Packaging of the Month July 2025: SEPHORA COLLECTION Bubble Bath & Shower Gel in an iconic flat elliptical bottle with a floral pop art design
Shower gels are a dime a dozen, and even though the exact shapes vary a bit depending on the brand, the overall impression when looking at the shelves in drugstores and supermarkets is pretty much the same. This, in turn, gives newer brands the chance to stand out from the competition with unusual packaging. SEPHORA has recognised this opportunity and seized it with both hands: the special packaging design of its Bubble Bath & Shower Gel stands out and ensures the brand gets the attention it wants. What’s more, the design of our Packaging of the Month for July 2025 is truly impressive – for several reasons.
Flat elliptical bottle with floral pop art illustrations in bright colours
The first thing that catches the eye is the unique shape of the translucent or opaque plastic bottle with a simple flip-top cap, depending on the variety. It is elliptical and flat, giving it a playful and elegant look. The pop art design also impresses with large floral illustrations in bright, vibrant colours, each perfectly matched to the different fragrances. The colours are so distinct that consumers can easily differentiate between the varieties at the point of sale. At the same time, the striking design language and the uncluttered front design create connecting features for a strong brand identity.
Creative concept complemented by convenience and resource conservation
Apart from its visual appeal, the iconic elliptical bottle also offers practical advantages. Thanks to its rounded yet flat silhouette, it fits comfortably in the hand.
Another functional highlight of the product line is the refill packs, which are designed as easy-to-use stand-up pouches and are visually adapted to the respective variety of SEPHORA COLLECTION Bubble Bath & Shower Gel in the original bottle. This allows consumers to refill the main packaging again and again, saving money in the long term while conserving resources and reducing waste – in short, contributing to sustainability.
2-in-1 solution for tactile and olfactory enjoyment in the bathroom
With all the focus on packaging design, the properties of the product itself should not be overlooked. As the name suggests, the Bubble Bath & Shower Gel from the SEPHORA COLLECTION is a 2-in-1 product: it can be used as a bath foam and shower gel. When it comes into contact with water, the gel transforms into a creamy foam. There are five varieties to choose from: Argan, Cherry Blossom, Monoi, Coco and Coton. With these appealing tactile and olfactory characteristics, the foaming gel in the 260-millilitre bottle invites you to enjoy intense moments of pleasure in the bathroom.
Conclusion: Bath and shower gel for sensual moments of personal care
The flat elliptical shape clearly sets the packaging of SEPHORA COLLECTION Bubble Bath & Shower Gel apart from the competition. With its unusual silhouette, the bottle almost resembles a perfume bottle. The design varies between translucent and opaque depending on the variety. Large floral pop art illustrations in bright, vibrant colours characterise the packaging, which evokes a world of delightful fragrances and care and appeals to a young, aesthetically minded audience. Visually coordinated refill packs in practical stand-up pouches complement the product line – for greater convenience and resource conservation without compromising the overall visual appearance.
