Body Drench Products Grace Health, Beauty Magazines
 LOS
ANGELES—Body Drench, manufacturer of lotions, body scrubs, body washes, suncare
and tanning products, recently received kudos in Cosmopolitan, Marie
Claire and Shape, among other health and beauty periodicals.
“It’s exciting to see our newest Body Drench products getting recommendations
from these magazines,” says Quinn Redeker, national sales manager for Body Drench.
“We are hopeful that this exposure will increase brand recognition, ultimately
driving sales in the salons that carry the Body Drench line.”
In August, Body Drench’s Whipped Chocolate Self-Tanning Mousse was a top splurge
pick in Marie Claire’s “Splurge vs. Steal” section, and the magazine
also gave a nod to Sun Splashed Mango Daily Moisturizing Lotion in June.
The self-tanning mousse also was recommended by Cosmo in June. Style.com—the
online home of Vogue and W magazines—in May wrote “this mousse
will leave your skin with a cocoa tan that is just delicious.”
The mango-scented moisturizer also appeared in the May/June issue of Platinum,
as did the “fab find” Haze bronzing dust. In its May edition, Shape touted
Body Drench’s Sugar Cane Daily Moisturizing Lotion.
