Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter wows buyers at ECRM Sun Care program

Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter won the Drug Store News/ECRM Buyers’ Choice Award for its Fresh Start Tan Eraser during ECRM’s Sun Care program held in July.

The product was selected from dozens of entries submitted by participating suppliers. Buyers were able to evaluate each entry and cast their votes based on product packaging and innovation via the Drug Store News-branded Buyers Choice Awards section of the ECRM Connect platform.

“Self-tanning products have been very popular over the past several years as many consumers want to look tan but avoid too much sun exposure,” said Craig Chmielowicz, senior vice president of health and beauty Care for ECRM. “Our Buyers Choice Award-winning product helps users of these products remove the self-tanners quickly and easily. Congratulations to Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter.”
