NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 31, 2024--

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:

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.

Founded in 2009 by Deanna Wallin, Naples Soap Company is a supplier of more than 400 bath, body and personal care products. Products are sold at the Company’s 13 retail locations in Florida.

Rising rivers threaten southern Poland as flooding recedes elsewhere in Central Europe

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Soldiers and volunteers in southwestern Poland laid sandbags Wednesday near swollen rivers around the city of Wroclaw to protect homes and businesses after days of flooding across Central Europe.

Poland joins Austria, the Czech Republic and Romania in being hard hit by floods following record rains in the region starting last Thursday. Authorities have reported 23 deaths, with seven each in Poland and Romania, five in Austria and four in the Czech Republic.

The floods in Central Europe combined with deadly wildfires in Portugal are joint proof of a “climate breakdown” that will become the norm unless drastic action is taken, the European Union’s head office said Wednesday.

The fourth death in the Czech Republic was reported Wednesday, when police said they found the body of a 70-year-old woman who was swept away by waters on Sunday in the town of Kobyla nad Vidnavkou near the town of Jesenik, located in the badly hit northeast.

The weather has improved, with warm and sunny conditions in the Czech Republic, Poland and elsewhere. Water levels were falling in some places, allowing authorities and residents to clean up debris.

Firefighters in Poland were pumping water out of flooded streets and basements. And in Romania, about 1,000 firefighters were working across the country to clean up severely affected areas, the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations said Wednesday in a Facebook post.

But some areas are still under threat, particularly in southwestern Poland.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk held crisis meetings in Wroclaw with local officials and rescue services, urging protective measures and saying his government will help those affected. Floodwaters were expected to crest late Wednesday, and high water levels were expected to continue for many hours, even days.

Soldiers and residents in Marcinkowice, near Wroclaw, laid sandbags near a bridge over the Olawa River, whose waters flow into the Oder, the major river that rises in the Oder Mountains in the Czech Republic and runs north through Poland to Germany.

The community leader of the town of Olawa, Artur Piotrowski, described the situation as difficult. He told the Polish state news agency PAP that two villages in a low-lying area have been flooded since Monday and residents have refused to evacuate.

Thousands of Polish soldiers were in action. Some evacuated people and animals — including dogs and horses — from flood-affected areas and distributed food and drinking water. The army also posted on X on Wednesday that it set up a field hospital in the town of Nysa after patients in a hospital there had to be evacuated earlier this week.

Soldiers also were building a temporary bridge in the town of Glucholazy to replace one that was washed away by the flooding.

Residents in another flood-damaged town, Stronie Slaskie, have appealed to Tusk to send someone to direct the cleaning and recovery action, saying it was chaotic and inefficient.

Experts have been preparing for flood threats due to the cresting Oder River in Opole, a city of some 130,000 residents, which seems to have avoided any major flooding, and in Wroclaw, home to about 640,000 residents, which suffered disastrous flooding in 1997.
