- Patented technology enhances how topical and transdermal drugs and skin care products are delivered
- Polymer delivery vehicle can be tailored to almost any type of molecule including the medicinal components of hemp and marijuana
- 14 patents granted in the U.S. and internationally
- $65 billion market in dermatology, pharmaceutical and other healthcare industries offers strong growth opportunity
Skinvisible, Inc. (OTCQB: SKVI), through its wholly owned subsidiary Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a Research and Development company whose patented Invisicare® technology can be used to revitalize or create new medical or skincare products, allowing a company that licenses Skinvisible’s formulations to sell their own patented product and combat generic competitors.
A prescription dermatology product can generate $100 million or more a year, with the potential to lose 50-90% of that revenue when it goes off patent. Preserving that revenue is why the licensing of a product made with Invisicare is a very desirable option for many companies. The Company has developed a pipeline of 40 products using Invisicare, with a primary focus on optimizing the performance and increasing the value of “gold standard” dermatology drugs and licensing them to international and multi-national companies in the pharmaceutical, over-the-counter and cosmeceutical markets.
Invisicare® is a high performance topical and transdermal delivery system which enhances the delivery of drugs and other ingredients to and through the skin. The key to Skinvisible’s patented technology and trademarked Invisicare® family of polymer delivery vehicles is its formula and process for combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers into stable complexes in water emulsions. Invisicare® can be a key component of life cycle management, extending the life with a new patent-protected product, dramatically expanding the company’s revenue stream.
Independent studies of Invisicare ® have shown the following benefits:
- Active ingredients stay on the skin for up to four hours or more and resist wash off and rub off.
- Delivery method results in improved efficacy, reduced skin irritation and lower required dosage.
- Unique formulations are non-drying and provide the ability to control the release of active ingredients.
- Products form a protective barrier, which means normal skin respiration and perspiration occur and the product wears off as part of the skin’s natural exfoliation process.
Terry Howlett, President, founder and CEO of Skinvisible Inc., said the Company has more than 15 years of scientific research and product development experience. All development is conducted using stringent pharmaceutical standards. The Company has licensed a number of its formulations including a prescription hemorrhoid cream in the USA, its anti-aging Kintari® line of products and DermSafe®, its non-alcohol hand sanitizer to a licensee in China. Producing licensed products for the booming cannabis industry is also an important element of the company’s business strategy.
Skinvisible’s foray into the rapidly expanding market for medicinal and recreational cannabis products is already underway with the development of the company’s first hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) products. Skinvisible has negotiated an exclusive licensing deal in Canada with Canopy Growth Corporation, one of the world’s leading cannabis companies. As part of the company’s overall growth strategy, Skinvisible is also negotiating with a Licensed Producer in Las Vegas where Skinvisible scientists will develop THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products for the legal recreational and medical marijuana market for the USA. Notably, Skinvisible is actively pursuing potential licensees through-out the world where medical cannabis is legal. These licensees will have the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute Skinvisible’s cannabis products within their territory.
“We are excited about the results we are already seeing just with our hemp-derived CBD products,” Howlett says. “Our science shows that our CBD products release almost four times that of market leaders and our transdermal product had an 81% penetration rate at 6 hours. These results are significant and provide the difference between ordinary cannabis products and ones enhanced by Invisicare.”
The Company’s business model includes out-licensing its formulations for a development fee, license fee and on-going royalties in addition to selling its Invisicare polymers to its licensees.
