Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

otherwise expressly provided for by a statute of the State of Texas.

     23.1   Consent of Ernst & Young, LLP, Independent Auditors

     23.2   Consent of Corbin & Wertz, Independent Auditors

     23.3   Consent of Counsel (contained in Exhibit 5)
 
Item 9.     Undertakings.

     (a)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
     material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
     previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
     to such information in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
     of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
     of the offering.

          (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
     the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
     employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
     registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
     relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
     securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona fide
     offering thereof.

          (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
     controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
     or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
     event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
     the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
     officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
     of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
     registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
     settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
     jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
     public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.

Re:  Form S-8 Registration of Shares Reserved Pursuant to Consulting Agreement
dated November 16, 1998 between Biozhem Cosmeceuticals, Inc. and International
Media Solutions, Inc. (the "Consulting Agreement")

Gentlemen:

In connection with the proposed registration of 400,000 shares of Common Stock,
$.001 par value, of Biozhem Cosmeceuticals, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), by the Company on Form S-8 for issuance pursuant to the Consulting
Agreement, we have examined the following:

1.  The Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date;

2.  The Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date;

3.  Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to the
adoption of the Consulting Agreement;

4.  The Consulting Agreement; and

5.  The Registration Statement on Form S-8 and the exhibits thereto to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Based upon such examination and upon examination of such other documents and
records as we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that:

(a)  The Company has been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas
and is a validly organized and existing corporation.

(b)  The shares of Common Stock to be offered by the Company pursuant to the
Consulting Agreement, when issued and paid for upon the terms and in the manner
set forth in the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement on Form S-8.


Very truly yours,


/S/ Robert D. Remy
