DuPont Announces 2015 Packaging Innovation Award Winners

Wednesday, July 1st, 2015


Wilmington, Del. (PRWEB) May 15, 2015

The 2015 DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation will be remembered as the year of design as 77 percent of the winners are being honored for design excellence in enhancing the users’ experience. Canada-based IPL, Inc., earned the Diamond Award, the program’s highest honor, for SkinnyPack™ Technology. This mono-material package marries flexible and rigid packaging to create a thin, light, strong structure that uses less material, enables recycling and allows more message space.

“This year’s winners stand out as leaders in packaging innovation,” said William J. Harvey, president, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers. “They exemplify how collaboration, innovation and packaging excellence converge to generate game-changing solutions that positively impact our lives.”

The DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation is the industry’s longest-running, global, independently judged celebration of innovation and collaboration throughout the value chain. An independent panel of packaging experts evaluated nearly 140 entries from more than 25 countries and last night awarded one diamond winner, five gold winners and seven silver winners based on “excellence” in one, two or all three categories: technological advancement, responsible packaging and enhanced user experience.

“The winners demonstrated the power of integrating precision engineering, design and technology in a way that brings multi-sensorial yet functional packaging to delight consumers,” according to Yasmin Siddiqi, DuPont Packaging Awards program leader.

“The novelty this year lies in the fact that we saw packaging designs that added intuitive functionality in a way that was both simple and meaningful for the user,” said David Luttenberger, CPP, global packaging director, Mintel Group, Ltd., USA and lead judge. “There’s frequently a lot of technology behind seemingly simple designs, but when you can design packaging in a way that resolves an issue and is intuitive to use, that’s value.”

2015 Diamond Winner

● Salsa Container Blends Rigid and Flexible for a Myriad of Possibilities, IPL, Inc. – Canada; Ana’s Foods – USA

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement, Responsible Packaging, and Enhanced User Experience

IPL’s new hybrid container is allowing Ana’s Foods to be a standout on store shelves. Through collaboration with IPL, Ana’s Foods replaced its rigid salsa containers with the SkinnyPack™, a flexible-rigid container that combines the advantages of thin, flexible film (lightweight, flexible, and printable) and the advantages of a strong, rigid frame (sturdy, structural component).

The SkinnyPack™, developed by IPL, is an injection molded polypropylene container that is made by fusing a thin, flexible in-mold label (IML) film to a sturdy, rigid frame. This process ensures that a strong adhesion exists between the film and injected plastic, allowing the packages to remain sturdy and strong throughout production, filling, transport, distribution and consumer use.

The lighter-weight, thin-walled SkinnyPack™ uses 54.8 percent less plastic than the original salsa containers. The mono-material packaging structure allows the container to be 100 percent recyclable. Prior to use, the empty SkinnyPack™ is nestable to maximize warehouse space. After use, the SkinnyPack™ can be easily crushed to optimize space during the recycling process. On each salsa package, Ana’s Foods communicates their commitment to sustainability with their consumers: “Tub made with less plastic for a greener world.”

The uniqueness of the SkinnyPack™ helps to differentiate itself on store shelves. The high-clarity film windows offer a look inside to give consumers confidence in the product prior to purchase. The in-mold labeling offers high-resolution graphics for high-impact shelf appeal.

The round mouth gives consumers easy access to the product inside while the square edges of the bottom provide better grip and handling.

The unique squround (square-round) shape of the container ensures distinction on store shelves while providing ease for food manufacturers to adopt the new package. The squround shape is compatible with most current packaging equipment, whether it is for square or round containers.

In developing the SkinnyPack™, IPL and Ana’s Foods took existing technology to a whole new level. With the properties of both flexible and rigid packaging, the SkinnyPack™ highlights the world of possibilities that exists for packaging.

2015 Gold Winners

● Squeezable Mascara Tube Ends Product Dispensing Frustrations, AmorePacific – Korea

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement and Enhanced User Experience

An eye-opening innovation, AmorePacific’s squeezable mascara tube eliminates consumer frustrations with inconsistent delivery, dried out product and inability to extract mascara from the tube.

