TOKYO, July 5, 2016 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --
Unilever Japan K.K. has launched a campaign titled "CLEAR Headgear-Cover Plan. A Salute to Headgear Warriors." to promote CLEAR, a scalp care shampoo which is the world's best-selling male shampoo brand (*1). The campaign is also the world's first project (*2) to promote companies and sports teams to provide shampoo to their employees and players who wear headgear for work, thus exposing their scalps to risk.

Concept of the video
"CLEAR Headgear-Cover Plan. A Salute to Headgear Warriors." is a statement video that expresses the pride, significance, objective, and functionality of wearing headgear, as well as concerns for scalps. This message is emotionally expressed through the original hip hop music created by sampling the march "Pomp and Circumstance."

Headgear-Cover Plan
The headwear or headgear is part of a uniform, not only for safety and hygiene, but also represents professional pride. However, research shows that within 30 minutes of physical activity, the environment under headgear reaches a level of discomfort equivalent to being in a tropical rain forest (*3), damaging hair and scalp with perspiration and humidity, which could even affect performance. As a result of years of scalp research, CLEAR has come up with "CLEAR Headgear-Cover Plan. A Salute to Headgear Warriors." Just like resort facilities or sport gyms provided by companies to support maintenance of healthy minds and bodies of their employees, CLEAR proposes that companies should consider providing shampoo as bonuses to professionals who are constantly battling harsh scalp conditions.

Comment by Kenichi Toyoda, Editor-in-Chief of Gekkan Somu (monthly magazine for General Affairs)
"More and more companies will be adopting the philosophy of becoming "Healthy Companies," recognizing that the mental and physical health of their employees is a corporate asset. The CLEAR Headgear-Cover Plan can be positioned as a trendsetting example of a totally new type of internal support system that companies can adopt."
About "CLEAR"

Sold worldwide with a world's No.1 sales record for men's shampoo (*1), the brand made its full-scale Japan debut in 2014 and has since been growing rapidly, establishing its position as a scalp-care brand.
