Tauriga Sciences, Inc. and Ice + Jam LLC Agree to
Post# of 617763
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 27, 2017) - Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (
With the effectiveness of this 2-year extension, the License Agreement will now be valid through December 23, 2019. Based on mutual agreement, at that time, the companies reserve the option to extend for an additional 2 years (if exercised at that time, this License Agreement would be valid through December 23, 2021).
On October 12, 2017 Tauriga disclosed that the companies have selected the week of December 17, 2017 for the formal launch of "HerMan" branded product. The Company expects that an initial inventory of at least 10,000 HerMan units will be available to support the above-mentioned retail launch.
From a composition analysis, HerMan is primarily composed of the compound Theobroma Grandiflorium ("Cupuacu Butter" or "Superfruit") to leverage the potential benefits that have been well documented historically (see paragraph directly below). The reformulation process specifically addresses the following two issues: maintaining a formula as close as possible to 100% Cupuacu Butter and preventing the drying out of the product in the packaging tube. This will be accomplished through testing the product with various natural emollients -- to determine the best way to maintain the Superfruit's natural state and texture.
Cupuacu Butter is derived from the fruit of the Cupuacu Tree, a tropical rainforest tree related to Cacao (the base of chocolate production). Common throughout the Amazon basin (South America), it is widely cultivated in the jungles of Colombia, Bolivia and Peru and in the north of Brazil, with the largest production in Pará, followed by Amazonas, Rondônia and Acre. Cupuacu Butter is a good plant alternative to lanolin, offering the capacity to attract 240% more water, allowing it to function much more effectively as a skin hydrator and moisturizer. In addition, though it's not recognized as an SPF (Sun Protection Factor), Cupuacu Butter is well known for its ability to absorb damaging UVA / UVB rays ("Ultra Violet Rays") for natural sun protection.
Tauriga has already paid for the first production run of HerMan and is hopeful of generating revenues during the first six months of 2018 and beyond. In addition the Company has already funded part of the marketing budget to support the anticipated upcoming retail launch.
