NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - December 29, 2016) - Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTC PINK: TAUG) (“Tauriga” or “the Company”), a company engaged in building businesses in the life sciences space, has today announced the execution of a non-exclusive License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Cleveland, Ohio based cosmetics products firm Ice + Jam LLC (“Ice + Jam”) (website: www.iceandjam.com). Under terms of the License Agreement, Tauriga will market Ice + Jam’s proprietary Cupuacu Butter lip balm, sold under the Trademark HERMAN and the two companies will evenly share (“50% / 50%") any and all revenue and profits generated by Tauriga’s marketing, sales, and distribution efforts.

The effective duration of the License Agreement is 12 months with an option to extend for an additional 12 months based on mutual agreement.

Cupuacu Butter is derived from the fruit of the Cupuacu Tree; a tropical rainforest tree related to Cacao (the base of chocolate production). Common throughout the Amazon basin (South America), it is widely cultivated in the jungles of Colombia, Bolivia and Peru and in the north of Brazil, with the largest production in Pará, followed by Amazonas, Rondônia and Acre. Cupuacu Butter is a good, plant, alternative to lanolin, offering the capacity to attract 240% more water allowing it to function much more effectively as a skin hydrator and moisturizer. In addition though it’s not recognized as an SPF (Sun Protection Factor), Cupuacu Butter is well known for its ability to absorb damaging UVA / UVB rays (“Ultra Violet Rays”) for natural sun protection.

Ice + Jam’s HERMAN product, now distributed by Tauriga, brings to the consumer marketplace “Unscented & uncolored, raw, hand scooped Cupuacu Butter from the Amazon to your lips. Hydration and healing for everyday all day!”
