Pears

How the story began… 

Created in 1789 by Andrew Pears as the mildest way of cleansing, Pears Original is one of the UK’s oldest soaps. Despite being a huge commercial success in its early decades, Pears in the UK has gradually given way to increasing competition. Pears now stands out in pockets of markets around the world. Amongst them are India, where it is still marketed in its original translucent soap form, and, still maintaining its promise of mildness, in Nigeria and Sri Lanka as a well established baby care brand.

And in Sri Lanka…

The oldest local baby care brand in Sri Lanka, Pears was first launched in the country as a talcum powder – packed in a can – in August 1960. This was followed by the launch of baby soap in 1964, cologne in 1979, and cream and oil in 1989. The brand now boasts a full range of baby care products for skin and hair, renowned for its mildness and high standards in safety, an image further strengthened by the endorsement of Pears baby soap by the Royal Institute of Public Health, UK.

In March 2006, the Pears brand in Sri Lanka extended its portfolio to include three variants of the original translucent soap imported from India, to cater to the adult consumer who seeks mild and gentle products to care for her specific skin care needs.

Baby care expertise – we really mean it!

With its uncompromising pursuit of delivering safe and mild products for baby and mother, the brand has grown to be synonymous with baby care products in the country. Its expertise is however, not limited to merely supplying a superior range of pure and mild baby care products.

Through numerous campaigns and activities such as the Pears Safe Hands project which contributed 25 cents from every Pears baby care pack sold to a fund utilized to improve medical facilities afforded to children in needy hospitals around the country, the brand has constantly worked for the betterment of child care expertise in Sri Lanka.
