CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dreft, the top pediatrician-recommended baby detergent brand, today announced a comprehensive packaging redesign, product name simplification, and product upgrade to enhance the laundry experience for parents nationwide. The refresh introduces clearer labeling with Dreft Baby, Dreft Toddler and Dreft Family liquid detergents, making it easier for caregivers to select the ideal formula for their child's developmental stage. Product names are simplified to Dreft Baby, Dreft Toddler, and Dreft Family for intuitive selection.

What’s New

• Dreft unveils modern, clean packaging for its entire liquid detergent lineup.
• Dreft Baby (formerly Newborn) now features an improved formula designed to tackle tough baby stains.
• The refreshed Dreft portfolio is available nationwide and on Amazon.
• These changes aim to reduce parental stress in choosing the right gentle yet effective detergent.

In today's fast-paced world, parents are constantly seeking ways to simplify daily routines without compromising on quality or safety. Laundry, especially with infants and active children, presents unique challenges, often involving stubborn stains and the need for gentle ingredients. The market demands solutions that are both effective and easy to navigate. Dreft's updated packaging and product nomenclature directly address this need, removing guesswork from the detergent aisle. By aligning product names with distinct life stages—from newborn sensitivity to full family laundry —Dreft empowers parents to quickly identify and trust the appropriate laundry solution, allowing them to focus more on family moments rather than laundry complexities.

“Parents have enough to think about in their day-to-day lives and choosing the right detergent should not be one of them,” said Jasmine Watters, Dreft Brand Director. “This update is all about simplifying that decision, with clearer product names and a fresh look, while continuing to deliver the gentle, effective clean families have trusted from Dreft for generations.”
