CROMA-PHARMA
27.1.2022 15:28:08 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Croma-Pharma (Croma), today announced that the decentralized procedure for its botulinum toxin to gain market authorization in Europe has been accomplished. This important step is the basis to complete Croma’s already comprehensive portfolio.
Croma’s botulinum toxin submission in Europe is based on the data of 3 completed randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trials that enrolled a total of >1000 subjects in Europe and the US. National phases to grant the market authorization across Europe are following now.
A game changer for Croma-Pharma and the aesthetic industry
By adding its own botulinum toxin to the already broad portfolio Croma catapults itself to a new level within the aesthetic industry.
Offering already a wide selection of HA fillers, PDO threads, PRP and scientific skincare products, the botulinum toxin was the missing piece to compete with world leaders in this sector.
“We are pleased to announce that our toxin has now accomplished the decentralized procedure in Europe and will continue with the market authorization in major European countries in the next months. With this, we will now be able to complete our portfolio to meet all the needs of our customers”, Managing Director Andreas Prinz points out.
Partnership with Hugel
Croma has licensed the product from the Korean toxin producer Hugel Inc. for Europe and established a joint venture company in 2018 with Hugel, Inc., in order to develop and commercialize Croma’s HA filler products together with Hugel’s botulinum toxin product in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Plasma One Launches to Herald a New Era of Stablecoin Banking19.6.2026 14:29:00 CEST | Press release
Plasma has today announced the launch of Plasma One, its flagship financial product designed to make digital dollars usable for everyday spending, sending and earning. Plasma One is designed to make stablecoins feel like money, only better - more accessible, reliable and efficient. For years, stablecoin adoption has been held back by a fragmented system and poor user experience. We have seen wallets in one place, exchanges in another, and costly off-ramps standing between digital dollars and daily life. Plasma One brings that experience together in a single app, giving users a simple way to spend, send and earn with stablecoins from one account with zero fees. Headquartered in London, the city that gave rise to Revolut, Wise and Monzo, Plasma is making a bigger bet, that the next generation of consumer banking will be built on stablecoin rails, not legacy banking infrastructure. Underneath Plasma One is the Plasma Network, Plasma’s own blockchain, purpose-built to move stablecoins inst