This squeezable mascara tube is the first matte silicone mascara tube in the world. A hybrid package made of a silicone tube with an aluminum laminated inner pouch, the tube looks like a traditional mascara tube at first glance but surprises users with its enhanced features that address known market needs for functionality and consistent dosing.

With traditional mascara tubes, the high viscosity mascara tends to accumulate along the inner wall, becoming unreachable or dried out. The squeezable mascara tube allows users to soften, reposition the remaining mascara, and transfer the mascara to the applicator with just a light squeeze of the tube. This enables a consistent amount of mascara to be delivered every time so that users will get the same great experience with each application.

The enhanced functionalities of the squeezable mascara tube help to dramatically reduce the amount of unusable mascara remaining in the tube and extend the useful life of the mascara, while providing a unique tactile sensation.

● Deodorant Can Engineered to Combine Complexity with Simplicity, Unilever – UK

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement and Enhanced User Experience

The Axe and Lynx aerosol cans showcase an outstanding balance of technology and enhanced consumer experience. Every component of the deodorant can is specially designed to play a specific role in maximizing the consumer experience, reducing impact on the supply chain and maximizing efficiencies.

The vibrant aluminum cans feature a squround (half square, half round) shape to deliver a unique look while accommodating the industry standard 1 inch valve. The square body rotates to reveal the valve and trigger button, allowing consumers to experience the same twist-open action of the previous cans. As the body rotates, the button emerges from the flat top and tilts to provide a pleasing opening experience.

To eliminate leakage or accidental activation, the spray channel is designed to engage with the valve only when in the open position. When the valve is closed, the spray channel separates from the valve completely. The button, designed using insights gathered from consumer studies, activates regardless of how the consumer holds the can or where they press on the button.

With this aerosol can, Unilever took precise, high-level engineering and delivered it to the Axe/Lynx consumers in a sleek, yet sophisticated way that differentiates it from competition.

● “Travel-size” Truly Becomes “Carry-size” with New Ultra Slim Spray Bottle, MiiSTS Int’l. Inc.; HotPot Design– USA

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement and Enhanced User Experience

Need a blast of mouthwash? Wish you could fit a bottle of hand sanitizer in your designer jeans? MiiSTS™ ultra slim sprays makes it possible to easily carry premium everyday essentials for when you need them most. Helping to bring “Your Personal Care Anywhere,” MiiSTS™ bottles are establishing a new standard for convenience packaging.

MiiSTS™ is the only flat travel-size bottle in the market. The ultimate in portability and convenience, the MiiSTS ™ bottle is the rough dimensions of a credit card and just 5mm thick at its thinnest point. MiiSTS™ is fitted with a pump housing that allows consumers to spray the product while keeping the package leak-proof. The precise engineering of the tight welds on the very thin corners of the injection-molded, polypropylene bottle gives a smooth, virtually seamless, appealing finish.

The sleek and modern MiiSTS™ discreetly fits in tight pockets and bags with virtually no bulge. Each MiiSTS™ contains approximately 11mls (about 150 sprays) of the MiiSTS™ product, including natural hand sanitizer, natural insect repellent, sunscreen spray, lens cleaner, stain remover, burn and bite relief and more.

● Slider Technology Re-engineered to Keep Children Out of Easy-Open Packaging, Pactech Packaging; Reynolds Presto Products – USA

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement and Enhanced User Experience

As demand for convenience increases, manufacturers must develop packaging solutions that provide both easy opening and restricted access as needed. With over 20 years of experience producing child-resistant flexible pouches, Pactech Packaging partnered with Presto Products to develop a slider-based closure that has passed the testing requirements set forth in Title 16 CFR 1700 of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). This new technology will allow products that had been previously packaged in child-resistant boxes or bulky plastic containers to be packaged in flexible packaging.

