Super Mom Marian Rivera-Dantes shows how soap-damaged skin can be restored to being completely nourished

Moms are heroes, no question. They will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure their family gets the best care they can provide. But there is a battle where even moms are tricked into thinking they have won, and could potentially harm their and their babies’ precious, soft skin. However, with the help of JOHNSON’S®, moms can become super moms by saving soap-damaged to complete nourishment!
At the JOHNSON’S® Supermoms’ Transformation event, its new ambassadors, supermom Marian Rivera-Dantes and Baby Zia, were unveiled. The event showcased how moms can become supermoms by helping save skin from being soap-damaged.
“We grew up in a society where that squeaky-dry feeling is the desired feeling after taking a bath. However, more than half of Filipino moms do not know that this actually means that their and their babies skins are already soap-damaged, and it is an unseen battle they are currently facing,” shared JOHNSON’S® Franchise Marketing Manager Bessie Campillo. “As a company who has been at the helm of helping Filipino moms show the best kind of care they can give their babies, we at J&J Philippines are happy to introduce JOHNSON’S® Milk+Oats™– our best-ever variant that will help address the under-recognized problem of soap-damaged skin among babies, toddlers, and even moms!”
In a study conducted by J&J among moms, they were asked to assess their babies’ skin health. Only 10% believed theirs had dry skin, yet, after diagnosis, they found out that 60% of their babies have clinically-visible dry skin. Clearly, most moms are being misled into believing their babies’ skin are in the pink of health. Fact: the resulting after-bath squeaky feeling from using bar soap is already a clear indication of dry skin – even without visible flaking or roughness.

The Transformative Journey from Soap-Damaged Skin to Nourished Skin
During the launch event, Marian, together with the guests, undertook the Supermoms’ Transformation, a Z-shaped activity area designed to help them go from being a regular mom to being a Supermom! The first phase of the guests’ Supermoms’ Transformation informed them of the hazards posed by squeaky-dry skin caused by using family bar soap, visualized by the rapid drop of moisture through the “healthy skin meter”, with the soap being cast aside afterwards.
Next they were introduced to the super powers of milk and oats – two potent ingredients specifically formulated to restore soap-damaged skin to its healthy, moisturized state. Demonstrated through a fun, ingredient-catching game, the healthy skin meter was immediately filled up by the power of Milk + Oats.
To provide solid, scientific background on the effectiveness of Oats on skin, Dr. Ma. Victoria Dizon informed the guests of its gentle, skin-friendly moisturizing properties ideal for baby and mommy use. For a first-hand experience of the power of the new JOHNSON’S® Milk+Oats™ baby bath and lotion, guests applied the products on their skin, with the healthy skin meter instantaneously detecting the increase in moisture.
Finally, bedecked with several “super items” (armband, gloves and cape) collected from the previous areas, the last phase of the Supermoms’ Transformation sees guests become Super Moms: transformed by the knowledge of harmful soap experience and the restorative power of Milk + Oats! After completing her own transition into a Super Mom, Marian congratulated all the moms for their super transformation, and related her own eye-opening experiences in the world of motherhood.
The Supermoms’ Transformation journey was made more super with milkshake refreshments, oatmeal cookies and even a complete bath time set of JOHNSON’S® Milk+Oats™ that were given to the attendees to complete their experience to a healthy and nourished skin transformation.

Get Cash, Rewards With Snapcart’s Latest Updates

   Snapcart users can now enjoy the app more as it brings in more updates and added features to increase cashbacks, simply by snapping receipts!

Snapcart is a mobile app that gives its users cashback by simply taking a snap of grocery receipts. In turn, data gathered from receipts provide real-time shopper insights to the app’s partner brands.

To bring in more rewards to app users, Snapcart announced users may take a snap, not just of grocery – but other retail stores such as pharmacies, health and beauty stores. This will eventually expand to all retail establishments including food & beverages, electronics, and apparels, to name a few. Rewards increase as users regularly use the app.

“We received an overwhelming response from users. We got more than a thousand downloads per day in the first weeks of the launch, surpassing our already strong results in Indonesia, but we still got questions on what receipts to upload. To take the guesswork out and make it more rewarding for users, Snapcart decided to update its features to accept all types of receipts. We also made it more engaging by introducing in-app games that could let users win even more rewards”, said Snapcart Co-founder, Mayeth Condicion.

The new game is called Snaptastic, an in-app bonus game feature where users can accumulate coins just by filling out in-app surveys, watching videos, taking selfies with their favorite products, or guessing mystery products. These coins may be used to increase users’ chances of getting cash, and other interesting surprises like shopping vouchers from Snapcart’s partner brands.

What’s in it for enterprises?
On a global scale, e-commerce giants like Amazon and eBay dominate the use of real-time data analytics. Off the shelf brands continue to rely on manually gathered and limited data on consumer preferences and behavior.

In the Philippines, the online retail market accounts for more or less 3% of the population , majority of Filipino shoppers still prefer doing their shopping off the shelf, thus the need for a more efficient way to gather offline and online data.

Snapcart technology is able to bridge the gap in gathering online and offline data by analyzing receipts in real time, and providing meaningful insights on how to understand customers better, to grow brands, and to see what drives growth or assess effectiveness of marketing promotions and campaigns.

As Snapcart processes more variety of receipts, the app can expand data analytics services to industries beyond Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) to fashion, electronics, or food and beverages brands to name a few, providing more brands with better understanding of shoppers’ habits and preferences.

Snaptastic makes shopping more fun for users. While users have fun playing the in-app game, and increase cashbacks, brands on the other hand, gain more insight on consumer behavior through surveys, crowd-sourced images or more receipts that they submit while playing the game.

This is a breakthrough in an otherwise traditional way of conducting and answering surveys, and helps obtain even deeper insights about shoppers.

For more information, visit the Snapcart Asia website or Facebook and download the app at the Google Play Store.

Snapcart is Asia’s first real-time shopper engagement app where it allows brands to connect with its consumers directly. Since its launch in August 2016 in the Philippines (September 2015 in Indonesia), the app has been downloaded for over 20,000 times (500,000 in Indonesia) with very minimum marketing push. In attracting its loyal users, Snapcart offers cashbacks for users to upload their shopping receipts. Receipts’ data that Snapcart gets are compiled onto the company’s cloud-based data platform, which then used to provide clients with reports on real-time offline consumer spending and shopping habits--an inherently difficult information to source. To date, globally, Snapcart has partnered up with over 75 brands of fast-moving consumer goods. For more information,
