Skinvisible Announces Major Pharmacy to Market Safe4Hours® with Invisicare®
Second Canadian retailer puts product on shelves
LAS VEGAS, May 2, 2007 - Skinvisible, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVI / Website: www.skinvisible.com) along with its licensee JD Nelson & Associates, are pleased to announce that they have a second major retailer selling Safe4Hours® in the Canadian market place. Safe4Hours, an antimicrobial sanitizing lotion / skin protectant made with Invisicare®, is now also available in London Drugs across Western Canada. This follows an April 19th, 2007 announcement that the 1,000+ Home Hardware stores in Canada will be carrying the product.
The hand sanitizing market is fast becoming a $100 million market in North America and most of the products in this market are alcohol based. While providing an instant kill on most germs alcohol sanitizers offer no long-term solution and if used often can be very drying to the skin. The advantage of Safe4Hours is two-fold; it lasts for up to four hours even through repeated hand washings and as it contains no alcohol, it doesn't have a drying effect on the hands.
"We are very pleased with the quick progress JD Nelson & Associates have made with getting this product into the Canadian marketplace and in the hands of consumers." said Mr. Terry Howlett, President and CEO of Skinvisible. "This is an important market for us and we expect that the Canadian consumer will immediately see the benefit of purchasing any product that has Invisicare as its delivery system."
"Having London Drugs put Safe4Hours on the shelves is great news. Now when you go into your local pharmacy looking for something to protect you and your family from germs, you can select Safe4Hours," said Mr. Doug Nelson, President and CEO of JD Nelson & Associates. "It's the Invisicare advantage that makes this product unique. This antimicrobial sanitizing lotion / skin protectant stays on your hands for up to 4 hours. Now, that's keeping your family safe!"
