Unilever Vietnam

Lifebuoy is one of Unilever's oldest brands, a brand that was truly 'global' before the term 'global brand' was invented. Lifebuoy Royal Disinfectant Soap was launched in 1894 as an affordable new product in the UK, to support people in their quest for better personal hygiene. Soon after launch, Lifebuoy soap travelled across the world, reaching countries such as India, where even today it is still the market leading brand.

LIFEBUOY PRODUCTS

The Lifebuoy brand has, since 1894, supported people in their quest for better personal hygiene. The classic red bar of Lifebuoy soap and its distinctive medicated carbolic smell was synonymous with cleanliness throughout the twentieth century.

Today, the Lifebuoy brand is more than the quintessential bar of red soap.  With its multiple soap variants and specially designed body washes, Lifebuoy protects families from 10 infection causing germs.  These, along with its range of liquid hand washes and hand sanitizers ensure daily hygiene and freshness for the entire family.

LIFEBUOY SAVES LIVES

Consistent in Lifebuoy's 110+ year history has been its championing of health through hygiene. The brand's core promise of protection and a commitment to support life through unbeatable protection is at the heart of the brand name itself – Lifebuoy, the guarantee of protection when you are threatened. For example, a 1930's campaign in the US was titled 'Clean hands help guard health', encouraging the use of Lifebuoy soap to kill the germs on hands that can cause health issues. A similar campaign continues today, with Lifebuoy hygiene education programmes ongoing in countries including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Vietnam.
