Solésence Beauty Science Expands to Australian Market as Nanophase Technologies Receives TGA GMP Site Clearance
Romeoville, Il., March 1, 2022 – Solésence Beauty Science, a beauty product developer and manufacturer of finished goods at the forefront of skin health technologies, today announced that it has been issued TGA GMP site clearance for the full finished product manufacture of creams, lotions, sprays, sticks and all topical sunscreen forms. The site clearance has been granted to Nanophase Technologies, of which Solésence is a wholly owned subsidiary.
An innovation-driven beauty science company, Solésence finished goods offer brands patented formulas that leverage an ever-expanding suite of environmental protection technologies within their own Active Stress Defense™ platform. These technologies, which target aggressors such as UV, pollution and HEV (blue) light, are only available through the finished goods that they develop and manufacture. TGA GMP site clearance signals the possibility of expansion into Australian markets.
Jess Jankowski, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “TGA GMP site clearance has been years in the making, and it opens a lot of doors for us in the long term, as it is required to market Solésence-made products as primary sunscreens in Australia. This will also help us to evaluate the strategic possibilities of manufacturing products in-country as our presence grows. Our initial focus will be on establishing a footprint with both new and existing Solésence brand partners, to enable the sale of our patented sunscreen products as primary sunscreens in the Australian market, where the retail market size for sun care is estimated to be around $120 million (USD).”
“At Solésence, we take a holistic approach to enhancing people’s lives through skin health, and that includes making skin health not only an essential part, but also a fun part of consumers’ daily lives,” commented Kevin Cureton, Chief Operating Officer. “Our brand partners across the globe launch clean, inclusive and patented environmental protection products, and our expansion to the Australian market is an exciting and pivotal milestone in the continued globalization of Solésence Beauty Science.”
