Skin Elements enters Chinese skincare market
During the quarter, Skin Elements entered into a binding term sheet (Term Sheet) with Henan province-based health and skin care distribution group, Henan Huatuo Health Management Co, Ltd (HHHM) for a $2.4 million strategic investment and the execution of a major sales and distribution agreement for up to $20 million of its skin care product range for the Chinese skin care market.
The Company has received the first payment of $300,000, for its opening order pursuant to its Term Sheet with HHHM. A further $200,000 was also received as part of the first tranche of the proposed $2.4 million strategic investment in Skin Elements by HHHM which is subject to shareholder approval.
The Company also continues to negotiate sales into its existing online and distributor channels and new key international markets.

Skin Elements Executive Chairman Mr Peter Malone said;
"The agreement with HHHM is our first large scale distribution transaction in our key targeted global markets, and on delivery of the key terms, it is expected will provide a strong production platform and clear opportunity to expedite other potential global opportunities."
