Insights

P&G's launch of the reformulated Cascade Platinum Plus represents an incremental innovation within its home care portfolio rather than a revolutionary product introduction. The upgraded formula specifically targets the increased complexity in home cooking, with P&G's research identifying a rise in challenging-to-clean ingredients like proteins, meats, and cheese.

While the marketing partnership with Kenan Thompson and money-back guarantee demonstrate confidence in the product's performance, this launch follows P&G's standard playbook of continuous improvement to maintain category leadership. Cascade is already positioned as America's #1 recommended dishwasher detergent brand, suggesting this update aims to defend market share rather than dramatically expand it.

The cross-brand leveraging of Dawn's grease-fighting technology highlights P&G's ability to create operational synergies across its extensive product portfolio. However, this type of routine product reformulation rarely moves the needle financially for a company of P&G's size ($409B market cap).

For investors, this represents business-as-usual innovation that helps P&G maintain its competitive position against rivals like Reckitt Benckiser's Finish brand. The dishwasher detergent category itself represents only a fraction of P&G's home care segment, which is just one component of the company's diversified consumer goods portfolio. Without specific revenue projections or category growth targets, this launch appears designed to reinforce P&G's existing market leadership rather than materially impact overall financial performance.

Cascade partners with Comedian Kenan Thompson to Put Its Newest Formula to the Test and Let the Dishwasher Do The Work

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cascade®, America’s #1 recommended dishwasher detergent brand*, is launching New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus to address consumers’ top concerns of stuck-on food, tough grease and spotty dishes. The new product features an upgraded formula designed to remove up to 100% of food and deliver a virtually spot-free shine and dry. In a new campaign to support the launch, the brand has enlisted comedian Kenan Thompson to help put the product to the test and encourage consumers to embrace cooking at home without fear of the tedious cleanup.

More than one-third of Americans are now cooking at home four to six times per week, with more than 25% inspired by meal ideas sourced from their social media feeds.** A recent study by Procter & Gamble looked at today's most popular recipes and found a significant rise in the use of complex ingredients like proteins. Meat ranked at the top of the list, while cheese and eggs ranked in the top five most used ingredients. Cascade designed its new ActionPacs using a proprietary enzyme designed to work specifically on these traditionally tough-to-clean food combinations (like cheesy, baked on eggs and pan-seared meats) and included the grease-fighting power of Dawn.

“One of our top priorities is making sure that our products and innovations evolve with the consumers’ needs. Through research, we discovered that people are becoming more adventurous in the kitchen. They’re cooking with more complex ingredients, and we needed to ensure that our formula was leveling up the same way that consumers are with their cooking. New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus can tackle even the toughest messes being made in the kitchen today, delivering a superior clean,” says Angelica Matthews, Brand Vice President, North America Dish Care, Procter & Gamble.

Cascade Partners with Comedian Kenan Thompson

To encourage consumers to fearlessly take their at-home cooking (and cleaning) up a notch, Cascade has teamed up with comedian Kenan Thompson, a longtime Cascade user, to deliver a humorous and relatable take on the dreaded aftermath of cleaning a swarm of dirty dishes and pans in a new social media video, showing how simple the process can be now thanks to New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus.

“I love cooking at home, but the dread of the cleanup can hold me back from making the meals I want.” says Thompson. “With the New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus I can throw in my dirtiest, greasiest dish in the dishwasher, and it comes out clean every time. As a long-time Cascade-user, I can confidently say this is their best yet. I’m a cooking machine now that I’m totally confident the dishwasher will get the job done.”

With New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus, dishwashing is as simple as scrape, load, and you’re done—no pre-rinsing or rewashing required. The brand is so confident in the new formula that it’s offering a money back guarantee so consumers can try the product risk-free.

New & Improved Cascade Platinum Plus is available for purchase at grocery and mass retailers nationwide, in a variety of sizes starting at $4.94 MSRP (pricing at the sole discretion of the retailer).
