Boise-based skin care company Episciences has signed a deal with a British distributor that could double annual sales, executives state, according to television reports.
Episciences Incorporated, maker of lotions, suncreens, facial cleaners and creams, was founded five years ago by Fruitland dermatologist Carl Thornfeldt.
Its products, sold under the label Epionce (EP-ee-ahnse), are distributed nationwide to more than 250 physicians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and medical spas.
Last month, it signed a deal with Eden Aesthetics, of Danbury, England, to distribute across Europe.
Spokeswoman Trish Stack says the deal could double sales in 2008. The private company now has 20 employees and 2007 sales are projected at $3 million.
Thornfeldt said in a press release he started the company because he was dissatisfied with the skin-care products available to his patients.
Epionce products incorporate all-natural plant and fruit extracts that provide skin with key nutrients.