Produced in a variety of sizes from 8.5” x 5” to 13.5” x 18” with and without a standup gusset, the size of the package is scalable to the size desired by the end user. This allows end users to keep a consistent look to their package while sizing it right for their products. Medi-CRREO™ Child Resistant Pouch offers increased graphic billboarding that cannot be seen on prescription bottles or rigid blister packaging. The Medi-CRREO™ with Child Guard™ closure also uses a high strength barrier material that is bite and tear proof.

Markets for the Medi-CRREO™ with Child Guard™ closure include food and consumer products as well as prescription medication, agricultural products and household chemical products.

● Medical Package Plays Vital Role in Surgery Preparation, Medtronic CardioVascular; Prent Corporation – USA

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement and Enhanced User Experience

Previous packages for TAVI catheter devices required significant hospital preparation and resources in preparing the catheters for use. The new EnVeo™ R Packaging is designed with added functionality that helps streamline the valve preparation and loading process before surgery.

The innovative tray provides a single user complete control and additional functionality during the preparation and loading of the valve onto the catheter. A reflective film strip is located within the integrated loading bath of the tray, giving the nurse a 360 degree visualization of the valve and all the attachment points to provide confidence and comfort of precise valve loading on the catheter.

A unique swivel feature in the tray design, along with locking features, allows the tray to be in a straight configuration during transportation, then manipulated through the swivel feature into a u-shaped configuration during valve loading in the surgery preparation.

With the new tray, aspects of the loading process are streamlined to reduce the burden on the operator, while still maintaining the tray’s primary role to contain the catheter in a sterile environment and deliver it securely to the end user. The tray helps reduce the labor needed for catheter preparation at hospitals by 50 percent.

No longer seen as packaging waste, the EnVeo™ R package has become an essential part of the surgical team.

2015 Silver Winners

● ORS Package Provides Simple, Life-Saving Solution, Mix Pak System S.L.; Interapothek – Spain

Honored for Excellence in Enhanced User Experience

Over 842,000 people in the world die annually from dehydration causes. About 750 million people worldwide lack access to clean water. Mix Pak System’s Oral-Rehydration-Salt (ORS) package addresses these needs to put life-saving treatment into the hands of the people who need it.

Mix Pak System, S.L. collaborated with Interapothek to develop a new product for its comprehensive pharmaceutical portfolio, an oral rehydration salt (ORS) serum.

The ORS package is a dual chamber pouch, with one compartment containing a precise dose of powder supplements and the other containing fresh water. The two chambers are separated by a frangible seal, made with DuPont™ Surlyn® resin, which can be opened by applying pressure on the water compartment. Once the seal is opened, both ingredients mix and the ORS is ready to be consumed.

The separation of the ingredients eliminates the need for refrigeration and increases the shelf life of the product to two years (mixed ORS packages have a shelf life of hours). This very simple packaging solution brings life-saving treatment to people in areas with no electricity, infrastructure or drinkable water.

● Super-sizing Peel-and-Reseal Technology for Club Store Cheese, Bemis Company, Inc. – USA

Honored for Excellence in Enhanced User Experience

The new BelGioioso Mild Provolone package raises the bar for resealable packaging at the club store level. Made up of two individually-sealed compartments, this transformational package provides consumer convenience by allowing the user to easily peel and reseal the package 20 times or more with fingertip pressure. What’s more, the perforation between the two compartments allows the consumer to easily separate without using a knife or scissors.

Bemis’ SmartTack™ EZ Peel® Reseal™ technology allows the individual cheese compartments to be sealed separately, preserving the freshness of the unused portion until opening and reducing food waste – all while creating differentiation at the club store level for BelGioioso Cheese.

● Razor Package Captures Senses with Multi-Dimensional Graphics, The Gillette Company – USA; think4D Inc. – Canada; Placon – USA

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement

The multi-dimensional graphics and eye-catching design of the Gillette® Venus® Swirl™ package give consumers a multi-sensory experience right at the store shelves. Printed with think4D technology, the thermoformed lid features a multi-dimensional silver ball printed and formed in precise detail to showcase the new FLEXIBALL™ design of the Venus® Swirl™ razor. The arched bottom tray reflects the razor’s own curves.

