HRG’s new product team is always busy, and March was no exception. CPG companies rolled out 267 products last month, including 53 OTC products, 154 wellness products and 60 beauty items.

The product is sold in 30-count packages.
2. Preparation H Soothing Relief Cooling Spray
GSK Consumer’s flagship hemorrhoid brand is adding a new way to help quickly soothe irritated and inflamed skin.
