PARAFFIN INTERNATIONAL NAMED TOP INNOVATOR IN ARIZONA
gLOVE Treat Manufacturer Finalist in Arizona Innovation Challenge
PHOENIX (Dec. 11, 2015) –Paraffin International Inc. today announced that the company has
been selected as one of 10 finalists in the Fall 2015 Arizona Innovation Challenge (AIC) for its
innovative gLOVE Treat®
, a revolutionary therapeutic paraffin wax treatment for hands and feet.
The AIC, which is powered by the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA), awards the most
money in the United States for a technology commercialization challenge – up to $250,000 per
company for a total of $3 million annually.
Companies may receive up to $250,000 to invest in their businesses if they achieve certain
milestones within a 12-month period. During the rigorous evaluation process, a panel of expert
judges assess each company’s marketing strategy, technology potential, management team and
overall economic impact. For the Fall 2015 AIC, over 130 applications were submitted by
companies from five states and numerous industries, including IT-Software, Bio and Life
Sciences and Cleantech/Renewable Energy. The Fall 2015 AIC winners will be announced by
year’s end.
“We are excited to be recognized by the ACA as a top innovator in Arizona,” said Kevin Weber,
CEO of Paraffin International, the Arizona company that manufactures and markets the gLOVE
Treat brand. “As we continue to revolutionize traditional uses for paraffin wax with other
innovative products currently under development, we extend our gratitude to the ACA for this
prestigious and generous recognition.”
gLOVE Treat gloves and boots are an innovative, all-in-one solution to the disadvantages of
traditional paraffin wax treatments. The easy-to-use, self-contained paraffin gloves and boots
feature patented technology that allows the all-natural paraffin formula, which also contains
lavender and coconut oils, to penetrate the skin and provide exceptional moisture absorption in
less than 15 minutes.
A staple in the beauty industry for nearly 50 years, traditional paraffin wax treatments have
proven to be cumbersome, messy and unsanitary. Medical offices, salons and devoted at-home
users have kept paraffin wax in reheatable pots, which require up to four hours to liquefy the
wax, before ladling it into plastic bags for individual customer use.
gLOVE Treat eliminates the hassle and mess with its sensible design. After just two minutes in a
conventional microwave, gLOVE Treat’s thermochromatic indicator alerts users when the
paraffin wax is at a safe temperature to use. Users wear the gloves or boots, secured with a fabric
fastener, for just 15 minutes, and the treatment is complete. Each pair of gLOVE Treat gloves
and boots can be used up to four times.
gLOVE Treat recently earned a coveted spot on O, The Oprah Magazine’s acclaimed O List, a
hand-selected compilation of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite consumer products and gift items,
making its debut in the January 2016 issue.