Typically, sealing to an arched surface is challenging and results in high scrap rates. This challenge was solved by using think4D’s pack-out system in which the multi-dimensional lids are packed hot right off the thermoforming line. The residual heat enables the lids to maintain the desired arc and lie nicely on top of the arched trays, minimizing spoilage and maximizing automation efficiencies during the heat-sealing process. With this package, Gillette and think4D take thermoforming of a printed substrate to a whole new level.

● Transportation Packaging – Now Stronger and More Responsible, Compadre, LLC – USA

Honored for Excellence in Responsible Packaging

Parcel and freight shipping are now more sustainable with the introduction of the Kübox easy crating system. This paper-based crate fills the need when customers want something lighter, less expensive and easier to use than the traditional wooden crates or plastic cases, but a corrugated box is not enough.

With half the weight of a wood crate and compression strength of over 5,000 pounds, the Kübox is both very light and very strong. Through innovative design, the Kübox can be easily and safely assembled/disassembled without tools and can be shipped/stored flat, saving on space, labor, and transportation costs.

The strength and durability of the Kübox ensure that the contents, from gallery artwork to aircraft engines, stay safe throughout delivery. After delivery, the Kübox can be reused in a variety of ways, most often as furniture and storage by consumers and for repetitive, out and back shipments by businesses.

● Conditioner Container Combines Functionality with Aesthetics to Embody Premium Brand, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd.; Classy Kontainers – India

Honored for Excellence in Enhanced User Experience

Godrej partnered with BBLUNT, a premium Indian salon chain, on the development of their first hair care product line.

BBLUNT conditioners have high viscosity which provides superior product performance, but are difficult to dispense from bottles made of regular polymers. Therefore, polyethylene copolymer with the lowest modulus was chosen for the bottles to provide great squeezability even at high wall thickness. However, the polyethylene copolymer made the surface dull and prone to scratching.

Godrej found that a thin layer of DuPont™ Surlyn® resin delivers superior surface gloss, scratch resistance and a rich feel. Processing the two polymers without a tie layer was a challenge as the difference in material rheology caused variations in wall thickness, parison sagging and improper blowing. Extensive trials were conducted with Classy Kontainers to stabilize the process and get consistent output.

The BBLUNT conditioner bottle conveys the essence of the premium BBLUNT brand through its bold shape and shine.

● Sampling Lipstick Puts Color on Lips and Confidence in Minds, Grupo Boticario; Ycar Artes Gráficas – Brazil

Honored for Excellence in Enhanced User Experience

Single-use lipstick sampling completely changes the lipstick sampling experience in Brazil. Makeup testing can be an unsanitary experience for consumers. The shared sampling pots in stores may become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs that can cause minor to serious skin problems or infections. To solve this issue, Grupo Boticario developed a new way to test lipstick that provides a simple, engaging, and sanitary experience for customers.

The sampling lipstick is a single dose of lipstick “printed” on coated cardboard through a process similar to graphic printing. To test, the consumer simply removes the plastic film, folds the cardboard in half and applies the lipstick directly to the lips, without needing to use fingers to spread the lipstick on. Each sampling lipstick is used once and then disposed. This simple, easy-to-use sampling solution offers consumers in Brazil a realistic preview of the lipstick color and texture and gives them confidence to purchase the product.

● Moisture-Proof Bag Protects India Cement Industry, UFLEX LIMITED – India

Honored for Excellence in Technological Advancement

The cement industry in India is the fourth largest in the world, but more than 3 percent of the cement produced is lost in the supply chain. This loss is largely attributed to the cement bags being stored in open environments across the supply chain, making them vulnerable to damages caused due to exposure of cement bags to rain, unpredictable outdoor conditions and extreme climate.

The Flex SafePack is specially designed to provide a barrier to moisture and water from entering into the bag, helping the cement withstand harsh environments and maintain its full functionality over an extended period of shelf life.

