INTRODUCTION

Lux soap is a very famous household product.There are a range of Lux soaps including
Lux International, Lux Beauty Soap and soaps for oily,dry and normal skin.

I regularly buy Lux ,for Normal

Skin, in packs of three 100 gr bars,when I was a young boy my Mother did likewise
bought Lux soap for our family. Indeed there can be few British households who are not
familiar with this very famous brand.
Lux soap is produced by the mighty Anglo Dutch multinational. Unilever, and they also
produce other well known brands including the likes of Pears and Dove soap. Lux is a
widely available product and my 100 gr bar which I am currently using is a nice
creamy,white colour,has a pleasant but not overpowering smell, and lathers very well.It
comes in a blue and white packet and is said to be specially enriched with Vitamin E to
care for normal skin,leaving it soft,smooth and glowing.

This well advertised personal care product often uses well known beauties including film
stars and models who are seen feeling very refreshed after bathing with Lux soap.It is
heavily advertised in India and Bollywood actresses are seen extolling its virtues. I find it
is a reliable,consistent,product that suits me just fine.
Lux soap first produced in United Kingdom in 1899. It was produced by British company name
Lever Brothers. Lever Brothers was founded in 1885 by William Hesketh Lever and his brother
James. They using glycerin and vegetable oil such as palm oil to manufacture soap called “Sunlight
Soap.” The flaked version of soap called Lux soap. Glycerin was a lucrative byproduct of the soap
making process, and by the end of 1886, Lever brothers also had a glycerin factory.

Lever opened their small office in New York in 1895. The company started selling Sunlight and
Lifebuoy but did not doing well until 1916. Lux soap was first launched in United States in 1916. The
Lux trademark was registered in United States in 1900.

Lux soap was launched in India in 1929. The soap's very first advertisement featured actress Leela
Chitnis as its brand ambassador. It was popularly known as 'the beauty soap of film stars.'

From 1930s right through 1970s, Lux soap colors and packaging were altered several times to
reflect fashion trends. In 1958 five colors were made up the range: pink, white, blue, green and
yellow. In 1990s, Lux launching its own range of shower gels, liquid soaps and moisturising bars.
Today, Lux soap is sold in 100 countries and sales achieved 1.0 billion euros in 2005 alone.

makes us feel like anything’s possible. And that's just what the Lux
range offers you on a daily basis – at a price you can afford.
A delight to the senses
Everything about the brand – from the look and feel of the
products and packaging to the subtle fragrances – is a delight to
the senses. In fact, Lux has been making waves since 1924, when
it launched the world's first mass-market beauty soap at a fraction
of the cost of some expensive brand.
