While its logo (along with a former advertisement mascot) is a kangaroo, and slogan is "Add some Roo to Your Do!", along with earlier advertisements having the voiceover of an Australian woman, the brand is not Australian owned, made, nor conducts research & development in Australia. The products are manufactured in Europe and the United States by Procter & Gamble, an American company. The brand and initial product was created by American businessperson Thomas Redmond in the late 1970s

Weird they chose hair products as something to sell as Australian, though. You don't exactly think of us when you think of hair care, do you?

Two Australian brands I've seen doing well overseas are Rip Curl and Billabong. Beach stuff. And yes, I can imagine people around the world associating us with beaches.
