About DAVI LUXURY BRAND GROUP INC.

DAVI LUXURY BRAND GROUP, INC., founded by Carlo Mondavi, grandson of American Icon Robert Mondavi, develops, licenses and markets luxury skin care products using the antioxidants found in wine and grapes. The company markets skincare products under the "DAVI Skin” and "DAVI” brand names. The products currently are provided as amenities at prestige hotels and as first class in-flight airline amenities. The company’s goal is to also market its branded skincare products through upscale department stores, specialty retailers, prestige resorts, salons and spas, on cruise ships, and through airline duty-free shops. The company’s skincare products contain minerals, vitamins and nutrients that are found in a by-product of the wine making process called the pomace. Planting techniques at select vineyards produce deeper vines with a lower yield of grapes per vine. After processing, these grapes yield higher concentrations of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients than grapes from other vineyards. Additionally, the uniquely long maceration process to which these grapes are subjected, yield polyphenols in relatively high quantity. Polyphenols are the free radical scavengers that, among other things, help to protect collagen and elastin fibers and prevent the destruction of hyaluronic acid in the skin. Management believes that the use of this pomace will allow for the creation of skin crèmes that can help fight the natural aging process of the skin.
