Quarterly Activity Report - Period ending 31 March 2020
Australian natural skin care company Skin Elements Limited (ASX: SKN) (Skin Elements, the Company) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activity Report for the period ending 31 March 2020.
New Product – Invis-Shield Natural Sanitiser
Skin Elements announced the launch of Invisi Shield® Natural sanitizer during the quarter. It is a natural alcohol-free, anti-microbial sanitiser designed to deliver protection against 99.9% of germs.
With the formulation and launch announced, production is now underway with Invisi Shield® Natural sanitizer now available through the Company’s online store www.sknlife.com.au in the current quarter. Independent laboratory testing against the COVID-19 surrogate is also underway with results expected shortly.
Global Opportunity
Skin Elements also continues to maintain its focus on developing sales in Australia and global markets for its Soleo Organics natural sunscreen and PapayaActivs natural therapeutic pawpaw skincare range. Further orders and deposits were received during the quarter, notwithstanding the impact of COVID-19 restrictions that has seen the delay of orders from national and international distributors and the shift to direct online sales through the Company’s online store.
The Company has also experienced Increased costs and increased shipment timeframes for national and international freight, which has resulted in delayed production and the delivery of stock.
Production Funding
During the quarter the Company secured a $1 million pre-factoring financing facility with Custodian Australia Pty Ltd of which $250,000 has been drawn down for the purchase of ingredients, packaging and securing production slots with the Company contract production laboratories.
This facility has now been increased to $10 million on similar terms which will allow the Company to scale up production for its products to meet demand for large scale orders, particularly for the Invisi-Shield Natural sanitiser.

Manufacturing Underway
Following delivery of 100,000 bottles and active ingredients for the Invisi-Shield Natural sanitiser, production has commenced in the Company’s facility in Perth. This has enabled the Company to fast track production for immediate sales under a COVID-19 environment.
In addition, the Company has manufactured 20,000 tubes of Soleo Organics natural sunscreen, and a further 25,000 tubes of PapayaActivs pawpaw based natural skincare. These products are being delivered to distributors, and are available for sale on the Company’s online store www.sknlife.com.au , in the current quarter.
Medium Term Growth
The Company has retained a core focus on balance sheet management and continues to review cost structures and working capital requirements to ensure an appropriate level of capital is available to support the increased production demand for its natural skincare product range required to fulfil sales growth.
To this end, the Board is currently assessing a number of equity / debt proposals that can provide future working capital to ensure Skin Elements can access the necessary working capital to support this production growth. The Company will seek shareholder and any other regulatory approvals once details have been finalized.
Capital Raising and Underwriting
Skin Elements completed during the quarter, a fully underwritten non renounceable rights issue to raise approximately $1 million, and a further placement raising $375,000 working capital to support production of the Company’s products.
Skin Elements has also announced on 16 April 2020 that it has entered into an underwriting agreement with State Securities Pty Ltd to fully underwrite the exercise of the Company’s options expiring on 31 December 2020.
