SOHM, Inc. Announces Launch of Flagship Skincare Line at Oscar
After Party
Hollywood Will See Another "Star" on Oscar Night: International
Manufacturer SOHM Will Launch FoHM by SOHM™, Its Flagship in an
All-Star Skincare Product Line; FoHM by SOHM™ Is a One-Step Face
Wash That Clarifies, Refines, Cleanses, and Protects
Normal-to-Troubled Skin -- Including Acne and Blackheads -- While
Restoring the Healthy Mantle of the Skin
BUENA PARK, CA -- February 8, 2013 -- SOHM, Inc. (PINKSHEETS:
SHMN) was searching for a prestigious event for the U.S. launch of
its flagship skincare product FōHM by SOHM™,
a rejuvenating, cleansing, and clarifying facial foam powered by
the proprietary formula of Salic2™. When approached to become a
host at an Oscars After Party, Sohm knew the event would provide a
first step towards its acquisition of a global platform and
marketing campaign.
Not only is the Oscars known internationally, but the Awards
Ceremony attracts celebrities from all over the world and one of
television's largest viewing audiences.
SOHM President and CEO Shailesh Shah says, "When first
approached to become a sponsor of one of the Oscar After Parties
and to put our new product in more than 300 Celebrity Gift Bags, we
knew we had found our event!"
FōHM by SOHM™ is a foaming facial cleanser and clarifier made so
powerful by Salic2™ -- SOHM's propriety salicylic acid formulation
-- that it is marketed in India and throughout Asia as a gel
available only from dermatologists and doctors.
U.S. Introduction of FōHM by
SOHM™
So why transform a successful clinical product into an OTC
(over-the-counter) product for U.S. consumption? "A number of
things came together for us," explains Mr. Shah.
"First, we recognized that the American market is more mature
and experienced with this type of product than markets we have been
selling to in developing countries where acne, blackheads, and
other skin conditions also are a problem.
"Second, in other countries we provide cosmeceutical
manufacturing but not distribution, whereas in America we are
taking the product direct to the consumer.
"However, third and most important to our decision was our
innovation of a new delivery system. Normally, a 2% salicylic acid
formulation is delivered as a gel or a cream. However the Salic2
formula in FōHM by SOHM™ is a gentle but powerful foam delivery
system that is perfect for the American consumer. Not only is it
unique, but it is a more effective formulation than has been
available."
Advent Communications retained for U.S. launch
and marketing of FōHM by SOHM™
Advent President Clifton H. Jolley, Ph.D., says: "We anticipate
this product launch to create a new paradigm of success for SOHM in
the multi-billion-dollar skincare market, a space which "is
expected to increase by 10%... driven by facial care," according to
Euromonitor International. We are especially enthusiastic about the
unique delivery system of FōHM by SOHM™: a foam applicator that is
not only convenient for women, but it makes this a product more
likely to be used by men. We know that the more a product fits into
the daily habits of a male consumer, the more successful he is to
use it. Most women use skincare products, but most men don't. At
least, not before FōHM by SOHM™, which can be used by men for
shaving! I grew up in California and have a lot of sun damage on my
face. I've known there are creams and gels that could help, but I
couldn't be bothered. However, since beginning to shave with FōHM
by SOHM™, the difference it made to scaling and other damage on my
face has been dramatic. And all I had to do to enjoy the benefits
was to replace my aerosol shaving cream with FōHM by SOHM™!"
Dr. Jolley also says that the nearly 50 products manufactured by
SOHM assure continued growth in the U.S. market. "With that kind of
depth and an in-house product development team, the market success
we create with FōHM by SOHM™ can be supported with regular product
introductions."
Oscar After Party Benefiting St. Jude
The Oscar After Party at which FōHM by SOHM™ powered by Salic2™
will be introduced is produced by Hellman & Walter's at the
Andaz Hotel on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood. Proceeds from the
party will benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital. "It's a real plus
for us that at the same time we have such a prestigious event for
the introduction of FōHM by SOHM™ to an influential celebrity
community, we also are contributing to the research of St. Jude's.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has provided life saving
treatment for thousands upon thousands of children, and we feel
honored to contribute to the future research of such a
well-respected American institution."
