Brief Explanation

There are plenty of advertising warning us of the water crisis, but none reminds us to take action at the right time and place. As a body wash product, Protex naturally sits in the shower where the wastage occurs and where no medium is readily available to remind consumers. The opportunity was to turn the product itself into a key touch point, to deliver a smart and timely conservation message that is activated by the very water being wasted. To do this, the packaging of Protex body wash was printed with a special hydrochromic ink and appears all white. But when exposed to water, a message reveals itself to remind us to turn off the tap when we soap in the shower.
