Five-Year Agreement Extends Commercial Reach Across India, LATAM, Russia, Australia and New Zealand
Fort Pierce, Fla., June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caring Brands Inc. (Nasdaq: CABR), a consumer brands company specializing in skin care and hair growth, and SanPellegrino Cosmetics Private Limited (“SCPL”), a New Delhi-based specialty pharma and dermatology licensing company, today announced the execution of a revised multi-territory licensing agreement covering Photocil and Hair Enzyme Booster.
The revised agreement, effective May 21, 2026, builds on over three years of successful commercialization and expands the scope and term of the parties’ existing commercial relationship across key global markets. Both Photocil and Hair Enzyme Booster are currently manufactured in India.
Since their launch in India, both Photocil and Hair Enzyme Booster have demonstrated good commercial performance and clinical acceptance across the dermatology and hair science communities. Photocil — commercialized as Photofirst by Eris Lifesciences, (“Eris”) one of India’s leading specialty pharma companies — has established itself as a clinically differentiated option for dermatologists treating vitiligo, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. The Hair Enzyme Booster has begun to achieve significant traction across India and Asia, having been licensed by SCPL to some of the world’s largest hair science and pharmaceutical brands including Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Cipla, Dabur, Eris Lifesciences, and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, which we believe underscores the technology’s broad global commercial validation.
The revised agreement grants SCPL an extended five-year initial term with automatic annual renewal. The expanded territory set now covers India (existing), LATAM (Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago), Russia, and Australia and New Zealand. SCPL’s existing sublicense partnerships include Eris in India and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals across Asia and the Middle East, where Hair Enzyme Booster has been registered or is in active regulatory review across multiple markets including Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, UAE, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia — reflecting a well-established regional commercialization footprint that underpins the expanded agreement.
Photocil is a clinically validated, patented topical formulation developed to support the treatment of vitiligo, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. Hair Enzyme Booster is a first-of-its-kind, patented topical formulation shown in clinical studies to increase levels of the SULT1A1 (Sulfotransferase) enzyme, which is essential for converting Minoxidil into its active form, Minoxidil Sulfate, thereby promoting hair growth.
Dr. Glynn Wilson, CEO of Caring Brands, commented, “This expanded agreement reflects our confidence in SCPL’s commercial execution and our shared vision for bringing these clinically validated technologies to patients across high-growth international markets in order to improve our revenue stream.”
Arjun Khurana, Founder and Director of SanPellegrino Cosmetics Private Limited, said, “Over the past three years, we have built a strong foundation for both Photocil and Hair Enzyme Booster across India and Asia, supported by a robust network of leading pharmaceutical partners and a growing body of real-world clinical evidence. This expanded agreement positions us to bring these differentiated dermatology technologies to a significantly broader patient population across LATAM, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand.”
