Dabur launches Herb’l kids toothpaste with Iron Man and Elsa
MUMBAI: In a world brimming with chemicals, today’s parents often find themselves longing for the same thoughtful care their elders trusted.
Just as Dabur won hearts across generations with the timeless goodness of Chyawanprash, they’re now extending that legacy of trust to the tiniest smiles in the family.
Introducing Dabur Herb’l Kids Toothpaste—crafted for tiny teeth with no added chemicals, a strawberry-sweet promise of cavity protection, and the playful charm of Iron Man and Elsa from Frozen.
It’s not just toothpaste; it’s Dabur’s way of saying they’ve got your little ones’ backs, just like they had ours all along.
The toothpaste, crafted with natural ingredients, aims to motivate children to brush regularly while ensuring their oral health. It is free from fluoride, parabens, peroxide, triclosan, and SLS, making it a safe choice for parents.
Dabur India Limited, EVP – marketing, Abhishek Jugran highlighted the product’s purpose, “We are very happy to enter the kids’ toothpaste category with ‘Dabur Herb’l Kids Toothpaste.’ The two toothpaste variants have been designed specifically for boys and girls. Enamel on kids’ teeth is much thinner than that of an adult’s teeth, making them naturally prone to cavities. The new Dabur Herb’l Kids toothpaste, specially formulated for kids with all-natural ingredients, forms a protective layer over their enamel and fights decay-causing germs and bacteria. This new product will help motivate kids to brush and inspire parents to further instill healthy oral care habits at an early age.”
Priced at Rs 195 for 80g, the toothpaste is available in two variants: Iron Man for boys and Elsa for girls. This collaboration with Disney Consumer Products ensures the toothpaste appeals to fans of these iconic characters, making brushing a fun and engaging activity.
Dabur India Ltd., marketing head – oral care, Prashant Agarwal added, “Dabur continues to set a benchmark in the oral care industry by merging herbal wisdom with scientific innovation to provide effective solutions for oral health needs. The toothpaste has been made with researched herbal remedies and has 0% Fluoride, Paraben, Peroxide, Triclosan, and SLS. It protects against cavities, restricts bacterial growth, and promotes healthy teeth and gums. We are confident that the new Dabur Herb’l Kids Toothpaste will be loved by kids and trusted by parents. Each pack also has a QR Code enabling parents and kids to play a game, and lucky winners can get Iron Man and Elsa collectibles.”
Dabur Herb’l Kids Toothpaste is now available on e-commerce platforms and will soon be stocked in modern trade outlets. With its emphasis on safe, natural care and an exciting brushing experience, Dabur is set to redefine oral care for kids.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
