Helix BioMedix, Inc. (OTCBB: HXBM), a developer of bioactive peptides, today announced it has acquired 30 percent ownership interest in NuGlow Cosmaceuticals, LLC (NuGlow).

NuGlow will place its first order by July 31, 2010.

“We are pleased to announce our investment and supply agreement with NuGlow, which creates the opportunity to bring the next generation in advanced skin care technology products to consumers,” stated R. Stephen Beatty, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix BioMedix. “NuGlow has established a tested, cost-effective and proven direct response model that I believe will increase the value proposition for the commercialization of Helix BioMedix technologies. We currently expect the initial marketing campaign to begin in the Fall with NuGlow targeting 28-50 year-old women. This campaign complements our Striking™ Skin Care marketing focus by including a younger demographic.