In developing the SafePack, UFLEX had to address two conflicting requirements: providing de-airation holes required for air to escape during filling and prohibiting moisture from entering into the bags during transportation. UFLEX was able to achieve this challenge through optimized nano-embossing over a flexible extrusion layer. This technological achievement also allows high definition graphics of up to 10 color printing, giving a premium look to a commodity product.

DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers manufactures an extensive mix of adhesive, peelable lidding and sealant resins and provides a globally networked development team to work with customers on packaging programs that help protect the product, environment, improve shelf appeal, convenience and reduce cost in the food, cosmetics, medical products and other consumer goods and industrial packaging industries.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

ICTV Brands Inc. Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Friday, June 19th, 2015


Wayne, PA (PRWEB) May 07, 2015

ICTV Brands, Inc. (OTCQX: ICTV), (CSE: ITV), a direct response marketing and branding company focused on the health, wellness and beauty sector, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

First Quarter 2015 Highlights:

Launched media campaigns for five new products, resulting in incremental revenue of $ 232,000.
Sellout on The Shopping Channel Canada as DermaWand returns to live televised home shopping for the first time in 2 years.
$ 1.8 million in International third party distributor sales, an increase of $ 846,000 year over year.
Adjusted EBIDTA loss of $ 94,000, including up front expenditures for five new campaign launches.
Current working capital of $ 1.9 million.

Richard Ransom, President, stated, “I am happy with the progress we have continued to make throughout the first quarter in developing five new brands, while continuing to open new channels of distribution for our flagship product, DermaWand. Each day hundreds of new customers enter the ICTV Brands family and it is very exciting for our team to have a vast portfolio of products to offer them. As the year progresses, I am confident the investment made in these brands will yield a great return to our shareholders.”

Financial Results:

During the first quarter of 2015, we allocated considerable resources to our portfolio of brands still in a rollout phase, and as a result, we made a strategic decision to reduce the amount of airings of our DermaWand infomercial. Media expenditures were approximately $ 3.2 million and $ 3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accordingly, our net sales decreased to approximately $ 8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from approximately $ 9.8 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Further, due to the reduced media spend, sales related to the DermaVital skin care line during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were approximately $ 822,000 compared to $ 1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Company resumed airings on live televised home shopping in the first quarter of 2015 which resulted in an increase of $ 49,000 to the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to no live televised home shopping sales in the prior year. The Company expects to continue airings on live televised home shopping throughout the remainder of 2015. Additionally, international third party distributor sales were approximately $ 1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to approximately $ 956,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross profit percentage was approximately 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to approximately 74% during the three months in 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 we generated approximately $ 6.2 million in gross profit, compared to approximately $ 7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in gross profit percentage is a result of a higher percentage of international sales compared to DRTV sales, due to international sales having a lower gross profit.

Total operating expenses decreased to approximately $ 6.5 million from approximately $ 7.7 million as a result of the decrease in media spend and volume. Despite the volume related decreases, the Company had a number of significant one time expenditures in Q1, specifically approximately $ 84,000 in print media costs related to the Company’s retail strategy for DermaWand as well as approximately $ 50,000 in radio media expenses for CoralActives. Furthermore, the Company had a number of expenditures for products in the early stages of their life cycle as the Company tested new creative and media outlets. For products with continuity programs, a significant portion of its profits are during the second continuity sale after the initial customer acquisition. The Company’s new products, including CoralActives, Derma Brilliance, elastin-rp, Juvion, and Good Planet Super Solution, contributed net revenue of approximately $ 223,000, gross profit of approximately $ 145,000 and total operating expenses of approximately $ 415,000.

The Company generated a net loss of approximately $ 270,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with a net loss of approximately $ 515,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net loss per share was approximately ($ 0.01) compared to net loss per share of approximately ($ 0.02). Included in the net loss is non-cash share based compensation of approximately $ 162,000 and the investment mentioned above in our new products. Adjusted EBITDA loss was approximately $ 94,000 compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $ 304,000 in the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $ 1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $ 1.9 million, which demonstrates our strong liquidity and continued investment in the growth of ICTV. Additionally, the Company had no debt obligations at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Get the Look: LORDE at the Met Gala 2015

Thursday, June 18th, 2015


(PRWEB) May 05, 2015

Amber Dreadon, one of the fashion and music industry’s most sought-after makeup artists has partnered with luxury beauty brands BABOR and Sisley to create a soft, glowing new beauty look for Grammy Award-winning artist LORDE at last night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit.

