HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 July 2025 – Angola’s two leading state-owned diamond institutions, ENDIAMA E.P. and SODIAM E.P., have formally announced their joint commitment to generic category marketing by joining the Natural Diamond Council (NDC) as contributing members, effective July 1, 2025.

As the third-largest global producer of natural diamonds and one of the most promising in terms of future deposit discoveries, Angola continues to strengthen its position as a responsible and influential player in the global diamond industry. This move reinforces the country’s commitment to transparency, sustainability, and consumer education on the unique value of natural diamonds.

The natural diamond sector remains a vital pillar of Angola’s socioeconomic development, supporting employment, infrastructure, education, and healthcare in producing regions.

“With Angola’s diamond industry on the rise, promoting the values and socioeconomic contributions of natural diamonds is a national priority,” stated Diamantino Azevedo, Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas. “By joining the Natural Diamond Council, Endiama and Sodiam are formalizing our dedication to a global strategy that highlights the unmatched benefits of natural diamonds to new generations of consumers.”

“We are thrilled to welcome ENDIAMA and SODIAM to the NDC at such a pivotal time for the industry,” said David Kellie, CEO of Natural Diamond Council. “Their membership will significantly enrich our collective voice in sharing the powerful story of natural diamonds rooted in positive impact, rarity, and authenticity.”

ENDIAMA and SODIAM will commence their commitment to global category marketing through the NDC with a contribution of $8M dedicated to the second half of 2025, supporting the most critical commercial season for the industry.

Current NDC member, De Beers, concurrently announced it will commit additional contribution to the NDC by matching ENDIAMA and SODIAM commitment of $8M for 2025.

De Beers Group remains committed to its sustainable initiative, “Building Forever,” ensuring that every natural diamond discovered has a lasting, positive impact on the local communities and environments from which they are sourced. This additional funding highlights De Beers Group’s belief that the sustainable development and marketing of natural diamonds should be a shared responsibility across the entire industry, rather than the sole burden of one company, further solidifying De Beers Group’s leadership within the sector.

As members of the Natural Diamond Council increase their investments to support the natural diamond industry, the Council will continue to enhance public awareness of the core values associated with these precious stones. Its goal is to provide a thorough understanding of the rarity, authenticity, and uniqueness of natural diamonds, helping consumers recognize the essential role the industry plays in global socio-economic development and ecological conservation.

ENDIAMA and SODIAM now join current NDC members: De Beers, Okavango Diamond Company, Petra Diamonds, Rio Tinto, and Murowa.Hashtag: #NDC #Endiama #Sodiam #DeBeersGroup #NaturalDiamonds

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 July 2025 – In a world flooded with skincare promises, most products barely scratch the surface. Wishpro launches its first patented Magnetic Infusion Technology (MIT) system, engineered to deliver visible skin transformation. Wishpro embraces the power of oil-based actives — an often-overlooked yet essential approach in our humid and changing climate. While many products focus on water-based formulas, Wishpro’s oil-based serums help strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention, and offer deeper nourishment without clogging pores. It’s a perfect match for modern skin needs.

The Future of Skin Health, Powered by Magnetic Infusion

At the heart of Wishpro is a revolutionary technology: Magnetic Infusion Technology (MIT). Unlike surface-level creams and serums, Wishpro uses electromagnetic pulses to gently open microchannels in the skin, allowing highly active ingredients to reach deeper layers, where real change happens.

Paired with precision-formulated, single-use serum capsules, this synergy of technology and formulation unlocks a new category of skin management: non-invasive, high-performance, and clinically proven.

More Than a Device: A Clinical-Grade Treatment

Wishpro delivers dermatologist-trusted results through four interchangeable treatment heads—Red Light, Blue Light, Microcurrent, and Exfoliation—customizable to meet evolving skin needs.

This red blood cell activation supercharges the skin’s ability to heal, regenerate, and absorb nutrients, turning every session into a transformation.

Smart Design, Built for Real Life

Wishpro’s signature donut-shaped capsule ensures direct and even contact with the skin, while its compact, ergonomic build makes it lightweight and effortless to use. Wishpro blends clinical-grade performance with everyday convenience each treatment takes only 15 minutes, making it the ideal solution for those who want fast results without disrupting their routine.

Targeted Serum Capsules, Powered by Science

Wishpro offers a suite of 13 RFID-enabled serum capsules, each formulated to treat specific concerns—from dullness and hyperpigmentation to acne, sensitivity, and visible aging.

Each capsule is:

• Clinically formulated with powerful active ingredients
• Individually sealed for hygiene and safety
• Designed for maximum absorption, activated by Wishpro’s infusion technology

More than just two capsules have demonstrated efficacy and clinical studies. A few highlights include:

• β-White (Brightening Capsule): A biomimetic peptide that reduces melanin production by up to 79%, with a 30% visible reduction in dark spots within 56 days.
• Biogomm’age (Peel Exfoliator Capsule): More than just an exfoliator, this capsule features biodegradable, non-irritant safe scrub technology, enriched with Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E. Clinically shown to deliver softer, smoother skin with minimal irritation, it is preferred by 79% of users over traditional scrubs.
• Neodermyl® (Neo Energy Capsule): Clinically proven to significantly increase collagen density (up to 7.6 times), improve skin firmness by up to 13 times, and visibly reduce wrinkle depth and volume by 15% in just 15–60 days. The hero ingredient, Neodermyl®, is a gold-standard anti-aging molecule with powerful skin rejuvenation effects.

The Wishpro Philosophy: Where Beauty Meets Innovation

Wishpro isn’t just another beauty gadget, it’s a mission to professionalize everyday skincare. The name itself blends “wish” with “professional,” reflecting a brand ethos rooted in real results, proven science, and smart design.

In a world that demands efficacy, hygiene, and time efficiency, Wishpro delivers all three, plus the power to adapt treatments to individual skin needs. It’s a future-ready system that empowers users to take control of their skin journey from the very first session.

Final Thought: Skincare That Doesn’t Just Work, It Works Smarter

Wishpro has redefined what’s possible in non-invasive skincare. Backed by clinical research, global dermatologists, and real users, it offers more than beauty – it offers confidence, credibility, and visible transformation.
