10 Notable Products
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
I attended three trade shows in March—The NEBRA Show (northeastbtyrepassoc@verizon.net) in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California, and the Mom2B Trade Show in Los Angeles—and saw a lot of products that are great for beauty stores. Here are 10 that caught my eye.
From The NEBRA Show, which will be held on March 13-14 next year:
The new Stars & Stripes Collection of nail polish from Orly International (800.275.1111) for this summer is a sure winner. It includes Star Spangled, a sparkling red glitter; White Out, an opaque white crème; and Star of Bombay, a crème navy blue. The collection will be available in May. Three of each shade are featured in a compact, 12-piece display.
Marché By Spornette is a new line of professionally designed cosmetic brushes from Spornette International (800.323.6449). There are 12 different tools marketed in a beautiful display that can be placed on a counter or hung on a wall.
Why give business away to mass merchants? That’s the thinking behind the Salon Drain Opener Hair Clog Eliminator from King Research (800.222.8160). This may not be sexiest professional product ever, but it’s an excellent item for your stylist and barber customers. And what consumer wouldn’t use it either? The product cuts through standing water and is safe for use in all pipes and septic systems.
From Natural Products Expo West, which will be held on March 11-14 next year:
New from derma e Natural Bodycare (800.521.3342) is the Skinbiotics line, which helps fight bacterial infections, combat fungal infections, relieve insect bites, rashes and abrasions, and soothe skin to stimulate the healing process. Skinbiotics Treatment Crème and Skinbiotics Treatment Oil blend eco-friendly tea tree oil with organic oregano oil to provide powerful, natural antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties that have been proven effective for helping combat a range of organisms.
Advanced Cosmetic Technologies (732.266.2200) offers a new permanent haircolor system that’s 100% plant-based. It features ACT’s RBE-Colors and patent-pending technology that blends super-pure botanical extracts with dietary supplements for rich, beautiful color that bonds gently and naturally to hair. The hair colorant contains no paraphenylene diamine, no phenylene diamines, no ammonia, no aminophenol and no resorcinol. The two-part liquid system is easy to use. Currently, the company currently offers these shades: Natural Light Golden Blonde 9GD; Medium Natural Blonde 8N; Light Golden Copper Blonde 8CG; Intense Light Copper Blonde 8BC; Dark Natural Blonde 7N; Dark Golden Blonde 7GD; Intense Medium Copper Blonde 7BC; Medium Ash Blonde 7AH; Light Natural Brown 6N; Medium Natural Brown 5N; Medium Golden Brown 5GD; Dark Natural Brown 4N; and Chocolate Mahogany 4MO.
The vegan, cruelty-free and toxin-free Natural Stretch Oil from Earth Mama Angel Baby (503.607.0607) will help deter stretch marks during pregnancy. It’s light, readily absorbed and uses plant-based oils (no nut oils) that are infused with organic calendula and organic chamomile. Organic borage oil and neroli pure essential oil help nourish and encourage the skin’s natural elasticity.
Good For You Girls (860.489.9912) is a new line of 100% natural skin care for girls from ages 9 to 15. It contains no parabens, no sulfates, no synthetics, no petrochemicals, no dyes and no irritants. Healing extracts and organic essential oils pamper and protect skin. A complete kit includes a cleanser, a toner and a moisturizer. For salon stores, there’s a spa party program.
G2 Instant Firming Serum from MyChelle Dermaceuticals (800.447.2076) is an instant lifting treatment with Argireline peptide and goji berry for ultimate firming. Argireline is a neuropeptide that’s proven to reduce up to 30% the depth of the wrinkles in the face–especially around the eyes, forehead and mouth.
From the Mom2B Trade Show, which hasn’t announced plans yet for its next show:
Baby Bump (800.280.1731) is a new line of pre- and post-natal skincare products. Opening SKUs are Stretch Mark & Massage Oil, Stretch Mark Minimizing Cream, 2 in 1 Face Mask & Scrub and Body Polish. Three line expansions are planned for later this spring, with three more items for this summer, as well as a Baby Bump Baby! line later this year.
Go Belly Go (503.803.4623) is a new line of custom necklaces for expectant mothers featuring pendants that display what month the baby is due. It’s a great maternity gift item that’s smartly packaged.
See you next Wednesday,
Marc
