The awards, voted for by pharmacy professionals, recognise products that deliver practical value in everyday pharmacy settings. This dual recognition highlights solutions that support self care, meaningful pharmacy conversations, and convenient lifestyle use for patients.
Wendy Thompson, Head of Marketing at BHR Biosynex, said: “We are incredibly proud to see both products recognised by the people who use and recommend them every day in community pharmacy. The Biosynex Vaginal Infection Self-Test supports women to take early, informed action about intimate health concerns and encourages appropriate conversations in pharmacy. The Parakito wristband offers a simple, wearable way to enjoy essential oil fragrance during time spent outdoors, with a reusable design that fits easily into everyday routines and travel. The wristband can be stocked alongside the Parakito Tropical and Family mosquito repellent sprays as part of a broader Parakito outdoor range, offering customers a choice of formats depending on their preferences. These awards reinforce our focus on bringing pharmacy teams practical products that meet real consumer needs while supporting confident self care.”
The Biosynex Vaginal Infection Self-Test provides a fast, discreet pH screening option for women experiencing symptoms such as itching, discomfort or unusual discharge, supporting informed next steps and pharmacist consultation. The Parakito Essential Oil Diffusion Wristband is a reusable, adjustable wristband designed to hold a refillable pellet infused with a blend of essential oils, allowing fragrance to be gradually released into the surrounding air during outdoor activities.
