Köl Non-Gender Bath and Body Line Featured in Hit Cable Series 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'

New York City, NY (PRWEB) March 13, 2004 -- Episode 121 of Bravos smash series "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" [Queer Eye For The Skate Guy] prominently featured Köl bath and body products. The subject of the episode is John Z. a wildly handsome, internationally ranked athlete who has skated in the Olympics.

In the March 9th episode, grooming specialist Kyan Douglas brings the spa experience home, surprising John Z. with a set-up featuring candles, river rocks and the Köl line of destination based" bath and body products. In beautifully designed containers, the non-gender Köl products provide a fitting backdrop and mood for the tired athlete who wants to unwind and relax in an attractive but suitably masculine bath environment. Consider it democracy in bath products," says Andrew Brunger, CEO of KölDesign. Men long for bath products that they feel comfortable buying in a store and that look appropriate in their bathroom when friends come to visit. We offer terrific scents in simple and attractive packaging that both men and women appreciate."

Leaning back in a hot tub of Köls Curacao Foaming Bath, John Z. is clearly content as the mountain of bubbles sweep across his well-defined chest and shoulders. Köl offers four fragranced bath lines: Curacao", Picnic", Bethlehem" and El Maroc". The bath line includes foaming bath, bath soap and scented therapeutic sea salts.

Köls body line consists of 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.

In the March 9th episode Kyan Douglas and John Z. discuss shaving strategy. Kyan instructs John to use Köls facial scrub Coltibueno at least once a week before shaving to maintain the healthiest skin possible. He shows John how to put a little dry Coltibueno into his hand with a spot of warm water to mix up a natural, fragrant and effective exfoliant paste. KölDesign is headquartered in New York City.
