| Many
great inventions and discoveries in the world were unintentional
or just plain accidents. The story you are about to
read concerning a breakthrough in the cosmetics field
relates another great accidental discovery.
In
1985, in an office in South Florida, a dentist was working
on a patient. The patient was a private investigator.
Medication was given to the patient to alleviate the
pain associated with his treatment. Two days later,
the patient noticed a dramatic improvement not only
in the pain level, but in his skin as well. His face,
which was full of razor bumps, had cleared up!
The
man couldn't wait to tell the dentist what had happened.
Early the next morning, he visited the dentist's office.
"Doc, Doc! What did you give me? What was it?"
The dentist was scared. He thought something
was wrong, "Doc! Look! Look!
My face is cleared up! My razor bumps are gone!"
The
dentist, obviously confused, exclaimed,
"What in the world
are you talking about? What the heck are razor bumps?"
The
investigator began to tell the dentist how important
this discovery was. He mentioned that the dozens of
products already on the market did not come close to
producing the dramatic results he had achieved.
Realizing
that the ingredient could not be taken internally for
long periods of time, the two men experimented with
the formula in an attempt to apply it directly to the
skin. Eight long years of lab work, tests, and patents
produced a very effective formula. The dentist had a
great discovery.
Other
uses for the formula arose in the same "chance"
way that the formula was discovered. Women who bought
the product for their husbands or boyfriends started
trying it on the perpetual ingrown hair problems they
had from shaving, waxing, and having electrolysis on
their legs, bikini lines, and underarms. Not only did
they report to the dentist that the ingrown hair problems
had cleared, but that the formula worked as an excellent
underarm deodorant.
Thank
you for letting us tell our story. We hope you enjoyed
it. We look forward to speaking with you soon about
this revolutionary discovery.
