The celebrity-backed body-care line signals the retailer’s Consumer First shift by prioritizing performance-driven formulas and wide retail distribution.

Overview

  • Bath & Body Works rolled out Fruit Fusion in stores and online across the U.S. and Canada on July 6, and said the line will appear on its Amazon storefront as a next distribution step.
  • Hilary Duff serves as a creative partner and campaign ambassador who helped shape the launch creative and is promoting the collection on her social channels.
  • The franchise debuts four fruit-forward scents — Watermelon Whirl, Tangerine Twirl, Berry Bliss and Banana Blend — across washes, lotions, mists, lip oil and pocket sprays with prices from $4.95 to $18.95.
