Chain Drugstore Daily 1 9 Monday, April 29, 2019 Clinically-Tested Skincare from Remedy Dermatology Series New Remedy Dermatology Series Moisturizing Lotion was formulated by leading skincare specialists to provide a higher level of care not often avail- able in the retail market. It was devel- oped as a non-prescription solution for dermatologists to recommend to those seeking help for rough, dry, irritated skin due to factors such as age, weath- er, physical damage or some health conditions. From the beginning, the product was specifically formulated for derma- tologists, and dermatologist tested. It uses a rich, gentle botanical formula that provides a number of important benefits to skin: hydration, moisturiza- tion, nutrition and antioxidants to soothe irritation. Among the botanical ingredients are safflower oleosomes, naturally encapsulated oils which burst open for lasting moisturization. Green tea and blue-green algae provide skin nutrition and soothing antioxidant properties. Soy protein, yeast extract and vitamin D help attract and retain moisture into the skin, as well as provide vital nutrients. Pure dimethicone is added to provide a soft, smooth texture and to help maintain moisture balance. Of nearly equal importance is what is not in Remedy Dermatology Series Lotion. Formulated for extreme gentle- ness, it contains none of the ingredients listed on the North American 80 Comprehensive Series List (NAC 80) of possible aller- gens. That means it has no aloe, parabens, phthalates or non-natural fragrances that are commonly found in other skincare products and cos- metics. For the consumer, skincare can be a highly subjective matter. However, one evalu- ation skin specialists use to test mois- turization measures the amount of water skin loses over time. In terms of product performance, it reveals how well the product helps skin retain the moisture balance it needs. In a head-to- head comparison with a leading com- petitive moisturizing lotion, Remedy lotion significantly outper- formed the competition 24 hours after application (complete study details available on request from Medline Remedy ® ). Medline Remedy is the leading provider of skin care products to hospitals and long-term care facilities. Now, Remedy Dermatology Series Moisturizing Lotion is its first product made specifi- cally for the retail market. Packaging is designed to stand out from other thera- peutic lotions on shelf, highlighting the effectiveness and gentle, botanical for- mula. It is available in 3-ounce, 8-ounce and 12-ounce bottles.

Prasco Continues a Tradition of Outreach at NACDS Events Prasco Laboratories is a privately held healthcare company founded in 2002 and located in Mason, Ohio. The company's core business model focuses on market- ing and distributing authorized generic prescription drugs. From the beginning, Prasco has had a strong culture of service – to God, fam- ily, customers, partners, fellow employ- ees and the global community. The com- pany's outreach programs are essential to Prasco's identity and activities. Employees give time, talents and resources to make an impact in local, regional and international communities. Beyond numerous outreach activities in the Cincinnati area, Prasco employees have traveled on mission trips around the United States, Mexico, Belize and other parts of the world. At the 2010 NACDS Total Store Expo in San Diego, Prasco saw an oppor- tunity to serve the community around the host city. Employees created an event to raise funds for local pediatric cancer patients and the Friends of Scott Foundation. The event took place at the Padres stadium, Petco Park, and was a great success. This began an annual tradi- tion of Prasco serving the host communi- ty by raising funds for local charities. In 2015, the Prasco team expanded the event to include a serv- ice project. Prasco employ- ees and a small group of business partners spent a day volunteering at a ware- house that supports Denver children. Since then, Prasco events hosted at the NACDS TSE have grown into fully coordinated volunteer efforts, involving more and more industry partic- ipants each year. These events have included service projects such as: plant- ing trees at inner city schools, construct- ing toddler beds for families transitioning from homeless shelters, and packing backpack kits for children in need. Last year's event was the biggest ever, includ- ing over 80 NACDS participants from dozens of companies assembling bikes for children living in lower income neighborhoods. In total, Prasco's outreach events have provided more than $150,000 in support to charitable organ- izations in the NACDS TSE host cities of Boston, San Diego and Denver. For 2019, Prasco is excit- ed to announce it has "Teamed Up to Clean Up" the Patrick J. Kennedy Elementary School playground and indoor facility. This effort to restore and revive the school will be conducted in partnership with Boston Cares on Friday, August 23, 2019. Prasco welcomes NACDS attendees to join the fun.

Nantucket Spider: Natural Insect Repellents By Nancy Jack, Chief Executive Officer, Nantucket Spider, LLC Many years ago, my business partner, Jeffrey Busch, and I had each reached the conclusion that we would never use DEET or other chemical repellents on ourselves or our families. The problem was, the natural repellents on the market didn't work very well for us. The prod- ucts were strong smelling, greasy and the spray would dribble down the side of the bottles and be difficult to apply. The effect was that they just didn't keep the bugs away very well. Nantucket Spider was born as a solu- tion to these problems. Nantucket Spider repellents are light and fresh smelling and non-greasy. Our patented method of using a fine mist trigger spray top and a water-based formula means that our repellents can be applied where you most need them: on hair, clothing, gear and skin without damage or staining. We use beautiful blends of natural essential oils – all of our sprays are now made with organic essential oils and our products are non-GMO. We are the only natural repellent company that protects our repellents with liquid nitrogen during bottling so that our essential oils don't oxidize and deteriorate before they are opened – our customers can trust that our repellents will not be stale before they get to use them. Most importantly, our repellents really work. Independent lab tests have shown that our original and camp sprays repel 98- 100 per- cent of mosquitos (indistin- guishable from 20 percent DEET). Our tick repellent was found to repel 92 percent of deer ticks. Our products also work extremely well on biting flies, including blackflies, horseflies, greenheads and deerflies. In addition to our wonderful repel- lents, Nantucket Spider has created beau- tiful and effective bracelets, pins, oil blends and outdoor garden sticks: fair trade, essential oil, extra-large incense sticks that have become a popular choice for keeping the bugs away at outdoor events.
