Vancouver, BC – Ovation Science Inc. (CSE: OVAT) (OTCQB: OVATF) (“Ovation” or the “Company”), a topical and transdermal cannabis product development company with a patented skin delivery technology and backed by over twenty years of research and development, is pleased to provide this update on the ongoing research and development of its topical and transdermal cannabis products using its patented skin delivery technology Invisicare®.
Since its last update on product development, Ovation has continued to innovate with its topical and transdermal CBD and THC product formulations. Within the field of topical delivery, Ovation excels in delivering “more drug to and through the skin”. Ovation leverages its patented Invisicare® technology to deliver superior cannabis and hemp products to the consumer. Using pharmaceutical techniques and protocols, Ovation ensures that each new product formulations goes through a succession of check and balances including verifying the strength of CBD and/or THC in each formula and production batch. Additionally, it conducts stability studies to ensure the longevity of the product and to ensure the CBD/THC remains in the product for an extended period of time once it hits the retail shelf. The Company also uses proprietary methods to test its products to ensure the CBD or THC actually releases from the formulation in addition to ensuring the product remains bound to the skin and resists wash-off or rub-off; just another benefit of Invisicare®. Particularly in Nevada, Ovation’s formulations, sold by its licensee, has established a strong reputation with consumers and budtenders alike.
“Ovation Science has an established background in the research and development of topical products,” said Terry Howlett, CEO of Ovation Science. “We understand the science behind delivering effective products; ones that consumers will buy over and over again.” He added, “We now have over thirty products fully developed, including stability data. These product formulations cover both health / wellness and beauty. Our health and wellness products in particular have been developed to have many ratios of CBD to THC including 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:10 and the reverse: 2:1, 3:1 and 10:1. These ratios have shown to have different therapeutic effects depending on the amount of CBD versus THC in the formulation. Not only do we believe our products are game changers in the topical cannabis industry; they are all protected by patents so no other company can duplicate our success.”
Currently the Company has one licensee in Nevada who sells the Ovation formulations into the 60 plus dispensary market in Nevada. Ovation seeks to duplicate on Nevada’s success by expanding its distribution in the other 37 US states presently approved to sell cannabis. To expedite this process the Company is seeking MSOs (multi-state operators) who are operating in several states to gain quicker access to the US market. The topical cannabis, particularly CBD is growing exponentially and is expected to reach $4.5 billion by 2025 according to a report by the Brightfield Group, a leading cannabis research company. This would signify an increase of 540% in just four years.
