NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Unveils Refreshed Consumer Branding for Online Sales of Avenova® Antimicrobial Lid & Lash Solution

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NovaBay^® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY) today unveils a rebrand for non-prescription Avenova, its antimicrobial lid and lash solution. The comprehensive refresh reinforces the Company’s strategy of reaching a broader audience through Avenova.com and Amazon.com.

Avenova is the only patented, FDA-cleared formula that uses pure hypochlorous acid to treat issues like bacterial dry eye, blepharitis and contact lens intolerance.

“The goal of the rebrand is to make the sophisticated science behind our product accessible and appealing to the end consumer. It also reflects influence from the beauty industry as Avenova is not only about taking care of how you see but also how you're seen,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. “We firmly believe that Avenova is the safest and most effective product available for the topical treatment of bacterial infections that affect the majority of patients with chronic dry eye disease. To build on the momentum we have experienced with Avenova online sales, we are refreshing our consumer product messaging and packaging. Our reinvigorated branding is being combined with cost-efficient social media to entice new customers to try Avenova. Once people try our product, we are confident that many will become repeat customers.

“Now that prescription-strength Avenova is available directly to the end consumer without a prescription, we thought it was important to have the brand clearly convey our core values. A scientific approach to personal care is reflected in the "Purely you" and "Return to Life" themes represented in our new communications. We expect our refreshed branding to be more attractive to a broader base of consumers who shop online seeking a gentle yet powerful antimicrobial solution. Our plan is to have the new packaging available to consumers for online sales within the next few months, while prescription Avenova sold through pharmacies will continue to retain the current packaging.”
