Guy Tang donates over $1M of haircare products to those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic

#mydentity @Guy_Tang, a Henkel brand, is committed to helping those impacted by the COVID 19 Pandemic. To that end, as part of Henkel’s COVID-19 global solidarity program, #mydentity, and the brand founder, Guy Tang, are donating over $1 million worth of #mydentity haircare products to organizations supporting millions of individuals in highly impacted areas around the globe. These organizations help front-line heroes and essential workers, as well as support women, children and families who are rebuilding their lives through these difficult times. Personal care items are a necessity but can be a high expense that many families are unable to afford, especially with the high rates of unemployment at this current time. Additionally, front line workers such as nurses, doctors and hospital staff are working tirelessly, around the clock and need personal care items in hospital shower facilities.
