We tried their last samples a week ago, they are in product packaging design now, and then the printing of the tubes and filling. I will keep you all updated as I hear more from them. [/quote]
Has anyone heard an update on this? I haven't seen any changes in the products currently on the store shelves.

I will let you all know when I know. I am expecting that they will make a bunch available to the foundation, which we can make available to you. Remember I am not in control of any of this, just passing on what I know each time.

Does anybody have any good information about these people?
