Our product brands

Our Group has a strong portfolio of product brands. Both our Divisions are increasingly seeking to enhance their customer offering through accelerating the development of differentiated products.

Boots own brand

The Boots own brand range of products offers our customers authenticity, credibility and value for money. It includes skincare, medicines, healthcare products and many more.

No7

No7 was launched in 1935 and is now the UK's leading cosmetics and skincare brand. We continue to successfully launch exciting products, including most recently No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum, the clinically proven skincare product which provides genuine long term anti-ageing benefits. This product has generated considerable media coverage and strong consumer demand. In addition, we continue to manufacture a significant proportion of the own brand products that we sell, including the No7 Protect & Perfect range.

Soltan

Soltan is one of the UK's biggest selling suncare ranges. Since it was launched nearly
70 years ago, the range has been consistently updated as suncare technology has advanced. In 1998, all Soltan products specified a Sun Protection Factor and in 2004 Soltan was relaunched as a range of 5-Star UVA protection suncream.

With built-in advanced triple protection and an array of application methods, including lotions, sprays and mists, Soltan offers a wide range of suncare products, from sun protection factor SPF8 to 50+.

Botanics

Botanics was first launched in the UK in 1995. It is a holistic range of skin, hair, bath and body products that brings together plant extracts with scientifically proven formulations. Botanics offers a combination of high performance products that brings together the pure power of plants and modern science and technology.

Almus

Almus is our award-winning brand of generic medicines. First launched in the UK in 2003, it is now available in five countries. The range is a leader in its field with innovative, user-focused design and patient-friendly packaging, which includes full-colour illustrations of the medication on the packs to aid dispensing and self-medication in the home.

The continued growth of Almus provides marketing and sourcing benefits aimed at offsetting the impact of patent expiries.

Boots Laboratories

Boots Laboratories Serum7 anti-ageing skincare range for independent pharmacy customers was successfully launched in France and Portugal in 2008/09. The Boots Laboratories skincare range will be launched in Spain and Italy in summer 2010, the latter in partnership with Procter & Gamble.
