CLINICAL RESEARCH REPORT

Bio Sculpture Gel 2004 Safety Survey

PURPOSE

IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE TO SHOW THAN TO TELL
Bio Sculpture has done a scientific research study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of UV Light cured gel (Bio Sculpture) - 02 August 2004 Bio Sculpture Gel is to our knowledge the first UV cured nail gel that has undergone and passed this stringent test.

METHOD

Tested to the Highest Standards Clinical Research report to assess the tolerability and efficiency of Bio Sculpture UV light-cured nail gel was conducted on first-time and long-term users. Twenty-five (25) sites participated in the trial and more than 500 volunteers were entered into the study. Previous users as well as first time users were included to ensure that the data gathered over the 6 month evaluation period comprised of not only volunteers that have been exposed to the product over a long period, but also those with no previous exposure. Informative writing confirms that adverse effect like nail fungus infection can be expected after a treatment period of 6 months, therefore the evaluation period was determined accordingly. Data for the evaluation and statistical analysis were collected by means of questionnaires and physical examinations at 2 monthly intervals on three visits. Participants were evaluated for adverse events of fungus infections or (paronychia) and contact dermatitis.

FINDINGS

Five- Star Safety Rating - Tested to the Highest Standards The research result showed that one hundred percent (100%) of first-time users, and ninety nine percent (99%) of long-term users, reported no paronychia or contact dermatitis. Consequently, the conclusion is drawn that Bio Sculpture® UV light-cured nail gel is both highly effective and tolerable for use as cosmetic nail gel.

ARTICLE

Article that appeared in the Dec/Jan 2005 Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Review UV-Light curable gel for nails Bio Sculpture UV-light curable nail gel provides an almost instantaneous binding and curing of the nail gel-coat due to cross-linking of polymers induced by ultraviolet light. Once cured, it leaves the nail hard, yet flexible, with a natural glossy finish. The product is odorless and fume-free and is thought to be the first color nail gel on the market. This innovative product from Clocolan, South Africa, is exported to some 20 countries. One of the cosmetics industry's goals is labeling products as "hypoallergenic". Although the term may have considerable market value in promoting products to consumers, there is, according to the FDA, no such thing as a "non-allergenic" cosmetic (see www.cfsan.fda.gov). However, Bio Sculpture International's nail gel has been tested on 500 volunteers over a six month period by a pharmaceutical research organization and the research shows that neither first-time users, nor 99% of long-term users experience contact dermatitis. This is because Bio Sculpture nail gel is applied without the use of primers and bonders which minimizes allergic reactions.
