The clinical trials which will begin on 1 April 2007 will take 12-18 months to complete. Once this testing phase has concluded, applications will be submitted to receive "go-to-market" approval.

"The cosmetics industry has very high standards when it comes to new products being released on the market," said Neil Hunt, VP of Research and Development at Flowercorp, Inc. "This new funding which has been granted for clinical, consumer trials is the first step towards Flowercorp providing holistic cosmetics."
