LONDON and BRISBANE, Australia, September 8, 2016 - Microskin plc (MLSKN:Euronext Paris) announced today it has commenced the process to register the Company's Sunseal and second skin product as a sunscreen with Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Microskin has a personalized, color-matched line of waterproof, second skin products that are currently used by people who want to conceal vitiligo, rosacea, birthmarks, burns, eczema, lupus, keloid scarring, tattoos, and other skin-related conditions. Sunseal is a non-pigmented sunscreen that retains all the other properties of the "second skin" product, including sweat proof, highly waterproof, and long lasting.
"We have now engaged a third-party testing service company to provide the necessary analysis to formally register Microskin's Sunseal and second skin product as a sunscreen with the TGA," said Barry Amor, chairman of Microskin plc. "Previous results from our extensive testing, has confirmed that our 'second skin' and Sunseal products have a high degree of sun protection."
Previous in vitro testing, contracted by Microskin and completed by Australian Photobiology Testing Facility, indicated that the Company's second skin products are highly protective, very highly waterproof and sweat proof. In addition, the testing confirmed that the Microskin second skin products are not removed by washing or scrubbing.
"We believe that Microskin's second skin products can provide serious, long lasting UV protection for professional use," added Mr. Amor. "Once we advance through the registration process with the TGA, we will pursue similar registration processes with the regulatory agencies in the European Union and the United States."
