GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 18, 2005 – Fred Harteis of The Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI, www.iboai.com) announced the Association’s endorsement of Quixtar’s exclusive ARTISTRY skin care and cosmetics brand.

“ARTISTRY skin care and cosmetics products subscribe to the highest quality standards through scientific research and quality assurance, ” says Fred Harteis. “Our members, Independent Business Owners (IBOs) powered by Quixtar, have come to expect the best, highest quality products to support their businesses.”

Based on a study by Euromonitor Consultancy, the world’s leading provider of business intelligence and market analysis, ARTISTRY is one of the world’s top five largest-selling prestige brands of facial skin care and colour cosmetics.

“ARTISTRY’S high-quality formulas, elegant packaging, and technologically advanced product innovation have resulted in ARTISTRY being classified as a prestige brand by Euromonitor,” adds Fred Harteis.

“The ARTISTRY research team uses the same technology to map the skin’s surface that NASA uses to map the surface of the moon,” continues Fred Harteis. “Now that’s state-of-the-art!”

“ARTISTRY products also undergo rigorous formula and advanced safety testing to ensure that each product is safe and guaranteed to perform,” says Fred Harteis.

To stay on top of cosmetic and fashion industry trends, the ARTISTRY brand is backed by one of the country’s most renowned trend forecasting firms. “This ensures that ARTISTRY Trend Colour Collections, such as the new Spring 2005 Dreamscape Trend Colour Collection, offer the hottest hues and must-have new products,” says Fred Harteis.
