MUMBAI: India's natural beauty heavyweight Lotus Herbals is ramping up promotion for its latest sun-shielding innovation with a multimedia marketing assault. The company's Safe Sun Ultra Rx Sunscreen Serum SPF60+ PA++++ is being thrust into the spotlight via a campaign blanketing OTT platforms, television channels and social media.
The new offering aims to solve the sun-protection conundrum that has long plagued consumers: effective coverage without the dreaded white-cast ghosting or breakout-inducing heaviness. This water-based formulation, infused with skin-strengthening Cica and hydrating hyaluronic acid, promises to disappear into the skin within seconds while delivering industrial-strength sun protection.
The promotional film employs a see-saw metaphor to highlight how most sunscreens force users into an unwelcome compromise between protection and appearance. Enter the protagonist who demonstrates how this serum tips the scales in favour of both benefits.
Says Lotus Herbals chairman and managing director Nitin Passi. " Our new campaign for the Safe Sun UltraRx Sunscreen Serum highlights the unmatched protection this sunscreen offers and also celebrates the aspirations and needs of the modern woman. This revolutionary water-based serum, with SPF60+ PA ++++ emboldens women to combat the sun, with unwavering confidence, while nurturing healthy blemish free skin.”
The marketing push includes presence across JioHotstar, regional TV channels, and social platforms, complemented by in-store promotional materials designed to lure shoppers at the point of purchase.
Lotus Herbals' Safe Sun range now boasts over 22 variants, having pioneered several sunscreen innovations in the Indian market, including the country's first matte gel sunscreen and sports-focused sun blocks. This latest serum appears to be their answer to young consumers tired of being forced to choose between sun safety and social-media-ready skin.
