Lotus Herbals unveils marketing blitz for souped-up sunscreen serum
MUMBAI: India’s natural beauty heavyweight Lotus Herbals is ramping up promotion for its latest sun-shielding innovation with a multimedia marketing assault. The company’s Safe Sun Ultra Rx Sunscreen Serum SPF60+ PA++++ is being thrust into the spotlight via a campaign blanketing OTT platforms, television channels and social media.
The new offering aims to solve the sun-protection conundrum that has long plagued consumers: effective coverage without the dreaded white-cast ghosting or breakout-inducing heaviness. This water-based formulation, infused with skin-strengthening Cica and hydrating hyaluronic acid, promises to disappear into the skin within seconds while delivering industrial-strength sun protection.
The promotional film employs a see-saw metaphor to highlight how most sunscreens force users into an unwelcome compromise between protection and appearance. Enter the protagonist who demonstrates how this serum tips the scales in favour of both benefits.
Says Lotus Herbals chairman and managing director Nitin Passi. ” Our new campaign for the Safe Sun UltraRx Sunscreen Serum highlights the unmatched protection this sunscreen offers and also celebrates the aspirations and needs of the modern woman. This revolutionary water-based serum, with SPF60+ PA ++++ emboldens women to combat the sun, with unwavering confidence, while nurturing healthy blemish free skin.”
The marketing push includes presence across JioHotstar, regional TV channels, and social platforms, complemented by in-store promotional materials designed to lure shoppers at the point of purchase.
Lotus Herbals’ Safe Sun range now boasts over 22 variants, having pioneered several sunscreen innovations in the Indian market, including the country’s first matte gel sunscreen and sports-focused sun blocks. This latest serum appears to be their answer to young consumers tired of being forced to choose between sun safety and social-media-ready skin.

Lotus Herbals unveils HydroActivated sunscreen with high-impact campaign
Harnaaz Sandhu fronts digital push spotlighting breakthrough sun care tech
MUMBAI: Lotus Herbals has rolled out a high-decibel marketing campaign to introduce what it calls India’s first hydro-activated sunscreen, aiming to reshape how consumers think about sun protection.
At the centre of the launch is the Safe Sun HydroActivated Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA+++, a formulation built on a patent-pending Hydrosome Technology that activates on contact with moisture. Unlike conventional sunscreens that can weaken with sweat, this product is designed to do the opposite, boosting protection when the skin is exposed to water or perspiration.
The campaign is led by Harnaaz Sandhu and is being amplified across OTT platforms, social media and outdoor locations in key metro cities. The brand film takes a light, relatable approach to everyday sunscreen struggles such as uneven application and fading protection, while positioning the new product as a reliable, high-performance alternative for active lifestyles.
Beyond its core technology, the sunscreen features next-generation UV filters and Edelweiss Flower Extract, offering hydration alongside protection. The formula claims up to 10 hours of water resistance and even, all-round defence against sun exposure and tanning, targeting consumers who want both skincare and performance in one product.
Speaking about the launch, Lotus Herbals chairman and managing director Nitin Passi said, “We are excited to launch India’s first sunscreen with hydroactivated technology which is our most innovative product launch. This isn’t just a sunscreen; it’s a technological breakthrough that utilises a novel manufacturing process. We’ve created a product that stays invisible on the skin yet becomes a performance powerhouse when the user is most active.”
Sharing her experience, Lotus Herbals brand ambassador Harnaaz Sandhu said, “I am thrilled to be associated with Lotus Herbals Safe Sun for their new sun protection campaign. In my world, there is no room for shortcuts, and I need functional and reliable products that work as hard as I do. The hydroactivated sunscreen is a game-changer because it blends with my skin and protects me better when I’m pushing my limits.”
The campaign is being distributed across platforms including JioStar connected TV integrations and ZEE5, along with television placements such as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in West Bengal. A large influencer push involving over a thousand creators, along with in-store branding and retail activations, is also part of the rollout.
With a blend of science-led positioning and mass-market storytelling, Lotus Herbals is betting on innovation to stand out in the crowded sun care segment, hoping its moisture-powered promise strikes the right chord with today’s always-on consumers.
