Bono Buddy Goes Nude for the Masses

By David | May. 29, 2007 | 4 Comments|post a comment

Bryan Meehan, the 39-year-old Irish eco-entrepreneur and Bono Buddy who started the organic food stores Fresh & Wild, is launching  Nude, an "organic, ethical" range of cosmetics.  He called it Nude, after a suggestion from Ali Hewson - Bono's wife, and Meehan's "muse" on the project.

 Of course, natural skincare is hardly new.  Meehan claims Nude that Nude will be able to package "natural" for masses of women seeking youth. Nude has all the right eco-features: It's packaging is spare -- all comprised from polypropylene, a 60 percent post-industrial recycled material. The sleeve is from from non-GM biodegradable cornstarch, which can be composted. Nude sales assistants' are well not nude but their uniforms are made from organic cotton.

Is Meehan's marketing savvy enough to catapult natual skin care into the mainstream? Is this good for the natural products industry and the earth? Let me know what you think?

Good to Hear

Nice to hear that they're using compostable plastic on at least some of their packaging, though even recycled plastic requires the addition of new plastic to make. It's a great step in the right direction -- and the right people to influence others. Thanks for this info!

Sounds like a winner

There seems to be a serious market for these products and Nude + Bono affiliation = press coverage. Should at least make a splash in the news. Marketing is everything!

This guy has two things in

This guy has two things in his favor: Bono and the name Nude. Both powerful statements that I think will be a sure success.
