Chennai, 30th June 2026: FMCG major, CavinKare’s iconic CHIK Shampoo today announced its continued focus on strengthening its leadership in the Indian haircare category by expanding its protein-powered haircare proposition. As protein-based haircare continues to gain relevance among consumers seeking targeted nourishment and improved hair quality, CHIK has launched a first-of-its-kind Egg Yellow Protein Shampoo, bringing the goodness of Egg Yellow Protein into everyday haircare.
With this launch, CHIK further strengthens its journey towards becoming a holistic protein haircare brand, offering innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of Indian consumers. Designed keeping Indian hair concerns in mind, CHIK Egg Yellow Protein Shampoo helps combat common challenges such as roughness, dullness and lack of manageability, delivering smoother, shinier and healthier-looking hair.
Staying true to its legacy of democratising haircare through innovation, CHIK Egg Yellow Protein Shampoo has been launched first in its iconic Re. 1 sachet format, a model that pioneered the sachet revolution in the FMCG industry and made quality haircare accessible to millions of consumers across India. The brand will subsequently introduce the innovation in bottle formats, strengthening its presence across consumer segments.
Powered by the goodness of Egg Yellow Protein, a nutrient-rich ingredient known for its protein properties, the new shampoo helps improve hair texture and enhances manageability. As hair is primarily made up of protein, protein nourishment plays an important role in maintaining healthy-looking hair. The formulation delivers 5X more conditioning for easier combing, while helping make hair 50% smoother and 100% shinier.
Bringing alive the power of this innovative ingredient, CHIK has rolled out an integrated marketing campaign led by a central television commercial across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and West Bengal. The campaign showcases everyday hair concerns such as roughness, dryness and lack of manageability, highlighting how the nourishing power of Egg Yellow Protein can transform hair into smoother, shinier and better-conditioned locks.

With CHIK Egg Yellow Protein Shampoo, we are strengthening our protein haircare portfolio and moving towards our vision of building a holistic protein haircare brand.
