CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Nature’s Gate, a maker of natural skin care products, has developed the new Nature’s Gate Baby Soothing Shampoo & Wash.

Nature’s Gate Baby Soothing Shampoo & Wash cleanses fine hair and soothes delicate skin with mild herbs and an exclusive blend of seven gentle baby botanicals. The ingredients include:


• Chamomile and orange flower blend together to ease and calm infant skin;

• Calendula, nature’s emollient, to deliver cleansing benefits;

The hair care segment has lost some of its luster. However, manufacturers of ethnic hair care products have been working feverishly to bring greater innovation to 
the market. 


According to SymphonyIRI Group, sales of hair styling gel/mousse slipped about 1.5% during the 12 weeks ended July 8 at food, drug and mass (excluding Walmart). During the same period, sales of women’s hair coloring dropped 4.6%, and hair relaxer kits were 
down 12.5%. The double-digit drop in hair relaxer kits comes as little surprise as many ethnic beauty shoppers are choosing to 
go natural.


WATSONVILLE, Calif. — Nordic Naturals has introduced a new kid-friendly line of supplements.

Nordic Omega-3 Jellies are fish-shaped jellies made from purified fish oil, sustainably sourced from anchovies and sardines, and then specially formulated for children ages 2 years and older. Each chewable touts 250 mg of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. Each box contains 36 individual packs.

Parents obviously want the best of the best for their little bundles of joy, and skin care products are no exception. That means often opting for those items that are free of such ingredients as artificial colors and parabens.


According to SymphonyIRI Group, sales of baby lotions totaled nearly $54 million, down 0.35%, for the 52 weeks ended June 10 at food, drug and mass (excluding Walmart), as sales of baby soaps rose 3.42% to $111 million during that same period.


Sales of vitamins, totaling almost $3.6 billion, were up 2.7% for the 52 weeks ended May 13, according to SymphonyIRI Group data across food drug and mass (excluding Walmart).


And according to a recent TABS Group analysis, that growth came despite the percentage of U.S. vitamin users in 2012 decreasing from 71% to 66% — trade-ups, price inflation and the increased use emanating from current buyers purchasing more vitamins were the drivers behind today’s growth, said Kurt Jetta, TABS Group CEO.
