Katrina Kaif Sizzling in Latest Lux Ad Pictures

Lux soap was first launched in the UK in 1899 as a flaked version of Sunlight soap. Subsequently it was launched in the US in 1916, and marketed as a laundry soap targeted specifically at ‘delicate’. Lever Brothers encouraged women to home launder their clothes without fear of satins and silks being turned yellow by harsh lyes that were often used in soaps at the time. The flake-type soap allowed the manufacturer some leeway from lye because it did not need to be shaped into traditional cake-shaped loaves as other soaps were. The result was a gentler soap that dissolved more readily and was advertised as suitable for home laundry use Since the 1930s, many well-known Hollywood actresses have marketed the soap to women as a beauty enhancer. Today, the brand is still heavily advertised in India using Bollywood stars. Madhubala, Mala Sinha, Hema Malini, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Karisma Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Amisha Patel, Kareena Kapoor and Tabu have all been past brand ambassadors. Aishwarya Rai, Nikki jaiswal, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif are the present brand ambassadors of Lux.
