We are very pleased to join forces with Expanscience to encourage the production and distribution of great videos and hope that many people will be inspired to help out."
For Jean-Paul Berthomé, CEO of Expanscience, "A brand has more than one dimension and a company as well. At Expanscience we are not just in the business of pharmaceuticals and dermo-cosmetics. Health and prevention are a priority for us.

We truly hope people around the world will contribute their ideas."
