HRG’s five notable products from July 2024
Product introductions dipped again in July, reverting to an old see-saw pattern that has been happening for at least a year.
In July, suppliers introduced 163 products, a number that is 80 fewer items than the 243 new items they introduced in June. Waukesha, Wis.-based HRG reviewed 46 products in the health category, 49 items in the wellness sector and 68 in the beauty aisle to see which ones stood out as Products to Watch.
Here are the top five:
1. Blink NutriTears Dry Eyes Supplement Soft Gels
Bausch + Lomb said Blink NutriTears Dry Eyes Supplement promotes healthy tear production, targets the key root causes of dry eyes and hydrates from within for long-lasting relief. The manufacturer also said that adding the soft gels to a dry eye regimen will provide a noticeable difference in just four weeks. A pack contains 50 gel tablets.
2. Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanser
The Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanser formula from Molnycke has been updated to a foam delivered in a pump. Molnycke said foam is the preferred consumer form, providing peace of mind as it is easier to see on the skin. The higher viscosity is designed to allow the cleanser to stay in place and increase ease of use. It comes in an 8-oz. bottle.
3. Mucinex Children’s Mighty Chews
Reckitt said Mucinex Children’s Mighty Chews tablets are formulated to provide cough relief for up to four hours with less fuss than a liquid for children ages 6+. The company claimed that it is the first-ever OTC children’s cough medicine available in a chewable tablet form. A pack contains 16 chewable tablets.
4. Tylenol Extra Strength Easy to Swallow Caplet
Tylenol Extra Strength Easy to Swallow Caplet from Kenvue is designed to allow consumers with gastrointestinal conditions to find pain relief more easily with Gentleglide coating technology and a rounded pill shape to enhance swallowability. Kenvue said the hydrophilic coating is water-activated and the sucralose coating activates with saliva to ease swallowing for a more pleasant experience. A pack contains 24 caplets.
5. Batiste Sweat Activated Dry Shampoo
Church & Dwight’s Batiste Sweat Activated Dry Shampoo is designed to prevent odor and sweat buildup to keep hair looking and smelling fresh for up to 24 hours, the company said. Formulated to be highly absorbent, the product continues to reactivate when sweating occurs. The shampoo comes in a 3.81-oz. bottle.
