Yield Growth Receives Health Canada Approval for 2nd Hand Sanitizer
in Fight Against Coronavirus
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada -- April 7, 2020 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- The
Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF) (FSE: YG3) ("Yield
Growth") is pleased to announce a second hand
sanitizer product approval; Urban Juve's Natural Health Product
application for hand sanitizer gel was approved by Health Canada
under its new fast track application process.
Yield Growth Receives Health Canada Approval for 2nd Hand Sanitizer
in Fight Against Coronavirus
The approval was granted on April 2,
2020 by Health Canada's Natural and Non-prescription Health
Products Directorate, issuing Product License NPN: 80098154. This
product licence authorizes the sale of the hand sanitizer gel. The
approval was granted within one week of the application being
submitted, consistent with Urban Juve's hand sanitizer liquid
spray, which was approved on March 27, 2020 under Product License
NPN: 80097926.
"One of the biggest challenges
in getting large volumes of hand sanitizer products to market is
sourcing packaging," says Yield Growth CEO Penny White. "With two
different formulas approved, we have more packaging options, which
will allow us to complete additional manufacturing runs to better
meet the urgent and unprecedented demand for products that limit
the spread of COVID-19."
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends frequent hand
cleaning with soap and water for at least 20 seconds in order to
protect against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19); and if soap and
water are not readily available, it is recommended that individuals
use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Homemade products
are not advised, and it is recommended that consumers
visit the Health Canada
website to learn which products are approved. Both Urban
Juve hand sanitizer formulas are listed as approved.
"Urban Juve is scheduled to start production next
week of our hand sanitizer spray," added White. "We are eager to
roll out these new products which allow Yield Growth to be part of
the solution, as well as leveraging our experience in producing
high-quality, natural personal care products - it's a natural
extension of our expertise."
As Urban Juve increases inventory
production it plans to make the hand care products available
through its retail pharmacy network and Amazon Prime. It will also
donate some inventory to health care workers on the front lines of
the coronavirus pandemic.
Urban Juve hand sanitizing gel is a
unique blend of ingredients and contains 65% Ethyl alcohol,
consistent with Health Canada guidelines.
"Many people experience
hand dryness or even cracking with heavy use of alcohol sanitizers.
To help reduce this, we have created our formula with a multitude
of protective, moisturizing and nourishing ingredients," said
Bhavna Solecki, Yield Growth Director Of Product Research. "This
includes aloe vera extract for hydration, witch hazel for its
anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties, and skin-protecting
essential oils to keep hands moisturized and fresh. Urban Juve
products are designed to nourish, heal and hydrate the skin."
The sanitizers contain the highest
quality natural essential oils including: oregano, thyme, tea tree,
cedar, eucalyptus, blood orange and lemon, all of which are known
for their disinfecting capabilities.
According to Reportsnreports.com, the
global market for hand sanitizers is anticipated to reach $5.5
billion by 2024, up from $2.4 billion in 2017.
