Bio-Oil stir set to continue
July 10, 2013
UNITED Prestige, the importing
company which has excited
considerable interest by promoting
itself as an alternate source of a
range of products including Bio-
Oil, says it’s been overwhelmed
with enquiries about the product
after the offering was promoted in
Pharmacy Daily (PD 20 May).
CEO Andrew Christopher told
PD yesterday that “hundreds of
chemists have rung Prestige for Bio-
Oil,” adding that he’s determined
to dramatically increase the supply
of the product in order for more
pharmacies to be able to save.
He said that in the next couple of
weeks his company will introduce a
direct online service for pharmacies
to buy the product direct.
“We are on a mission to be as
competitive as we can be on Bio-
Oil, assisting independents to buy
better and be more competitive,”
Christopher added.
He said that United Prestige’s
price has not changed despite a
14% drop in the Australian dollar,
and thanked the local pharmacy
industry for its support.
Following the company’s original
announcement, Aspen Australia,
which says it holds the exclusive
license to distribute Bio-Oil in
Australia, said it accepts no
responsibility for the quality of
products not purchased via the
“official channel” (PD 13 Jun).
Aspen confirmed that the United
Prestige offering has generated
“confusion in the market”.
