- Rlief / Naturel Skin
In 2010, I started 2 new companies called Rlief Global LLC (www.Rlief.com) and Naturel Global LLC (www.NaturelSkin.com) companies. Rlief Global LLC is an all natural and organic pain relief cream ideal for relieving pain from joints, back, neck shoulder, arthritis and sports related injuries. For over 23 years, Rlief has been the chosen product for Eastern Europe’s top elite sports teams and world class athletes. I secured the worldwide rights to this incredible product and opened a pharmaceutical grade manufacturing plant to make our Rlief pain cream for world distribution.
Naturel Skin is an all natural Skin care products that were also available in Eastern Europe and used by many of the most beautiful women in the world. This product is being hailed as the miracle product for reducing age lines while smoothing the skin to a silky smooth finish.
