Tiffany Fluhme’s Bella Jeunesse To Develop Junior Skin Care Products Using CBI Laboratories
Line to Target Specific Needs of Young Ladies With Special Products for Special Needs
Pittsburgh, PA Tiffany Fluhme, President of Bella Jeunesse, today that her beauty and lifestyle product brand has appointed CBI Laboratories, Ft. Worth, TX to create skin care products specifically targeting teen age ladies.
“Bella Jeunesse products are being created to target the special needs and special skin of young ladies”, said Tiffany Fluhme. “Product that is generic may be fine, but teens are developing and changing, and the skin care product that is fine for older ladies is often not able to address their needs. CBI Laboratories has over 30 years experience creating some of the finest, most cutting edge skin care regimens on the market”.
“We chose CBI after much discussion and many meetings”, said Nancy Ficke, General Manager of Duquesa Marketing, managing consultants for the Bella Jeunesse project. “Their team of bench chemists is advanced, creative and experienced in targeting specific needs. Teens have probably the most difficult skin to care for and they need to develop a lifetime of proper skin care habits to avoid prematurely aging and damaged skin later in life”.
“Young ladies skin is evolving and requires special care”, said Geoff Ficke, President of Duquesa Marketing. “Over the past 20 years we have created a full range of skin care brands and have found CBI Laboratories to be the finest, most creative source of contemporary, advanced formula development. CBI is a perfect partner for Tiffany Fluhme’s Bella Jeunesse”.
Tiffany Fluhme is a graduate of Seton Hill University. She is a recognized health and beauty expert. Her Bella Jeunesse products will commence shipping to fine retailers in the USA and internationally summer 2008.

Duquesa Marketing Engaged to Launch Costa Rican Natural PURA Collagen™
International Marketing and Product Development Firm To Brand and Co-ordinate Launch of Amazing Skin Care Ingredient
Florence, KY Geoff Ficke, President of Duquesa Marketing, announced today that his consulting group has been retained to guide the market launch of PURA Collagen LLC, South Pasadena, CA. PURA Collagen™ is harvested from bovine cattle, growing free range in the pristine highlands of Costa Rica.
“Collagen has been used as an active ingredient in personal care for decades”, said Geoff Ficke. “We were initially skeptical that PURA Collagen™ was little more than another style of collagen. Research and testing, however, confirmed that PURA offers a unique molecular structure and a powerful, all natural delivery system that can not be delivered by current sources of chemically enhanced collagen”.
“PURA is artisan harvested from Costa Rican free range bovine, and delivered to the consumer without any chemical stabilizers or preservatives”, said Nancy Ficke, General Manager of Duquesa Marketing. “PURA Collagen is 100% natural and is exponentially more powerful than any other known collagen source. Our lab chemists agree that PURA is at least 10 times stronger than available collagen treated with additives”.
“PURA Collagen has been a family trade secret for years”, said Richard Schroeder, President of PURA Collagen. “Our collagen is processed by a technique called “Controlled Hydrolysis”, and this creates a “Helicoidal” structure unique to PURA. We are excited that Duquesa Marketing has agreed to manage to launch and branding of our product and story”.
PURA Collagen will be launched in late spring 2009 at Cosmoprof Bologna. The ingredient will be available as a branded topical skin care product for damaged skin and as an active key ingredient for inclusion in products requiring maximized hydration benefits.
