We’re proud to announce a major milestone as Kao Canada officially enters the sun protection category with the launch of Bondi Sands SPF 50. From early planning in 2024 to seeing the products live in stores and online today, this launch represents months of dedication, resilience, and close cross-functional collaboration. Entering a new, highly regulated category is no small feat, and this achievement reflects the outstanding work of teams across Canada and Australia, alongside our partners in Brand, Trade, Sales, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Quality, Finance and more. Together, these collective efforts have turned a long-term vision into a successful market entry. As Bondi Sands continues to grow in Canada, expanding into SPF strengthens our brand presence and supports our broader Consumer Care strategy focused on skin protection. Bondi Sands has already resonated with Canadian consumers through its approachable Australian spirit and sunless tanning portfolio. Now, with SPF 50 joining the lineup, we’re offering even more ways for Canadians to protect and care for their skin every day. We’re incredibly proud of the passion and teamwork behind this milestone. With Bondi Sands accelerating in Canada and now entering a new category, the momentum is just getting started. We’re excited for what lies ahead as we continue to expand our footprint and deliver meaningful innovation for Canadian consumers.
