PRAI BEAUTY GROUP DEBUTS ON HSN WITH OUTSTANDING RESULTS
 -- HSN Customers Respond to New Beauty Line
with a Sell-Out Launch --

New Canaan, CT (January 15, 2010) – PRAI Beauty resonated with HSN customers and generated outstanding sales during its HSN premiere on January 14, with many of the items that were available exclusively on the interactive multichannel network performing well. 

Customers responded quickly to the luxurious skincare line with more than 1,000 units of the PRAI CRÈME de LUXE High Performance Face and Eye Kit selling out in less than 18 minutes of airtime.  Other favorites among HSN viewers included the FREEZE FRAME Wrinkle Erase and PURE PRAI Crème Royale, both of which made their worldwide debut during the HSN premiere, as well as the 24k Golden Caviar Skin Concentrate, which quickly sold more than 5,000 units.

PRAI Beauty is a global, world renowned collection of luxurious, age defying beauty products infused with the PRAI root essence, the signature ingredient in all PRAI anti-aging products.  The PRAI root is a botanical native to central Thailand and long known to contain smoothing and perfecting skin benefits.

”HSN is the best beauty stage to reach and connect with all women for their beauty needs,” states Kangas.  "PRAI is proud to join a multichannel leader that is educational, entertaining and empowers women.  This partnership provides PRAI with aspiration to become the premiere luxury beauty brand at HSN,” enthuses Cathy.

“Cathy's passion for beauty, astute product knowledge and on-air experience have proven to be the perfect combination for success at HSN," said Michael Henry, Senior Vice President of Beauty at HSN. "HSN has been expanding its offering of luxurious innovative skincare solutions.  The addition of PRAI Beauty to our product portfolio only reinforces our commitment to provide solutions to our customers’ needs.”

Based upon the success of this week’s launch, Kangas will return to HSN this spring to introduce Champagne Truffle Caviar and other additions to the line, as well as showcase perennial favorites such as PURE PRAI Intensive Serum.

OCEANIC SKIN FIRMING CONCENTRATE
PRAI Beauty’s latest breakthrough in visual age intervention

New Canaan, CT (July, 2009) – Scientists have always looked to the world’s oceans for answers about life, wellness and longevity.  One of the most amazing discoveries to date is how marine plants can affect our skin’s health and appearance.  Through scientific research of the lipid, protein, mineral and vitamin content of marine plants, PRAI Beauty’s chemists have identified three key ingredients that have exceptional powers to boost collagen production, retain moisturize and help to recover elasticity of the skin:

  • PADINA PAVONICA – A brown algae that supports the body’s natural production of collagen, the substructure on which the skin's firmness depends.
  • LAMINARIA DIGITATA – A brown algae rich in mineral salts and proteins that helps support collagen synthesis while acting as a potent energy booster, reviving the appearance of dull, fatigued skin.
  • MARINE COLLAGEN – A soluble collagen that allows aging skin to retain its moisture longer while helping to recover its elasticity. 

 

PRAI Beauty has coupled these powerful ingredients with advanced cosmetic science to create the latest breakthrough in visual age intervention.  OCEANIC Skin Firming Concentrate captures the power of the ocean’s renewable and sustainable plant life to give you younger looking skin that is firmer and smoother in appearance.

OCEANIC Skin Firming Concentrate has a suggested retail price of $70.00 and can be purchased on home shopping networks worldwide, at www.praibeauty.com or by calling 1-800-609-7724.  Proceeds of OCEANIC Skin Firming Concentrate support the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to protect ocean wildlife and habitats.

THE PRAI BEAUTY SECRET
Essential to all the PRAI Beauty formulations is the legendary PRAI ROOT ESSENCE from the jungles of central Thailand.  PRAI ROOT ESSENCE has been used for countless generations as a skin rejuvenator, smoother and healing agent.  Long ago, the fresh root was sliced over an open fire to release its active properties and applied as a moisturizer on stretch marks and dry skin.  PRAI Beauty owns the exclusive rights to ancient PRAI-based prescriptions, offering the world a natural, yet scientifically contemporary approach to restorative and healing skin care.