For the exclusive, star-studded Met Gala Amber will be using a selection of luxury skincare and makeup products from both iconic brands for LORDE’s Red Carpet look.

The Girl With the Glow: Skincare Breakdown

“I believe that you can’t create a beautiful makeup application without first perfecting the skin, so I began LORDE’s Met Ball beauty ritual with BABOR SKINOVAGE PX Sensational Eyes Refreshing Active Pads. With a mixture of nutrients, minerals and hyaluronic acid, this professional product leaves the delicate eye area hydrated and refreshed. I followed with a product that I am totally in love with, BABOR CLEANSING CP Thermal Spray, which supplies 100% instant moisture as it tones and mineralizes the skin. Next, I used one of BABOR’s beauty ampoules – FLUIDS FP Stop Stress Fluid, which contains power-packed active ingredients that quickly and effectively smooth, calm and strengthen the skin,” Amber said. “I followed with SKINOVAGE PX PERFECT COMBINATION Daily Mattifying Cream which has a light consistency, provides vital moisture, visibly balances and leaves a matte appearance. Finally, I finished with SKINOVAGE PX Sensational Eyes Cooling Eye Gel. Cooling and oil-free, this gel has amazing stainless steel rollers that visibly refresh, relax and smooth the eye area creating a perfect base for eye makeup.”

Makeup Inspiration

“We were inspired by the shades of the Calvin Klein gown she is wearing and the texture of the sequins – how they look in the light and dark and wanted to recreate that on the eye. Keeping that as the focus,” Amber said.

“Sisley Phyto-Teint Eclat oil free foundation was lightly buffed onto the skin to create a light weight flawless base. Sisley Transparent Face powder was used with a large powder brush to lightly set the foundation and to remove unwanted shine. Brows were defined using Sisley Brow pencil in Cappuccino and combed with the comb attached to the brow pencil. Sisley Phyto-Eye Twist in Bronze was applied to the lash line and blended outward. Sisley phyto 4 ombres in #1 dream & #2 mystery were used for a winged bronzed smoky eye with a hint of metallic blue along the lashline. Lips were gently touched with the Phyto lip twists in #1 and #2.”

Jusuru International Receives 2015 DSA Ethos Award

Saturday, June 13th, 2015


Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2015

Jusuru International has been awarded the prestigious 2015 DSA Ethos Award for the successful repositioning of its flagship nutritional supplement, Liquid BioCell™ Life, and the relaunch of its company brand with a new name, new logo, new packaging, new products, and new messaging.

The DSA Ethos Awards are designed to identify and promote programs that serve as examples of direct selling at its best.

“DSA congratulates Jusuru International for their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to direct selling,” said DSA President Joseph Mariano. “This program is an excellent example of the creativity and innovation that continue to drive our industry.”

Jusuru International was launched in 2010 with its flagship product called Jusuru Life Blend, formulated with a patented, highly-bioavailable liquid collagen matrix, resveratrol, and 13 antioxidant phytonutrient fruits. Backed by numerous industry awards and multiple clinical trials, Life Blend improves joint mobility and lubrication, reduces discomfort, and promotes healthy cartilage and connective tissue. It was also clinically shown to reduce wrinkles from the inside-out without cosmetic injections, decrease dryness without the use of topical moisturizers, and reduce the enzyme that can make skin age. Users experience dramatic results and the company’s revenue has grown consistently at an exceptional rate since inception.

“We decided to reposition our flagship product as the hi-tech, highly-advanced, patented, award-winning nutraceutical that it is, build the brand as the premier joint health supplement and a state-of-the-art nutricosmetic, and expand the market to new target audiences. It’s an honor that the Direct Selling Association recognizes the success of our launch with the Ethos Award,” said Asma Ishaq, Jusuru’s president.

