Phoenix Global Partners introduces revolutionary alternative to long-standing, high-end cosmetic NBR spongeCompany offers Paragon Sponge to Cosmetics Industry

Bath, PA May 25, 2006: After years of research and development in collaboration with its Japanese partner, Phoenix Global Partners LLC announces it has an alternative to NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) sponge, the reigning material for high quality cosmetic sponges used by well-known brands worldwide. This new material, sold exclusively by Phoenix in North America, South America, and Europe as Paragon, is pure white, odorless, resistant to oil, and does not change color. It is also washable and provides an extremely smooth and luxurious feel against the skin. The edges can be buffed or straight-cut, and the sponge can be made into virtually any shape. Paragon comes in two formulations: soft and firm. In its soft form, Paragon is recommended for powder foundation, and in its firm form is ideal for liquid foundation.

"We’re excited that after 60 years of just having variations of NBR for high quality sponges, customers now have a choice,” states Steve Wilson, head of sales and marketing for Phoenix. “We expect a great deal of interest in this exciting new material.”

Phoenix Global Partners LLC develops and distributes high quality cosmetic sponges, powder puffs, brushes, and other cosmetic applicators to major cosmetic manufacturers, and distributors to make-up artists in entertainment and media. The company is owned by Susan Yoo, Steve Wilson, and Bob Johnson, and has offices and warehousing in Bath, PA.
