JAPAN'S #1 CATALOG SKINCARE COMPANY
PRESENTS REFRESHING NEW DHC BODY CLEANSING SHEETS

DHC USA Inc. Unveils Botanical Cleansing Sheets

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 31, 2004—DHC, a Japanese skincare leader, adds Body Cleansing Sheets to its expanding line of products. Each sheet is made of soft yet durable 100% cotton and is presaturated with a gentle cleansing solution of cucumber, aloe, and invigorating perilla extract, a nutrient-rich botanical also known as shiso, or Japanese mint. Body Cleansing Sheets are conveniently sized and packaged in a resealable container that helps prevent them from drying. You can store these handy sheets almost anywhere, including in your purse, in your car, and at your bedside.

Body Cleansing Sheets will be available at a special price of $3.00 for 20 sheets through May 31, 2004, and thereafter at the regular price of $4.00.

“Body Cleansing Sheets travel well and are great for quick cleansing—my neck, hands, even my face—on humid summer days. Since the sheets contain no alcohol or harsh ingredients, I even use them on my newborn son without the worry of damaging his delicate skin,” says Akiko Klenk, Target Marketing Manager for DHC USA’s headquarters in San Francisco, California.

Body Cleansing Sheets are available by catalog or through DHC’s Web site. The products are also available at DHC kiosks, located in California at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco, Valley Fair Mall in San Jose, Westside Pavilion in Los Angeles, Glendale Galleria in Glendale, The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, and Arden Fair in Sacramento and at RAKUZA in New York City.

When ordering online or by phone, fax, or mail, customers can have their products delivered straight to their home or office. And with every purchase, customers may make four selections from a wide variety of free product samples, including our most popular product worldwide, Deep Cleansing Oil.

Body Cleansing Sheets ingredients: water, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, sodium cocoamphoacetate, perilla ocymoides leaf extract, cucumis sativus (cucumber) extract, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium citrate, and citric acid
