Scholl Fungal Nail TreatmentSales of Scholl Fungal Nail Treatment (SC10048989) have increased in recent weeks, partly due to the product sponsoring ITV2 Daytime!

With so much media focus, we thought that it would make a good subject for the latest edition of Consultancy Room.

So what is fungal nail? This common infection is an invasion of fungal species underneath the toe nail, affecting 9% of the UK’s population. The fungal infection can be passed on by direct contact and is usually carried through carpets, socks, shoes and hosiery.

What symptoms should you look out for?

  • Yellow or brownish discolouration of the nail
  • White ‘islands’ on the surface of the nail
  • The appearance of the nail is rougher, more brittle and with ridges

Why is Scholl Fungal Nail a suitable treatment? Scholl Fungal Nail treatment is suitable for treating mild fungal nail conditions. It helps to prevent spread of infection and recurrence, by killing 99.9% of all nail fungus.

How does it work? Scholl Fungal Nail Treatment is a course of treatment over a sustained period of 9-12 months. The initial treatment is to lightly file the infected nail surface, before applying the advanced fungal nail liquid. This action then needs to be repeated over a four week period to kill the fungus.

The second phase is about preventing the fungus from spreading and recurring. This is done by applying the advanced liquid to the infected nail once a week for a 9 month period or until the discolouration has grown out.

By the end of the treatment the infection should have cleared up and the level of discolouration of the nail dramatically reduced.

Medisana Contact-free Infared ThermometerIn the Murrays Consultancy Room this week we have the new Contact-free Infrared Thermometer by Medisana.

When this product landed on my desk I was intrigued to find out exactly how it worked, as I didn’t know that it was possible to take a temperature reading using infrared.

Plus if this was possible then I thought that it would be ideal for infants – who can be particularly awkward, especially when they are feeling under the weather!

When it comes to thermometers the two main qualities that we are all looking for is; ease of use and accuracy. The infrared element of this Medisana Thermometer means that it is extremely easy to use. Contact-free from approximately 5cm away, this is probably the most hygienic way of temperature reading. As it is also a contact-free method, it is ideal to use with infants and young children. No probe covers required, simply aim and click!

With regards to accuracy, Medisana claim that results between 36⁰C to 39⁰C are within (±) 0.2⁰C. Rapid display of results within one second and the acoustic and optical fever alarm provide additional security!

Another massive plus for the Medisana Contact-free Infrared Thermometer that make it ideal for use around the family home, is that it can also be used to monitor the ambient temperature of liquids and other surfaces’. This makes it ideal for baby feeding and bathing.

This innovative product conforms to all the essential requirements of MDD 93/42 and comes with a 3 year warranty.

“This thermometer is top of the range and is quite simply a fantastic product. Your Sales Representative will be demonstrating the new Contact-free Infrared Thermometer on their next visit; I would love to get your feedback.” Tom Eastwood, Safe & Sound Health Brand Manager

Summary: Rapid and precise contact-free temperature measurements with diagnosis. Every family household should have one (ideal for small children).

As thousands of pop fans packed out the ECHO Arena Liverpool for the star-studded Radio City Live show, the Urbanista ladies were backstage preening and pampering the stars before they took to the stage.

Some of the biggest names in UK music appeared at the sell-out show including; JLS, McFly, Stooshe and Little Mix, and not forgetting global superstar Flo Rida! The following day the Urbanista Team headed on over to the luxurious Malmaison Hotel located on the iconic Princes Dock, where they took part in a fun pop up Beauty Bar alongside He-Shi Tanning & Lipsy clothing.

Since we launched Baylis & Harding, there are two lines in particular that have produced a really positive and surprising result, namely the Great Hair Shampoo (BHGHMOSH) & Conditioner (BHGHMOCO).

GHMOSH Baylis & Harding Great Hair ShampooGHMOCO Baylis & Harding Great Hair Conditioner

The main factor driving these positive sales could be a magic ingredient called Morrocan Argan Oil. This year the world has gone crazy for Morrocan Argan Oil and you may well be familiar with the market leader Morrocan Oil (currently exclusive to salons).

For those of you that haven’t heard of Argan Oil or Moroccan Oil, this key ingredient has been used for centuries by local tribes in North Africa, but only recently has it come to the attention of cosmetic scientists.

Research has found that Argan Oil is packed with beautifying ingredients like vitamin E, Phenols, Carotenes and essential fatty acids; in fact it is over 70% Oleic and Linoleum Acids. These essential fatty acids are also known as the skin vitamin (Vitamin F). Just like other vitamins the body is unable to produce its own Vitamin F.

Argan Oil revives and strengthens the hair, making lack-lustre dull hair, shine! To summarise Argan Oil is a 100% natural skin food and regular use will keep hair in tip top condition.

Baylis & Harding’s Shampoo and Conditioner, is well presented, twice the fill (500ml) and over 66% cheaper than the market leader!

Innovators of healthcare, Safe & Sound are always looking to improve and develop their range, having recently reworked the Soft Neck Collar and Splinted Left/Right Hand Wrist Brace.

Safe & Sound Wrist Brace Left-HandSafe & Sound Wrist Brace Right-Hand

The good news is that for these three core products Safe & Sound have managed to redesign them in a way that they are now one-size-fits all, simpler for the consumer. This development is also ideal for the space-saving pharmacist, as it means that you now only have to have a single facing, allowing for two additional SKUs into store.

In addition to the product design, Safe & Sound have also reworked the packaging, moving away from the traditional poly bag with header, to a gloss laminate box, supplied in clear acetate shelf-ready-trays.

Safe & Sound Wrist BraceSafe & Sound Soft Collar Brace

Now we wouldn’t blame you for thinking that all of these changes would come at a cost, however it has actually had an adverse effect on the retail, which has actually been reduced by a 1/3, from £8.99 / €11.98 to £5.99 / £7.98.

Day 57 of the Olympic Torch Relay saw thousands of people brave the rain in Southampton, as the Olympic flame sailed in from the Isle of Wight.

The torch began the day in Bournemouth then travelled east, passing through Christchurch, Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Lymington, before taking the short trip across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, where Olympian Dame Ellen MacArthur picked up the flame.

The torch arrived in Southampton around 17:40 and after whistle stop tour of the city, ended up at Mayflower Park, where the Olympic party was well underway.

The crowds at Mayflower Park had been treated to a star-studded line-up including Britains Got Talent dance duo Twist & Pulse and chart topper Wretch 32!
