CVS is giving its healthcare products a glow-up to lure you away from brand names
The look of the health and wellness products at CVS is about to get a little less prescriptive. The pharmacy chain, which reported $94.59 billion in revenue in the first quarter of 2025, landing ahead of expectations, announced it is overhauling its packaging for 68 pain reliever products this month, with updated packaging to come for nearly 3,000 other health and wellness items by the end of 2026. The outgoing packaging for the pharmacy's private-label health and wellness products looks overtly clinical, in some cases packing product information into small areas with tiny text. Consumers are already overwhelmed with so many options in the health and wellness category, according to Musab Balbale, CVS Health's chief merchandising officer. 'While we continuously strive to innovate our brands, we had not conducted a complete update of the CVS Health brand identity in almost 10 years,' Balbale tells Fast Company. 'Now, we are putting our CVS brand front and center to truly stand out on the shelf.' The new look is streamlined, with a simpler 'CVS' logo instead of 'CVS Health,' flat colors instead of gradients, and bigger product labels. The packages are easier to read, and a simplified visual hierarchy emphasizes product benefits and features. It's made for store shelves and for easy comprehension at a glance. Products for kids and babies will be labeled with a ladybug. The redesign was done over the course of a year by teams from across CVS Health working with outside partners including the brand design agency Pearlfisher. Why CVS is rebranding The new packaging is the latest example of a private-label rebrand as CVS and other retailers have invested more in their own product lines. As consumers traded down from national brands to store brands due to inflation since the pandemic, stores like Target and Walmart redesigned their house brands to grow their owned shelf space and revenue. With friendly, brightly colored packaging that's more design-forward and high-end than many of the generic brands of years past, this new generation of private-label products is meant to reach high-income shoppers with big-box-store prices. For CVS, the new packaging was made with three goals in mind: modernizing the brand, bringing the brand front and center, and emphasizing product form and benefits to make the shopping experience easier. The larger goal is associating CVS with health and wellness at large. 'With this evolution of the CVS brand, we're not only simplifying shopping for customers, but we're also aiming to become the health and wellness brand they think of first when seeking trusted solutions that deliver value and convenience,' Mike Wier, VP of store brands at CVS Health, said in a statement.

Danger May Lurk in a Popular Drug for a Common Condition
Hi, it's Anna in Virginia. Bloomberg just published an investigation I did on a drug you can easily buy in most stores like Walmart and Target that isn't FDA approved. But before I tell you more ... When you walk into a pharmacy or retailer with a health and wellness aisle, it would make sense that you'd assume any drug you pick up would have been thoroughly vetted by the Food and Drug Administration.

The Best Infrared Sauna Blankets for Improved Recovery—And Full-Body Detox
Infrared sauna blankets offer a type of heat therapy, which is generally thought to offer a number of benefits. 'In addition to warming the body/increasing core temperature, infrared sauna blankets can also help to stimulate tissue, contributing to improved blood and oxygen flow and increased muscle relaxation. Infrared sauna blankets may also activate cellular processes and activity, such as protein synthesis, detoxification, and/or immune responses from white blood cells,' says Dr. Connor. That said, there is still very limited research about these blankets and their efficacy. In theory, the benefits should be similar to other forms of heat therapy, however, there isn't currently enough evidence to know for sure. 'It's very subjective, and everyone who does this has to try the blanket and see if it's working for them,' says Darshan Shah, MD, a health and wellness specialist and board-certified surgeon. 'Some people can have no benefit, and some people can can see benefits, and it just depends how each individual reacts to it, because we don't have large scale studies for red blankets, there's no way to know for sure how many people it's helping as far as longevity.' Still, if you are using the sauna blanket safely (considering time, temperature, proper hydration, consulting with your doctor before, listening to your body) and you feel good after using it, then it can be a great addition to any wellness routine. Just know that researchers are still determining their true health potential.
