Naples Soap Company, Inc. (OTCQB: NASO), (“the Company”), a pioneering health and wellness brand that offers premium-quality skin and hair care products throughout the United States, today announced it has entered into manufacturing agreements to produce proprietary 3D stem cell formulas utilizing technology developed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for use in new personal care product lines. The proprietary complex in development combines 33 different components to nourish the skin, such as different forms of hyaluronic acid, vital nutrients, amino acids and proteins including collagen and cytokines—growth factors that stimulate cell growth and tissue repair—cultured in a zero-gravity bioreactor to deliver clinically proven superior results compared to current anti-aging skincare products using 2D plant stem cells:

  • 78% less noticeable wrinkles
  • 84% visible reduction in fine lines
  • 91% brighter, more radiant looking skin
  • 100% improvement in overall skin texture

NASA made a large leap in cellular science when it discovered that in zero-gravity, cells are unrestricted and grow three-dimensionally, much like in the body. The cells reproduce faster, in more abundance and in a nutrient-dense manner. To replicate the environment in space, NASA scientists developed a zero-gravity bioreactor which was subsequently tested by astronauts on nine different space missions, resulting in a proprietary method to culture robust 3D stem cells here on earth. In contrast, stem cells grown in standard labs are typically grown in a 2D petri dish setting, yielding key ingredients that are less efficacious.

Naples Soap Company will use superior ingredients generated from 3D stem cells grown in a NASA-designed zero-gravity bioreactor in Florida.

“We are thrilled to bring space-age technology to earth with the aim of improving personal care and wellness. Only in Florida, a leading location for the aerospace industry, does space-age tech meet better skincare on earth,” stated Naples Soap Company Founder & CEO, Deanna Wallin. “Potent, zero-gravity grown 3D stem cells, we believe, will yield us next-generation growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and collagen that will replenish skin, improve hydration, firmness, and elasticity making the Company a serious national competitor in the multibillion-dollar anti-aging skincare market.”

“Our newest product line, integrating NASA’s technology, is expected to launch later this year through wholesale distribution channels and direct-to-consumer at our website and physical stores, further reinforcing our leadership in the personal care industry. We have had much success with previous products such as our Vitamin C Plant Stem Cell Hydra Gel utilizing traditional plant stem cell technology. We are beyond excited to launch our new line providing cutting edge products our customers expect and deserve, ” Wallin concluded.
