'''Lano''' is a leading [[brand]] of [[soap]] in [[Norway]]. It comes in varieties of [[shower gel]]s and liquid hand wash as well as the original soap bar. Lano is produced by [[Lilleborg|Lilleborg Commodities]], a hygiene product manufacturer owned in turn by the [[Orkla Group]].
==History==
The Lano soap bar was introduced in [[1934]], and is today dominant soap bar in the Norwegian market. In [[1959]], Lano introduced ''Lano-ungen'', or "the Lano-kid", a competition where one entered a picture of a child which could then be picked out to represent the soap for the whole coming year, as well as receive various prizes. Lano liquid hand soap was launched in [[1989]], with a compact [[soap dispenser]] being introduced in [[1993]]. Around the turn of the millennium, Lano introduced a liquid shower gel, packed in a special container with a plastic hook for easy hanging inside a shower enclosure.
==Characteristics==
Lano is a mild, low-perfume soap, which has led to it being very popular as an all-round family cleaning product. This is reflected in its motto, "Lano for liten og Lano for stor", which translates very roughly into "Lano for the small and for the grown-ups".
==Environment==
The liquid varieties of the soap is available in refill bags, and all wrappings supposedly contains as high a percentage of recycled materials as possible. According to Lilleborg, no materials harmful that are harmful to the environment upon burning or disposal are used in the product wrappings, and [[polyvinyl chloride|PVC]] is not used.
