Ovation Science, Inc. has entered into an exclusive agreement with Skincareguide.com Ltd., to act as the Company's Medical Dermatology Advisory Board for cannabis formulated products. The objective of the Medical Dermatology Advisory Board is to provide guidance, along with clinical, scientific, research and strategic advice to the Company as it continues to advance it's topical and transdermal cannabis product development.  

With the Company's Medical Dermatology Advisory Board in place, Ovation, a cannabis product development company with a patented skin delivery technology and backed by over 20 years of research and development, will be able to consider dermatology-focused product line expansion following the previous announcement of its anti-aging product line ARLO Beauty. It will allow Ovation to reinforce the science behind its product lines by relying on this international team of outstanding experts in dermatology as well as increasing its R&D into dermatology-focused conditions in order to maintain and support the Company's advantage in the topical cannabis market globally, the company says.

"As a company focused on providing science to support our product lines, we are delighted to announce this important addition to Ovation's research and development process," said Terry Howlett, President of Ovation. "The collective knowledge and insight that each distinguished physician on our Medical Dermatology Advisory Board brings is invaluable to us and ultimately the people that use our products. This board is also a great complement to Ovation's team that combined has over 75 years of dermatology, pharmaceutical and drug delivery experience. Our goal is to provide consumers with products that enhance their health and appearance and ultimately their quality of life.  We believe this board will be instrumental in guiding this effort through product development and clinical trial initiatives.  We look forward to collaborating with them as we develop our effective, safe and unique pipeline of topical and transdermal cannabis products."
