"Miracle In A Box" Makes It To The Big Apple

May 4, 2010 - PRLog -- LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Picture this!  You have just spent the entire day walking through the city that never sleeps.  Bleary-eyed and tired, everything hurts right down to your feet.  Perhaps you got a bug bite in Central Park, a sunburn riding the ferry, or wind-burned cheeks while skating at Rockefeller Center.  Before you make another painful move, you can find instant relief at New York City’s largest, most recognized drugstore chain.

Duane Reade, the one-stop drugstore for New Yorkers on-the-run and tourists on the go, has welcomed the one-stop solution for uncomfortable skin.  Omnibalm 13% Tea Tree Oil Skin Relief Cream can now be found in every one of the chain’s 258 stores.

Omnibalm Skin Relief Cream (http://www.omnibalm.com) is a multipurpose, breakthrough cream that works on everything that ails your skin from head to toe; sunburn, bug bites, dry and cracked skin, minor burns, cold sores, poison ivy, even tired and sore feet.  Essentially, it combines numerous medicine cabinet remedies into one tube.

“Omnibalm is truly a ‘miracle in a box.’  It was invented by a pharmacist after he got the worst sunburn of his life, and nothing else worked,” Omnibalm President and CEO Lydia Carson said.  “For nearly 20 years, he made Omnibalm in his lab and gave it away to family and friends.  Over the years, they discovered that his product is remarkably effective and versatile.  Today, Omnibalm is available so everyone can share the secret of soothing skin care.”

One of the cream's best kept “secrets” is Tea Tree Oil, a naturally powerful, versatile essential oil native to Australia.  Originally used by aborigines for its remarkable healing properties, modern medicine recognizes the antiseptic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that make Tea Tree Oil a natural first aid alternative.

Omnibalm Skin Relief Cream is made of a clinically proven skin protectant and 13% of the highest quality Tea Tree Oil available.  Other Tea Tree Oil creams on the market contain less than 5% concentration.  Omnibalm is more than twice as potent.

“The primary reason we are in partnership with Duane Reade is because the company recognizes that our product fills a niche in offering one of the most powerful Tea Tree Oil products in America,” Carson said.

Customers who say they have tried everything – including prescription strength creams – say Omnibalm works!

“My son got into a patch of poison ivy not long ago.  We tried everything to clear it up, even steroids and creams prescribed by his doctor, but Omnibalm was the only thing that worked.”  Penelope – Little Rock, AR

“For 10 weeks, four of my fingers have been dried out and cracking.  I bought about 10 different moisturizers trying to relieve the bleeding and stiffness of my fingers.  On Thursday I purchased Omnibalm, and by Sunday my fingers were completely restored.”
Stephen – North Little Rock, AR

“I’ve found a new use for Omnibalm!  I went on a long walk and developed ugly blisters on my toes.  I put Omnibalm on the blisters before going to bed and woke up blister-free!”
Lucia – Washington, DC

Omnibalm Skin Relief Cream, which retails for $12.99, is located in the first aid section of all Duane Reade stores.  “We are ecstatic that Duane Reade has chosen Omnibalm.  We think it’s a great fit,” Carson said.  “Millions of people will now be able to reap the benefits of the miraculous product we have been using to help make people feel better for years.”
