“We are excited that we have increased the availability of DermSafe to consumers in Canada through Amazon.ca, Canada’s largest online channel. We have heard great feedback already from people that use DermSafe regularly and how protected they feel when they have it on. Now with the distribution by Amazon there will be greater access for Canadians as well as quicker delivery times, especially for an important product like DermSafe that will help people fight the battle against this pandemic,” said Mr. Terry Howlett, President of Ovation. “Amazon also provides consumers with the ability to receive free shipping if they are Prime members; a substantial advantage when purchasing DermSafe.” He added, “We have launched the personal use on Amazon.ca, a 59ml sized bottle as well as have offered a discount with the purchase of three bottles. We also continue to sell DermSafe through our Canadian distributors. Along with the 59ml bottle, they offer a commercial use 236ml bottle with a precise pump for dispensing that “dime-size” amount of DermSafe lotion which is all you need.”
