Dove soap-owner Unilever has fired the starting gun on a review of its health and beauty business that could see it sell off under-performing brands.

Review: The Dove soap-owner wants to offload brands that are growing at a slower rate

The FTSE 100-listed company wants to offload brands that are growing at a slower rate. Unilever will spend up to a year reviewing the beauty and personal care unit, the Sunday Times reported.

Analysts believe skincare line Simple and US haircare product Suave could face the axe. City insiders told the Mail that Unilever is not trying to make the business smaller, as it is still keen to buy new companies that are growing at a fast rate.
