-body-wash) to making hygiene services accessible to people who are homeless. While showers and body care products can sometimes be taken for granted by those who use these things every day, the brand offers a simple way for people to support a purpose-driven mission.

The brand offers body washes in varieties like Dignity, Hope, Strength and Joy, each of which boasts [nourishing ingredients and comforting scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caress-body-wash-collection). These multipurpose products can also be used as hand soap, shampoo and face wash, adding even more value to the already affordable $12 body wash products.
