1. Objective of Releasing the New Product
Dishwashing: The No. 1 disliked chore. But how satisfied are consumers with the results?
Consumers rank dishwashing as their "most disliked" daily chore. On the other hand, about eight in ten say that they are "more or less 100% satisfied" with the cleanliness of dishes after "normal washing" (Lion survey). Given this data, Lion hypothesized that the reason consumers hate doing the dishes despite being generally satisfied with the results must lie within the washing process itself.
Consumers want to finish the dishes quickly, but won't compromise on stubborn grime
A detailed Lion survey into consumer dishwashing processes found that when dealing with stubborn grease, many consumers wipe off dishes before washing, scrub meticulously or even wash dishes a second time to completely remove grease. In other words, washing dishes entails a great deal of time and effort for many consumers. We were thus able to conclude that dealing with stubborn grease is what makes washing dishes so burdensome.
Nano-cleansing makes stubborn grease slide off as easily as water
Lion's research into eliminating stubborn grease and grime has led to the development of a new detergent that employs nano-cleansing technology to make grease slide like water off dishes from the moment washing up begins. This nano-cleansing, achieved thanks to proprietary Lion technology, enables cleaning agents to quickly penetrate grease, soften it at the nano-level, and break it up almost instantly. As a result, greasy grime offers less resistance, and dishwashing goes smoother and finishes sooner.

Lion has incorporated nano-cleansing technology into its new Magica dishwashing detergent, to be released on January 21, 2015. Magica easily removes grease and quickly gets dishes clean. In a survey, nine out of ten consumers who tried Magica said that they were able to wash off grime "easily," and eight in ten said that they were able to finish the dishes "quickly." One consumer commented that the new detergent worked "just like magic," inspiring the name Magica.

Until now, washing the dishes has taken a great deal of time and effort. With the release of Magica, Lion is helping to make this chore quick and easy and make kitchen work more efficient.

Proprietary nano-cleansing technology breaks up stubborn grease in no time
The cleansing ingredients in Magica penetrate and soften grease extremely quickly, breaking it up more finely to efficiently remove it. (Compared with previous Lion products.)
