# Drama-Series-Inspired SPF Campaigns Vaseline x The White Lotus Spotlight the 'Gluta-HYA SPFF 50' By Debra John | Published 2025-03-12 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaseline-x-the-white-lotus References: [marketing-interactive](https://www.marketing-interactive.com/vaseline-merges-sun-soaked-drama-with-skincare-in-the-white-lotus-campaign) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DHBIGx5JiyH/)  [Vaseline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaseline-world) x [The White Lotus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-white-lotus-x-coffee-mate) have teamed up for a new campaign that integrates key elements from [HBO’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-white-lotus-x-supergoop) popular series. The campaign video begins by "showcasing dramatic moments from the show’s season three trailer, such as the characters’ arrival at a resort in Koh Samui, Thailand, followed by an energetic party scene." Additionally, a large ship is seen disappearing into a bright light, setting a mysterious and captivating tone. From this striking visual, the video smoothly transitions to two women on a yacht, enjoying the sun in a more serene setting. As they bask in the sunlight, a voiceover advises, “Keep the drama on screen, not on your skin.” This leads to the introduction of Vaseline’s new 'Gluta-HYA SPF 50 Serum Burst Lotion,' highlighting its sun protection and hydrating qualities. In doing so, the campaign effectively blends the intrigue of The White Lotus with Vaseline’s skincare message, positioning the product as an essential part of sun care.
