LUX Unveils its Revamped Sakura Series to Combat Winter Hair Damage
In an exciting development for beauty enthusiasts, LUX, the renowned total beauty care brand under Unilever Japan, is set to launch its much-anticipated Sakura series on December 8, 2025. This fresh lineup aims to tackle the harsh effects of winter dryness while delighting users with the enchanting fragrance of cherry blossoms, heralding the arrival of spring.
This year, the Sakura series will introduce new offerings stemming from the recently launched "Super Rich Crystal" and the revamped "Super Rich Shine" ranges, both of which have already garnered attention. The objective is straightforward: to protect hair from the accumulated damage brought on by winter while enveloping it in the beautiful scent of cherry blossoms — an ideal way to experience the “Winter Hair Revelation.”
Aims of the Sakura Series
The LUX brand is committed to creating a world where individuals can celebrate their unique beauty through hair care. As part of this mission, the 2025 Sakura series expands its offerings to include items inspired by the Super Rich Crystal series launched in March 2025, as well as those from the Super Rich Shine series, which underwent a major overhaul in September. Together, these products promise to shield hair against winter's dry conditions while providing an exhilarating “winter hair experience” infused with the vibrant fragrance of cherry blossoms. This series offers more than just in-shower care; it also features leave-in treatments, ensuring that every aspect of hair care is catered to.
