Background
Old Spice has been a Procter & Gamble brand since P&G bought it from the Shulton Company in 1990. What is documented at brand level in Israel is purely commercial — distribution by the Israeli group Diplomat, imported stock, no local factory — and this pass found no Old Spice donation, in-kind aid, sponsorship, statement or political contribution to Israeli military, government or relief causes. The Israel-related actions that boycott posts attach to Old Spice belong to the parent and must be attributed there: P&G runs the subsidiary P&G Israel M.D.O. Ltd. and, since 2007, the 'Israel House of Innovation' open-innovation hub, created under a bilateral agreement with Israel's Office of the Chief Scientist that gives Israeli startups collaborating with P&G favourable access to government funding. P&G issued no corporate statement on the war after October 7, 2023 — its CFO called the attack and the war that followed a 'human tragedy'. The only P&G brand with documented brand-level philanthropy inside Israel is Pantene, via the children's-cancer charity Zichron Menachem; that record is not Old Spice's. Neither Old Spice nor P&G appears on the BDS movement's official boycott target lists.

Old Spice deodorants and body products are sold in Israel through Diplomat Distributors (1968) Ltd., the Israeli-headquartered marketing and distribution group (group headquarters at 4 Hermon St., Airport City, Israel). Old Spice is named on Diplomat's Israel-specific Procter & Gamble vendor listing — in both its English and Hebrew versions — alongside Gillette, Tide, Pampers, Braun, Tampax, Lenor, Ariel, Fairy and KCG. The brand's owner, Procter & Gamble, separately maintains the subsidiary P&G Israel M.D.O. Ltd., listed in P&G's FY2025 10-K subsidiaries exhibit. No Old Spice manufacturing plant in Israel is documented — stock sold there is imported. This is a distribution arrangement, not a donation. |
