Pompano Beach, Sept. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DS Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSKX), a leading developer of personal care products, today announced it has launched its Brazilian website: http://dslabshop.com.br. The e-commerce site provides convenient online shopping for Brazilians. The site also offers extensive product information to support in-stores sales of its products.
DS Healthcare recently expanded the distribution of its products into Brazil's CSB Drogaria which operates two retail pharmacy chains, Drogasmil and Farmalife with stores primarily located in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area.
"Our new e-commerce site in Brazil reaches the country's broader population.