Jusuru International relaunched its company and its brand in 2014 with a new name, new logo, new packaging, new products, and new messaging, all targeted to reach new markets.

NAME, LOGO, AND PACKAGING. Jusuru Life Blend was renamed Liquid BioCell ™ Life, based on the patented liquid collagen matrix, and along with this change came a new trademarked logo and new packaging that would position the product as a science-based nutraceutical. A “drop” element was custom designed for the new logo, with the outer drop characterizing the Liquid, the “b” representing BioCell, and the inner red drop defining the functionality of the product working from the “inside-out”.

NEW PRODUCTS. With a formulation containing resveratrol and 13 antioxidant phytonutrient fruits, Liquid BioCell™ Life is targeted to meet the needs of the 50+ baby boomer market.

The dramatic clinical and user results regarding the skin benefits of Liquid BioCell™ identified a yet unmined opportunity among a younger female audience, ages 40 – 50, wanting to look younger and ages 25 – 35 wanting to stay looking young. In response to a growing nutricosmetic market, forecasted to accelerate exponentially to $ 4.24 billion, Jusuru launched Liquid BioCell™ Skin, positioning it as a proprietary nutricosmetic with Liquid BioCell™, ceramides, collagen-boosting extracts, and 14 antioxidant phytonutrient-rich fruits.

Additionally, the company developed its Hello Beautiful App to coincide with the new product launch, allowing consumers to take before and after pictures to measure results that are time and date stamped and properly formatted to share on social media.

A new clinical study came to the conclusion that Liquid BioCell™ can protect the connective tissue of the musculoskeletal system and enhance recovery from intense exercise, illustrating promising new applications in sports nutrition, a market forecasted to grow 83% by 2019. Liquid BioCell™ Sport was launched in September, 2014 as a cutting-edge nutraceutical that fuels physical and mental performance, promotes joint and muscle fitness, and boosts recovery in one proprietary formula with Liquid BioCell™, BCAAs, L-carnitine, 9 antioxidants, and unique performance-enhancing extracts. Liquid BioCell™ Sport is NSF Certified for Sport.

NEW MESSAGING. The company’s main website, Jusuru.com, was redesigned with a fresh, modern feel to better champion the product, attract new target markets, and convey the company’s scientific message in a visual, easy-to-understand format. The website is also designed with 7 targeted microsites, including LiquidBioCell.com, which allow the company’s salesforce to send prospects to targeted areas of interest.

To maintain professional brand integrity of the day-to-day marketing by its independent representatives, Jusuru also launched a highly-advanced marketing system called the Jusuru Media Center. The Media Center gives access to a complete library of professionally branded and customizable videos, audios, presentations, ecards, social media posts, catalogs, brochures, flyers, invites, banners, and more, and allows for measuring results.

RESULTS. Jusuru International’s patented, award-winning nutraceutical, Liquid BioCell ™, was successfully relaunched, and the initiatives have given the company’s independent representatives the vehicles to catapult their businesses and expand their market base, resulting in a 217% increase in sales.

ABOUT JUSURU INTERNATIONAL

Jusuru International was launched out of the science behind Liquid BioCell™, a new generation of nutraceuticals for joints, skin, and cellular health. Backed by 37 clinical studies, 7 US and international patents, and numerous industry awards, Liquid BioCell™ has been making its mark in the multi-billion dollar anti-aging industry.

Dr. Kevin Sadati Announces The Natural Facelift Is the Top Procedure of 2015 for Orange County Plastic Surgery Patients

Tuesday, April 7th, 2015


Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) March 07, 2015

Dr. Kevin Sadati is pleased to announce that the top choice among men and women seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance for the new year is his signature Natural Facelift. Utilizing his Double “C” Plication (muscle tightening) technique, his patients receive a refreshed, youthful appearance without a ‘pulled’ or ‘artificial look’ often associated with a facelift.

The Natural Facelift is performed in office and doesn’t require general anesthesia.
