Johnson’s Baby, the world’s No.1 baby and childcare brand,
announces the launch of its new campaign, ‘Poshan Ka Pehla Sparsh’ for its
Johnson’s Baby Milk & Rice Range. Inspired by the traditional Indian Annaprashan
ceremony, which marks a baby’s first intake of solid food, Johnson’s Baby
reimagines this cultural ritual through the lens of skincare with its ‘Food
for Skin Ritual’. The campaign brings alive the idea that nourishment,
which begins from a baby’s first foods now extends to a baby’s delicate skin.
Conceptualized by McCann India, the campaign film is set
during a baby’s first food ceremony, a milestone celebrated across Indian
households. It captures a lively and relatable family moment, as grandparents,
uncles, aunts, and other family members eagerly compete for the privilege of feeding
the baby first. Amidst the playful chaos, the mother shares a quiet, heartfelt
moment with her baby, recognising that milk and rice have been part of her
baby’s nourishment journey since Day 1, from caring for the baby’s delicate
skin to this important food milestone. The story culminates with the
introduction of the new Johnson’s Baby Milk & Rice Range and its central
message, ‘Poshan Ka Pehla Sparsh’.
Commenting on the new campaign, Peeyush Unikkat, Group
Product Manager – Johnson’s Baby said, "For generations, milk and
rice have been trusted by Indian families as among the first foods introduced
to nourish a baby. With ‘Poshan Ka Pehla Sparsh’ campaign, Johnson’s Baby
celebrates this cultural tradition by extending the idea of nourishment beyond
what goes inside to how we care on the outside. Inspired by these purposeful
ingredients, the Johnson’s Baby Milk & Rice Range is designed to nourish
and help protect a baby’s delicate skin barrier from Day 1. It reflects our
continued commitment to creating products that parents can trust from the very
first touch.”
The new Johnson’s Baby Milk & Rice Range is enriched with
the goodness of milk proteins and rice extracts, along with Vitamin E,
glycerin, and a multivitamin complex. It is specially formulated to nourish and
help protect a newborn’s delicate skin barrier while delivering long-lasting
moisturisation. Designed as a complete skincare regimen, the range includes a
Soap, Wash & Shampoo, Lotion, and Face & Body Cream. All products are
clinically proven mild, pH balanced, and hypoallergenic. The Nourishing Milk
& Rice Lotion and Face & Body Cream provide up to 24-hour
moisturisation through lightweight, fast-absorbing formulations that help
protect against dryness while strengthening the skin’s natural moisture
barrier.
Speaking
about the creative insight, Chitra Bhanu & Siddhesh Khatavkar, Executive
Creative Directors, McCann India
said, "The unique ingredient story, milk and rice are among a baby’s
first nourishing foods which naturally inspired a creative that is rooted in
care, growth, and the baby’s first food ceremony. Blending the warmth of
Johnson’s world with playful mischief, we brought ‘Poshan Ka Pehla Sparsh’ campaign
to life in a way that feels both rooted and relatable.”
Benaifer Mallik, Director of the Film from Flirting Vision said, "This campaign was all
about capturing the beautiful, chaotic madness of an Indian family rallying
around a baby's Annaprashan. Getting those raw, candid moments of baby on
camera reminded me, why Johnson’s Baby films are always special.”
The campaign will be rolled out across digital platforms,
social media, and amplified through 1000+ influencers across the country bringing
the story of care, nourishment, and gentle protection to parents across the
country.
