In Asia/Pacific, we launched Alka-Seltzer™ in India in an all-new formulation combining fast-acting antacid ingredients with probiotics. The formulation, the country’s first probiotic antacid, addresses growing consumer demand for products that provide both immediate digestive relief and longer-term gut health support. In Australia, we launched Berocca™ Immune Ginger and Lemongrass. In June, we opened the China Center of Innovation and Partnership in Shandong, China. It is the second such hub in the country and will focus on co-developing science-led self-care solutions in skin health and digestive health. We also added to the Chinese KangWang™ portfolio with Elsa™ Pro, an anti-dandruff shampoo aimed at the specific needs of teenagers. In addition, we extended the Bepanthen™ portfolio in China with the launch of Bepanthen™ B5 Hydra Face Cream and Bepanthen™ B5 Essence Face Body Micro Serum.
In Europe/Middle East/Africa, we expanded our Bepanthen™ skin care portfolio in Morocco with three new line additions: Bepanthen™ Crème Cica, Bepanthen™ Crème Hydratante Visage and Bepanthen™ Lotion Corps. Consumers in the United Kingdom saw the launch of Rennie™ Chewing Gum, a new format for heartburn and indigestion. We also extended the Berocca™ Hydrate product line to the United Kingdom and France in response to the demand for solutions that support hydration and electrolyte balance.
