990330 Antimicrobial Efficacy Proven in Study of Hamburger

Las Vegas - Skinvisible Inc. announced that data from an independent study by one of the premier FDA-accredited clinical laboratories in the United States suggest its patent-pending Skinvisible(TM) hand lotion demonstrated a “significant antimicrobial effect” on test-subjects' hands which had handled and kneaded for two minutes high-fat hamburger patties experimentally contaminated with Escherichia coli (full text of this study is now available at www.skinvisible.com).

“There can be no doubt that use of Skinvisible in restaurants and other food-handling environments -- such as the home kitchen -- in combination with proper hand-washing techniques will more effectively reduce transient pathogens that cause food-borne disease, with or without the ancillary use of gloves,” said Terry Howlett, President and Chief Executive Officer of Skinvisible Inc. “Furthermore, use of Skinvisible lotion in a health care environment, in combination with proper hand-washing techniques, will sufficiently augment the reduction of transient pathogens that cause nosocomial disease transmission.”

The innovative basis of Skinvisible(TM)'s formulation is its proprietary polymer membrane constituents, which form an electrochemical bond to the outermost layer of skin. This substantivity (bonding) continues for up to four hours until the polymer layer is shed through natural turnover of the stratum corneum (the uppermost horny layer of dying skin cells). The lotion's impermeable characteristics prevent intrusion of a wide selection of tested noxious and harmful chemicals, including latex molecules. Clinical studies have demonstrated substantial quantifiable evidence of protection against Occupational Hand Disease (OHD), the second-leading cause of occupational disease in the United States.

Skinvisible(TM) is formulated with a known Over-The-Counter (OTC) FDA- approved antimicrobial agent that demonstrates, upon application to human skin, a protective and ongoing bacteriocidal/bacetriostatic kill pattern upon contact with a broad spectrum of infectious pathogens over the four-hour bonding time.

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Skinvisible Inc. manufactures and markets a proprietary family of protect-the-skin products known as Skinvisible(TM), whose innovative properties target major problem areas in both the Food Service and Health Care industries.
