OPULUS Beauty Labs
The sale of assets is being conducted free and clear of all liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances in accordance with Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, creating a rare opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire valuable assets in clean and marketable condition.
About the Auction:
REA Innovations Inc., a Washington-based company known for its groundbreaking skincare products powered by patented crystalline matrix technology, including the Opulus Activator device, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2024. The court-appointed Trustee has since authorized a structured public auction to sell the company’s remaining intellectual property, proprietary technologies, and select tangible assets.
Fallingst Technologies LLC will serve as the sole facilitator of this process on behalf of the Trustee, managing bidder registration, due diligence, auction logistics, and post-auction coordination.
Assets Available for Purchase:
Assets to be sold may include, but are not limited to:
• Patents and patent applications, including proprietary cosmetic delivery technologies.
• Trademarks and brand-related intellectual property.
• Product formulations, trade secrets, and design assets.
• Select physical property and business records related to R&D.
• Select physical property incorporating the intellectual property developed by REA Innovations
The sale provides an opportunity for acquirers in beauty, wellness, consumer technology, or advanced materials sectors to obtain high-value assets backed by a history of product innovation and IP recognition.
