Non-gender bath product line called Köl chosen to be included in the official 76th Academy Awards® gift basket.

NEW YORK, NY. March 5 2004-- Newcomer KölDesign is a destination based bath line that has been hailed for it's high quality products and clean, innovative design. On store shelves since September 2003, Köl felt honored to have been included in the 76th Annual Academy Awards® official gift bags. 125 stars at the event received a Köl gift certificate for bath and body products. Each certificate was accompanied by a set of travel ready aluminum mini-vials of Köl scented therapeutic sea salts in a silver mesh bag.

Academy Award® gift baskets are one of the highlights of the awards ceremony – this year's gift basket valued at approximately $25,000. All Köl bath products invoke a destination and are named after a destination. "We want to bring the best of the world to people," says Sally Brunger the Chief Creative Officer of KölDesign. "Every corner of the globe has something unique to contribute." The Company offers four fragranced bath lines: "Curacao", "Picnic", "Bethlehem" and "El Maroc". Köl also offers Mix-Your-Own facials and scrubs. "Kolayan" is a Multani Mitti clay from India named after a region where the clay is found in pre-historic beds and is used by both men and women for deep facial cleansing. "Noordhoek" is a Kaolin clay that takes its name from a mine in South Africa that has been a source of the light facial cleanser for more than a century. "Coltibueno" is a facial scrub made with fennel, marjoram and sage, herbs that are common to the Tuscan region in Italy. "Arenal", a foot scrub named after the volcano found in Costa Rica, is a wonderful exfoliant for rough skin and lots of fun too. Made from volcanic clay and pumice, this scrub fizzes and churns like lava when water is added to it.

"This was quite a surprise to us," said Andrew Brunger, CEO of KölDesign. "When we received the call asking if we would include product in the gift bags, we couldn't have been happier. We always thought that products were chosen only for their name and prestige. To have been chosen because of our product quality and inspired packaging design was really quite a huge compliment and should be encouraging to other small companies out there doing something new and different as well."

Köl users include Oscar® presenters, Uma Thurman, Angelina Jolie, Owen Wilson, Liv Tyler, Jude Law, and Oscar® winners Sophia Coppola, Nicole Kidman, Julie Roberts and Tom Cruise.

Köl is scheduled to appear in Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" (March 9, 2004 - 10pm EST).
