Acting as a label on the bottle is a shrink sleeve with a slightly metallic tint, part of which is left unprinted so that the product is visible. The spray is dispensed via a yellow-tinted, manually operated pump dispenser with a protective cap. www.nivea.de Lenses cleaner The American company Alcon Laboratories is marketing a multi- function disinfecting agent for the daily cleaning and care of contact lenses in a PET bottle under the name of “opti- free puremoist“. The bottle containing 90ml is tinted white and fitted with two embossed brand logos in the neck area. The screw-on top is secured against tampering by means of a shrunk-on safety label with a tear strip which also indicates that the seal is intact. A dispensing aid is also incorpo- rated in the closure. www.alcon-pharma.de Orange-scented shower gel The Balea products in the Street Art Range are geared to the younger genera- tion. The latest example is an orange- scented shower gel. The viscous, strongly fragranced and tinted gel is packed in a handy transparent PET bottle with a content of 250ml. A screw-on cap with a hinged lid and dispensing aid plus an all-round, shiny label round off its trendy appearance at the PoS. www.dm.de/balea Protective hair oil L’Oreal is marketing a protective hair spray in its Elvital range. The hair oil product named ‘Sun Defense’ is only available in the summer months and is intended not only to protect the hair from sun damage, chlorine and salt but also to nourish it. 150ml of the liquid is packed in a transparent bottle made from PET. A colour-matched pump dispenser with a protective cap aids application to dry or moist hair. www.lorealparis.com Protective sun spray from Lavera The German manufacturer of natural cosmetics, Laverana GmbH, is marketing, under the brand name Lavera, a protective sun spray with LSF 20 based on mineral sun pro- tection and using bio sunflower oil and bio calendula extract, in a white bottle made from PET with a content of 125ml. The bottle is easy to grasp thanks to two recesses at the side and the product is simple to dispense via the screw-on pump dispenser complete with safety cap. The prod- uct needs to be shaken well before use. www.lavera.de ‘Shake-and-Soak’ foam bath The German drugstore discounter dm has recently launched a shake-and soak foam bath on the market under its own-brand label SauBär. The product, which is scented with blackcurrants and orange, is a 2-stage product that needs to be shaken before use. If the product is left standing for any length of time, the product ingredients will disperse to form a milky white sec- tion and a purple section. The ingredi- ents ensure optimum foam formation in the tub and in so doing take care of delicate children’s skin. The whole product is packaged in a transparent PET bottle with a content of 300ml. A screw-on hinged lid closure with an opening for dispensing product and two self-adhesive labels round off the presentation. www.dm.de/saubaer
