    Innovation Leader Zerran Presents RealLisse® Vegan Hair Smoothing System at America’s Beauty Show (ABS) 2012

    PRWeb – Wed, Feb 22, 2012

    Focus on healthy alternative to keratin and formaldehyde smoothing treatments; pact with new midwestern U.S. distributor announced.

    Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

    In the wake of recent headlines concerning the dangers of keratin and formaldehyde-based hair smoothing treatments, stylists in search of safe and healthy options are seeing Zerran Hair Care with new eyes. With 25 years of expertise in the pro beauty industry, Zerran recently announced all products in RealLisse®, the world's first vegan hair smoothing system, and Reform®, a natural hair straightening system, have undergone and passed dermatological testing with zero adverse results. As with all their lines, both specialty products are 100 percent vegan, botanically based and comply with the new EU Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 commencing July 11, 2013.

    For Midwest-based beauty professionals, the upcoming America's Beauty Show (ABS) offers opportunities to see demonstrations of RealLisse®, featuring Zerran educators and live hair models. The show takes place Mar. 3-5, 2012, at McCormick Place West, 2301 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60616. Zerran will be exhibiting at Booth #4615.

    Zerran Director of Distributor Operations Grant Samples says, “RealLisse and Reform brands have been well-received on the international stage, especially in regions where consumer safety is a high priority. Products can't even get into some distribution channels unless they comply with specific guidelines.” In comparison, Samples points out the American market has considerably more smoothing and straightening product competitors, layers of state and federal regulations, and so many mixed messages to decipher that consumers simply can't process all the information.

    On the eve of the show, Samples is pleased to announce the addition of a new American distributor of professional beauty products. Based in Minneapolis, MN, Natural Organic Pro Beauty/Absolute Salon Services will cover the territories of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. “We look for like-minded colleagues who appreciate our approach to beauty and are committed to doing the work on the ground that leads to success.”

    According to Wyman Lo, president and sales director of Natural Organic Pro Beauty/Absolute Salon Services, LLC, “We are very impressed with the uncompromising product performance from Zerran's innovative approach that changes the texture of the hair without using any questionable ingredients. I believe only a company like Zerran that has so many years of experience and its own R&D and manufacturing capability can achieve this. I also feel very good that the family management team is very responsive and supportive and they really care about the well being of the stylists and the salon.”

    RealLisse® is a revolutionary technology that utilizes vegan proteins in a heat-activated formulation that neither emits nor contains any keratin, formaldehyde, or other harsh chemicals. RealLisse® is now distributed in the United States, Canada, the European Union and Middle East with more alliances soon to be announced.

    Designed to extend the life of the smoothing process, the RealLisse® suite of aftercare products; which promote amazing shine, add moisture and conditioning, and enhance ease of styling; will be available for inspection at the show. Smoothing/Polishing Balm, an effective temporary texture relaxer and smoother, dramatically extends the life of a RealLisse® Vegan Hair Smoothing treatment when applied regularly. RealLisse® branded Smoothing Shampoo, Smoothing Moisture Masque, Leave-in or Rinse Conditioning Serum, and Amazon Oil complete the package.
