Vaseline – Sun Protection
Unilever
Claim: "Decrease/Reduce lines, dark spots, tanning and sunburn"
The Challenge
For the Sun Protection, Vaseline needed to communicate the "Decrease/Reduce lines, dark spots, tanning and sunburn" promise in the Sun Care category in a way shoppers could actually see not just read on a label. Standard claim copy and ingredient lists rarely move consumers in the few seconds they spend at shelf or in a consultation, especially when competing products list almost identical benefits.
The brief for the Sun Protection was to turn that abstract message into a tangible, repeatable proof point that retail staff, pharmacists or beauty advisors could run on demand, without lab equipment or specialist training, while staying on brand and on message for Vaseline.
The Approach
USP Demo Solutions designed the Sun Protection for Vaseline around the Sun Damage Demo - Dark Spots & Wrinkles method, the same proof logic our team uses across global sun care programmes. The tool reduces the Decrease/Reduce lines, dark spots, tanning and sunburn story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves, which gives the conversation a clear before/after moment instead of a one-way pitch.
Vaseline was looking for a consumer-engaging demo tool that would allow consumers to test the efficacy of their sun protection product, easily and within seconds, thus proving the product’s claim.
It was built to substantiate claim areas such as uv protection, anti-aging, whitening, damage protection, all from the same physical interaction with the Sun Protection, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Vaseline range.
The Result
The result for Vaseline is a protection against harmful uv rays delivered through the Sun Protection, something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than something they have to take on trust.
By replacing abstract product copy with a hands-on Sun Damage Demo - Dark Spots & Wrinkles moment, the Sun Protection gives Vaseline's sun care range a credible, science-backed conversation starter that moves the message from a label promise into a personal experience the shopper can repeat for a friend.
In the field, Vaseline runs the Sun Protection primarily for retail activation, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its core Sun Damage Demo - Dark Spots & Wrinkles logic.
