Carol Alt Reveals her Raw Beauty on HSN

-- Supermodel/Actress/Raw Food Expert Debuts New "RAW Essentials" Beauty Line Exclusively on HSN and hsn.com in December --

St. Petersburg, FL – November 17, 2008 — Interactive lifestyle network and retail destination HSN and Carol Alt, international supermodel, actress and “go-to expert” on raw nutrition/beauty, have joined together to transform the natural beauty category with the introduction of RAW Essentials by Carol Alt. The innovative new line of raw beauty products is scheduled to debut on HSN’s television network and www.hsn.com during a special preview December 11-12, leading to its official launch in January.

RAW Essentials goes beyond natural and organic with skin and body products that are completely raw yet still highly effective. Made with raw ingredients that are Certified Raw&#8482 by Carol Alt and free of synthetic preservatives, RAW Essentials is created through a special low-temperature manufacturing process that helps ensure the products retain the nature of the key ingredients that are essential for glowing, healthy-looking skin.

“HSN’s mission is to bring new discoveries to our customers and RAW Essentials is unlike anything available in the marketplace today,” said Michael Henry, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Beauty at HSN. “Carol’s passion for and commitment to raw living is unparalleled and her enduring beauty undeniable. There is a connection between the two and HSN gives Carol the platform to share her story and her secrets with millions of women.”

“I am passionate about using raw ingredients and living a completely raw lifestyle,” said Ms. Alt. “My philosophy is that it’s just as important to know about what we put on our bodies as well as what we put in our bodies. I created RAW Essentials for the healthy appearance and beauty of my own skin and I am thrilled at the opportunity to offer HSN viewers a fresh, raw alternative in beauty. I cannot wait for the launch in December on HSN.”
