With their commitment to collaborate and support local SME’s in the country, the CPL Group recently launched the Pearl Body Scrub range of scrubs in their Pharmacy after a recent collaboration of endangered animal plush toys with a local entrepreneur. The new-look Pearl Body Scrub range was officially launched to market on the 24th of May in City Pharmacy by CPL Chief Executive Officer, Navin Raju, CPL Founder Sir Mahesh Patel, Pearl Body Scrub Founder Sarah Artango and SME Corporation Chairman, John Pora. Founder Sarah Artango said that the inspiration for creating the product almost 10 years ago came from a necessity for her own skin, having had an allergic reaction to another skin product when she was younger. She had started with homemade moisturizers, creams, scrubs, and balms, then added plant, seed and fruit extracts to create Pearl Cosmetics. “We would previously do home deliveries up until 2022, where I got to directly meet with clients and get feedback on the scrub.” “Wanting an easier and accessible avenue for our customers, we approached CPL and here we are now.” “What makes our product unique is that it uses goat milk, that’s suitable for all skin types.” Ms Artango added, “I’d like to thank CPL for the opportunity, and Mr. Tomson Tomoiye and Professor Topul Rali for assisting us with our testing and certification process”. Meanwhile, CPL Chief Executive Officer, Navin Raju said “CPL has always been a staunch supporter of SME’s, and so we are pleased to now stock Sarah’s products in our select Pharmacies.” “I would like to encourage our customers to purchase and support our innovative SME’s”. “I’d like to congratulate Sarah, her team and everyone involved in the project in bringing the products to market.” The products are fantastic and we’re glad to have them stocked firstly in our Vision City, Showroom, Harbour City and Waigani Central Pharmacies”, added Sir. Mahesh Patel, CPL founder. The Pearl Body Scrub collection is now available to purchase in 250mL and 500mL tubs, and offer Lemon, Tumeric and Coffee Scents.
