Sunlight Laundry Bar

In June 2011, Sunlight launched a new variant, Sunlight Germiguard. SUNLIGHT Germiguard is the same mild and gentle hard bar consumers have always trusted – the difference is it contains added germ protection which removes up to 99% of germs and odours*! Consumers are becoming more aware of germ protection but the price of hygiene products is sometimes too high for many low-income earners. That’s where new SUNLIGHT Germiguard comes in – it’s a multi-purpose bar that removes up to 99% of germs and odours* AND it’s at an affordable price!

In March 2012, Sunlight introduced a fresh, new laundry bar, Sunlight Tropical! Now consumers can have the same mild and gentle cleanse they expect from Sunlight, but with the added benefit of a Tropical fragrance.

Sunlight Dish Washing Liquid: In April 2012, Sunlight Dish Washing Liquid launched the 750ml Pouch, a great value Refill pack.

Sunlight Washing Powder: In April 2015, Sunlight was re-launched with updated fresh new packaging!
