I am also very interested in this. When I researched it, all the suggested replacements were made by other companies who do business in Russia or generally have questionable practices (like Olay or Cetaphil).
What questionable practices does Cetaphil have?
I’m glad you asked - they used to be owned by Nestle, but it looks like that hasn’t been the case since 2019! So I was acting on outdated info. Maybe Cetaphil is the replacement we are looking for! Their gentle cleansing bar is (or used to be - haven’t used it in a while) very moisturizing.
But are those companies complying with Russia’s conscription order?
Olay is made by Proctor and Gamble, and Cetaphil is made by Galderma. The former does business in Russia (factories), I’m not sure about the latter. As far as the conscription order, I think Unilever is the only soap maker complying?
