Snippets: New Noah… Option Out… Garnier Explosion

NEW NOAH: Noah's Naturals, which launched in the mass market last year in Wal-Mart stores, is changing its approach. The company is taking its three subbrands (It's All Good, Heal Thyself and Honest to Goodness) and putting them under the brand Noah's Natural's. About 26 products make up the new line, 10 of which contain between 70 and 95 percent organic ingredients. The company's items will continue to be sold in Wal-Mart, along with a host of other natural brands, including Alba, Avalon and Burt's Bees, which is entering Wal-Mart for the first time next year. Wal-Mart's new natural set is said to be about 8 feet.

OPTION OUT: Skin care brand Olay is aiming to take the confusion out of the plethora of options in the skin care aisle with the launch of OlayForYou.com. The site uses "virtual conversation" technology, according to the company, where women can enter in their skin care concerns, receive recommendations on related products, learn how to use each product and print a list to take to the store or be directed to a list of Web sites where the products can be purchased. The site goes live in January.
