Fabric and home care and health services, including C resting toothpaste, also performed well.
Its grooming business, which includes the Gillette brand , continues to lie, even though sales declined moderately from the previous quarter. Organic sales in their grooming business fell 1%, compared to a 3% decline in the second quarter.
