Pears Transparent Soap

Pears Soap was a cosmetic product of Andrew Pears, who was experimenting with soap purification. Pears manufactured the soap in a factory near Oxford Street, London, England. It was first sold in 1807 and is one of the oldest soap brand in the world. The company spread it roots to other countries including United States during the nineteenth century. In 1851, A. & F. Pears Ltd. was awarded a medal for its unique and gentle soap. It is a world famous brand but is most famous in India. It is now manufactured in India by Hindustan Unilever (HUL).

Pears is a transparent soap which originally had a mild fragrance of an English garden. The soap used to come in two sizes: 75g and 125g. However, nowadays, Pears transparent soap comes in three flavors: amber (the classic Pears as we all know), oil clear green, and mint (blue color). It now comes in 69g and 119g. However, the transparent formula of Pears has been kept intact. The brand has now expanded to produce face wash, shower gel and even hand wash and is a natural way to attain healthy looking skin.

Pears transparent soap contains hypoallergenic ingredients which cleanses and hydrates the skin. It also contains glycerin and sorbitol as well as natural oils and is specially made to take care of even sensitive and delicate skin. It contains water which helps the humectants (glycerin, sorbitol, etc) seal moisture into the skin.

 

 

Hamam

Established in 1931, Hamam is one of the oldest soaps in India which still maintains its reputation and has a special place in the hearts of Indians. To survive in such a competitive market for more than 80 years is a great achievment in itself. It faced stiff competition from soaps like Cinthol, Rexona but it still managed to create a space and environment for itself. Hamam was first manufactured by TOMCO (Tata Oil Mills Company) but later when Hindustan Lever Limited acquired TOMCO, Hamam became a brand of HLL. In February 2007, HLL was renamed to Hindustan Unilevel Limited (HUL).

Hamam is a natural soap and contains the goodness of neem, tulsi and aloevera with a characteristic mild fragrance. It is suitable for all age groups and protects us from many skin problems such as pimples, prickly heat, rashes, body odour, etc. In Tamil Nadu, Hamam is recomended by most of the doctors. Hamam was percieved as a complete family soap and with a strong marketing strategy, it was able to build an image of trust for itself.

When I was a child, I enjoyed bathing with Hamam and have an emotional connection with this brand.
