  • Vicks® Launches New Nature Fusion™ Line
    VICKS® LAUNCHES NEW NATURE FUSION™ LINE Nature Fusion cough, cold and flu products offer the powerful symptom relief, plus real honey for taste Cincinnati, OH, August 11, 2011 – Procter & Gamble’s (NYSE: PG) Vicks brand announced today that it is launching Nature Fusion, a new line of over-the-counter cold, cough and flu relief products that combine powerful symptom relief with real honey for flavor. What inspired Vicks Nature Fusion? Research shows that consumers increasingly desire more natural and less artificial ingredients in their over-the- counter medications, so Vicks is answering the call with Nature Fusion, which joins the powerful science of symptom relief with the best of nature. Beginning with the original Vicks products launched in 1894 which contained Eucalyptus oils from Australia and menthol from Japan, Vicks has a long history of using ingredients inspired by nature. Now, Vicks is continuing this tradition by blending real honey for flavor in new Vicks Nature Fusion. “For more than 120 years, Vicks has helped people feel better by providing proven treatments to deliver effective relief from cold, cough and flu symptoms,” says Andy Cipra, Vicks Brand Manager. “Today, with the launch of Nature Fusion, Vicks is proud to offer the same powerful medicine now flavored with real honey.” Honey has often been favored as a flavor, but lately it has been getting even more buzz as consumers increasingly seek natural ingredients in the products they use. The addition of honey provides aesthetic properties such as flavor, sweetness and thickness. Nature Fusion is also free from alcohol and gluten.

    Domino partners with Procter and Gamble on Tactile-Coded Bottle Design for Visually Impaired Consumers Submitted by: Domino Printing Sciences Tuesday, 20 July 2021 Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) (https://www.domino-printing.com/en/news-and-events/news.aspx?utm_medium=non-paid&utm_source=onlinepublication&utm_content=p&gpr&utm_campaign=2021-int-en-prospects-a-a-a-a-) has teamed up with Procter and Gamble (P&G) – one of the world’s largest and most trusted suppliers of consumer and personal care products – to develop an inclusive, tactile solution for product labelling, to help visually impaired consumers distinguish between bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Kevin Higgins, Engineer at P&G, says: “We were invited to visit Domino’s specialist laser testing labs in Hamburg, initially to discuss the requirements for the project, and then again for a two-day working session to identify the best possible solution. Together, we chose the Herbal Essences bio:renew range of shampoo and conditioners as a trial product, which could be easily marked by Domino’s D-Series CO2 laser coders to create a differentiating tactile marker.” The chosen design features a row of raised lines on the bottom of the back of the shampoo bottles – “S” for shampoo, “S” for stripes – with two rows of raised dots in the same place on conditioner bottles – “C” for conditioner, “C” for circles. To ensure the new stripes and circles approach would work for consumers, P&G presented the newly-coded Herbal Essences bio:renew bottles to the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) in the UK for consumer testing.
