Herborium Group, Inc., (PINKSHEETS: HBRM) www.herborium.com, a Botanical Therapeutics™ company, today announced that it is partnering with the retail division of the major Portal Technology provider, Adrecom, to distribute its unique botanical therapeutic, AcnEase®, for Acne and Rosacea (www.acnease.com) in Israel with expected $500,000 plus in revenues over next 36 months. This partnership furthers our efforts to become the worldwide leader in Natural Acne Treatment and Preventative Therapy.

Israel is a very attractive market for AcnEase. Its population of 24 million have maintained the highest per-capita income in the region (close to $29,000) and only 6.2% unemployment rate. In addition, according to the Euromonitor International, Israel maintains a 4% yearly growth, and 2009 and 2010 witnessed a continuous increase in sales of health supplements and nutraceuticals, "as awareness of its positive benefits increases among Israeli consumers." Health supplements in Israel represent a large potential for near-term growth as 30% of households in Israel consume natural medicinal products and market penetration rates are rising.

"The opportunity for AcnEase sales in Israel is considerable," commented Dr. Agnes Olszewski, Herborium's president and chief executive officer. "We anticipate meeting the regulatory requirements necessary to enter the market within the next three months. The partners will commit the funds necessary to meet those requirements as well as the associated marketing costs. AcnEase is especially attractive to Israeli consumers as it is not only efficacious and all natural, but also suitable for all types of skin pigmentation."

Herborium expects to enter the market by the end of the second quarter of 2011 and market projection for the first 12 months call for sales of between $100,000 to $150,000, with $300,000 projected within 24-36 months. The arrangement is not exclusive until sales performance milestones are met.

The new international distribution arrangements are but one example of Herborium's "Road-to-Market" Strategy calling for revenues projections of $7.5 Million, as detailed ("Road-to-Market" Strategy), and with an ultimate goal to eventually capturing 1% of the Global Natural and Alternative Treatments Market.
