Sunlight

Launched in Victorian England, Sunlight was one of Unilever’s first products – and was the world’s first packaged and branded soap.

Sunlight has been making hygiene and cleanliness affordable around the world since the 1880s.Unilever founder William Hesketh Lever launched the Sunlight Soap brand in the UK in 1885. At the time, Victorian England was plagued by poverty and ill health, and he wanted to revolutionise hygiene, bringing it within the reach of ordinary people.

Formulated with fresh lemon extracts to cut through grime and grease, Sunlight harnessed the power of natural ingredients.

More than 100 years later…..Sunlight is now found around the world, and is used for cleaning dishes, clothes and skin.

The power of limes & lemons has been the secret to Sunlight’s degreasing power for decades and limes & lemons are still a key ingredient in the formula. We also use other natural products, such as aloe vera, mineral salt and green tea to maximise the results, and minimise the number of chemicals in our products and in the environment.

In Malaysia, Sunlight is the No. 1 dishwashing brand and has been a trusted household name for many years. Loved by local consumers, we were proudly recognized as the “Most Chosen Brand” by Kantar for three consecutive years (2022–2024).

Our mission is to continue serving Malaysian households with our breakthrough formulation and instant degreasing technology, delivering both effectiveness and efficiency in dishwashing—so consumers can spend less time at the sink and more time on what truly matters.
