Face Wash industry in Bangladesh

Competitive review:

The purpose of a competitive review is to identify key competitors, describe their market positions, and briefly discuss their strategies.

Ponds:

Pond’s Cream is a brand of beauty and health care products that is produced by the Ponds Institute which is owned by the multinational company Unilever. Pond’s Cream was invented in the United States as a medicine by scientist Theron T. Pond (1800–1852) in 1846.

In 1886 it was began to advertise nationally. They would, however, advertise under the name of Pond’s Healing until 1910and in 1914 Pond’s Cold Cream and Vanishing Cream marked the brand’s evolution to a beauty icon. By the mid-1920s it was reflecting this positioning with endorsements by society beauties. Its stylish image was underpinned by guarantees of product delivery and an understanding of women’s beauty routines and needs.

In 1955 Pond’s Extract Company merged with Chesebrough Manufacturing and in 1987 Unilever purchased Chesebrough-Pond’s. By this time the Pond’s brand had built up a powerful international presence.

Pond’s started out with a cold cream and was merged with Chesebrough Manufacturing Company in 1955. The Pond’s cold cream then became available in supermarkets throughout the US. Their bottle design is still followed today. Soon many more products were launched under the Pond’s brand name and it rose to new heights with its skincare products.

Ponds Daily Face Wash is soap free, which means it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals that could harm your skin. Instead, it contains organic surface active agents that benefit all skin types. Its creamy lather is effective for removing all your makeup and dirt that you gather throughout the day, leaving behind clean, smooth and revitalized skin.

Olay:

Olay is a product truly born from love, as it was created by a man as a gift for his wife. In the 1950s, chemist Graham Wulff saw his wife Dinah’s frustration with the thick, waxy beauty creams that came in shoe-polish tins. They left her skin looking greasy, and they certainly didn’t fit with her feminine sensibility. Graham wanted to create a new beauty product for her—one that could not only moisturize her skin, but also leave her feeling beautiful and feminine.

Olay was enjoying phenomenal success in South Africa, and in 1959 expanded into England, the United States, the Netherlands, Canada and Germany. Needless to say, the Olay business flourished. Eventually, Olay was sold to Richardson Merrill, which later became Richardson-Vicks. In 1985, Procter & Gamble bought Richardson-Vicks and gained the Olay brand. In 2000, Procter & Gamble decided to shorten the brand name to Olay. The formula had evolved over the years, and the original name no longer fit with what women have come to expect from Olay—a light, greaseless formula that absorbs quickly into the skin.

Dove:

Dove first launched in the US during the 1950s; Dove cleansing bar with its moisturizing properties was originally developed to treat burn victims during the war. In 1957 the basic Dove bar formula was refined and developed into the “Original Dove Beauty bar”. It was launched as a beauty soap that was clinically proven to be milder on dry and sensitive skins. Then gradually it launches many new products like: Men’s care product, Pro-age skin care, Young girl skin care Hair therapy, body care etc. In 2011, Dove introduces the new line of Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care line formulated with weightless Nutria-Oils to nourish your hair.2011 also launches Dove Hair Therapy patented Fabre Actives technology to reconstruct hair from the inside. New products to look out for include Dove Intensive Overnight Crème and Dove Intensive Repair Mask.

In 1900, the new owner Oskar Troplowitz developed a water-in-oil emulsion as a skin cream with Eucerit, the first stable emulsion of its kind. This was the basis for Eucerin and later, Nivea. Nivea comes from the Latin word niveus/nivea/niveum, meaning ‘snow-white’.
