("NEXGEL" or the "Company"), a leading provider of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogels for healthcare and consumer applications, today announced its preliminary financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 and provides a corporate update.

"Our revenue increased from $267,000 in first quarter of 2021 to $417,000 in the second quarter of 2021 primarily driven by an increase in custom label products with new customers, despite a portion of our legacy customers being affected by supply chain delays.
