Superdrug has also donated an additional 5000 products to the nurses working at the NHS Nightingale Field Hospital, to ensure they have the toiletries they need whilst working away from home.
In addition to this, many have reported suffering with damaged skin on face and hands after wearing PPE for long shifts and regular handwashing.
To help care for damaged skin Superdrug has included multi-use heavy-duty, unfragranced moisturisers within each of the parcels.
Superdrug is also supporting its charity partner Beauty Banks by donating a further 5200 units of Superdrug own brand heavy duty moisturising products to their Helping Hands campaign, which will then be distributed to NHS staff on the frontline across the country.
In addition, a partnership with a London foodbank has enabled Superdrug to donate over 30,000 essential food products to help support people in need within the community.
