The much loved Herbal Essences brand was launched in the 1970s. Herbal Essences was about more than straightforward shampoo and conditioner, it was about an experience, and was a real breakthrough at the time. Herbal Essences' primary focus has always been about the experience. This was brought to the consumer by way of delightful fragrances and desirable botanical extracts to create a luscious pleasure for the user. Fast forward to 2008 and the importance of the experience holds fast. But as times change and in a haircare market that's full to bursting, things have moved on. 'What we've done is restage the brand in a way that enables people to buy the products according to the end benefit they're after' says Herbal Essences Scientist Dr. Rene Rust.

'We have combined the experience, something Herbal has always been about, with products that have the latest technologies for state of the art performance and which are especially tailored to what consumers need today.' In other words, Herbal scientists have produced an advanced set of formulations, and have tied in the Herbal experience - an intensively enjoyable showering sensation, specifically designed to enhance the final result.

What is the new ''Great Escape'' advertising campaign?

Herbal Essences has blossomed and along with technologically advanced formulas, luscious hair end benefits, incredible scents and fabulous packaging, a sensational new advertising campaign has been created to celebrate the changes. Beautiful imagery, luscious hair and a genuine element of fantasy come alive in the new Great Escape campaign, but how did we get there?
Since the 1970s, Herbal Essences has stood out from the crowd. It's never been just about great hair - there has always been something more in the form of a fabulous experience, from the Garden of Earthly delights back in the 70s or the Yes, Yes, Yes in the 90s.
But it was time for a change. It's 2009 and it's time for Herbal Essences to change. Everything from the bottle to what's inside is transforming so it's only right that the advertising reflects and celebrates this.
Herbal Essences has created a campaign that gives the audience a fabulous experience and keeps the humour that is so loved and appreciated. But Herbal has grown up and therefore the sense of humour reflects this and in the new campaign, the jokes move on from one-off gags to smart wit.
Have you ever closed your eyes in the shower and floated away? On a Herbal Essences Great Escape you can visit a pleasurable place filled with lusciously fragrant ingredients where you always leave with luscious hair and a smile. Anything can, and does, happen here from cactus hairbrushes to raspberry maidens to dressing table rafts - it's all possible once you pop the Herbal cap.
We hope you enjoy moments of luscious personal pleasure with the new Herbal Essences Great Escape advertising campaign.

So you are concerned about animal welfare. So are we!

Unfortunately some misinformation has recently appeared which may have compromised your trust in Herbal Essences. Rather than trust wrong information here are the facts:

  • Herbal Essences products are not tested on animals. Full stop. Nor do we ask any supplier or contract lab to test them on our behalf. All messages implying Herbal Essences or any other P&G Beauty product was tested on animals are a wrong!
  • We also do not test single ingredients on animals, except in very rare cases when needed to meet regulatory or safety obligations
  • In fact, P&G is a global leader in supporting alternatives to animal research, having invested more than $250 million to date in helping to develop more than 50 proven alternative methods. We collaborate with governments and universities to promote acceptance of alternatives.
  • We actively share our discoveries so that others can benefit from our progress. Our work has appeared in more than 400 scientific publications.

What does your company do to protect the environment?

Sustainability is deliberately embedded in our Company's Purpose to improve the lives of the world's consumers, now and for generations to come.

  • Sustainability is not new for us. We have a strong track record that illustrates our commitment to sustainability:

    - Environmental Protection (e.g. design waste out of products, facilities management, product safety, packaging reduction)
    - Social Responsibility (e.g. community programs, values, ethics, philanthropy, health, hygiene, safety, nutrition, education)
  • We help consumers develop more sustainable consumption behaviors through education campaigns and tools developed in partnership with 3rdparties (e.g. Ariel Cool Clean in collaboration with the French Energy Saving Agency, Future Friendly program with the Energy Savings Trust in the UK, Science-in-the-box website)
  • We have been recognized externally for our efforts, e.g. P&G is a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index since its inception and sector leader for 7 out of 9 years. P&G also received the 2008 European Business Award for Corporate Sustainability for its company-wide commitment to sustainable development



More specifically, P&G Beauty & Grooming is taking meaningful steps to reduce the environmental impact in producing our products.

  • In the past six years, P&G Beauty & Grooming manufacturing plants worldwide have promoted sustainability by reducing C02 emissions by 36 percent, energy usage by 28 percent, water usage by 23 percent (reductions are per production unit).

  • P&G Beauty & Grooming is developing new technologies to minimize the use of water in production facilities.
  • P&G Beauty's new manufacturing plant in Poland embraces state-of-the-art sustainability features to minimize environmental impact and improve the lives of those in and around the plant.
    - P&G Beauty & Grooming is extending these new sustainability practices to other plant sites, including Romania and Brazil, and will continue to further improve sustainability efforts with each new site.
    - The Poland team is studying alternative energy supplies and working with William McDonough's Cradle-to-Cradle team to assess development for a new level of eco-friendliness (Cradle-to-Cradle provides a framework for efficient and more sustainable product manufacturing).
