PARAFFIN INTERNATIONAL WINS TOP INNOVATOR AWARD
gLOVE Treat Manufacturer Awarded $250,000 in Arizona Innovation
Challenge
PHOENIX (Dec. 23, 2015) –Paraffin International Inc. today announced that the company has been
named a winner in the Fall 2015 Arizona Innovation Challenge (AIC) for its innovative gLOVE
Treat®
, a revolutionary therapeutic paraffin wax treatment for hands and feet. The AIC, which is
powered by the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA), awards the most money in the United States
for a technology commercialization challenge – up to $250,000 per company for a total of $3 million
annually.
Companies may receive up to $250,000 to invest in their businesses if they achieve certain milestones
within a 12-month period. During the rigorous evaluation process, a panel of expert judges assess
each company’s marketing strategy, technology potential, management team and overall economic
impact. For the Fall 2015 AIC, over 130 applications were submitted by companies from five states
and numerous industries, including IT-Software, Bio and Life Sciences and Cleantech/Renewable
Energy.
“We are very excited to be named a winning innovation company by the ACA,” said Kevin Weber,
CEO of Paraffin International, the Arizona company that manufactures and markets the gLOVE Treat
brand. “We congratulate our fellow innovators who were named winners in this highly competitive
challenge. As we accept this generous award, we extend our gratitude to the ACA and look forward
to building our business while simultaneously bringing new job opportunities to Arizona.”

patented technology that allows the all-natural paraffin formula, which also contains lavender and
coconut oils, to penetrate the skin and provide exceptional moisture absorption in less than 15
minutes.
A staple in the beauty industry for nearly 50 years, traditional paraffin wax treatments have proven to
be cumbersome, messy and unsanitary. Medical offices, salons and devoted at-home users have kept
paraffin wax in reheatable pots, which require up to four hours to liquefy the wax, before ladling it
into plastic bags for individual customer use.
gLOVE Treat eliminates the hassle and mess with its sensible design. After just two minutes in a
conventional microwave, gLOVE Treat’s thermochromatic indicator alerts users when the paraffin
wax is at a safe temperature to use. Users wear the gloves or boots, secured with a fabric fastener, for
just 15 minutes, and the treatment is complete. Each pair of gLOVE Treat gloves and boots can be
used up to four times.
gLOVE Treat recently earned a coveted spot on O, The Oprah Magazine’s acclaimed O List, a hand-
selected compilation of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite consumer products and gift items, making its debut
in the January 2016 issue.
