FMCG major Jyothy Labs Limited on Tuesday announced its foray into the hand sanitizer space under its personal care brand Margo.
According to the company, Margo hand sanitizers would be infused with the traditional neem extracts.
Recently, the company had extended the brand Margo into the hand wash segment, Jyothy Labs said in a statement.
“This is also a unique opportunity for us to serve the society at large by offering a product at an affordable price. We have introduced Margo Hand Sanitizer in a short period to ensure we contribute more meaningfully in fighting COVID-19,” Jyothy Labs Managing Director Jyothy MR said.
Jyothy Labs owns the brand Margo following the acquisition of controlling stake in Henkel India.
Amid the ongoing pandemic, the use of hand sanitizer has become crucial in the absence of soap and water as it ensures maximum protection. Margo hand Sanitizer is alcohol-based and is infused with Neem Extracts which gives 99.9% germ kill. It comes in a 40ml SKU priced at Rs. 20. The pocket-sized bottle with a flip open cap makes it easy to be carried.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends frequent use of hand sanitizer in the absence of soap and water to stay protected in the fight against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With the launch of Margo Hand Sanitizer, the company aims to contribute its participation towards society in these difficult times.
