Mixing Frozen Mojitos and Skincare

Scientists at Dermazone Solutions normally spend their days researching nanotechnology for “disruptive discoveries” to improve beauty, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.

But the $10 million company's newest discovery has nothing to do with Dermazone's mission. Researchers found a way to freeze alcohol, as in vodka, rum and tequila, to commercially produce frozen alcoholic desserts.

“We were told it couldn't be done. We thought why not?” says Deborah Duffey, Dermazone's president and chief product development officer.
