CCA  INDUSTRIES,  INC.  TO REPURCHASE AN  AGGREGATE  OF  500,000 SHARES.

East Rutherford, NJ:  OCTOBER 6, 2004 CCA Industries, Inc. (AMEX - CAW)

Reaffirming its commitments to enhance shareholders' value,  CCA
Industries, Inc. has agreed to use a portion of its record  free
cash flow to fund the purchase of an aggregate of 500,000 shares
of  common stock in a private transaction from its two founders,
David Edell and Ira W. Berman.  The purchase price of the shares
was  $8.99  per  share, the closing price on the American  Stock
Exchange  on October 4, 2004.  The closing price on  October  5,
2004 was $9.18 per share.

"The  purchase was the best use of the Company's free cash  flow
decreasing  the Company's outstanding shares from  7,406,086  to
6,906,086 thus increasing earnings per share, not affecting  the
market  float of its shares on the American Stock Exchange,  and
eliminating  the  payments of cash and stock  dividends  on  the
shares  being purchased." stated Stanley Kreitman, Director  and
Co-Manager of the Company's investment portfolio.

"Both  David  and  I started the Company in 1983  and  now  have
decided  to sell some of our shares privately without placing  a
burden on the market price of the Company's stock, in order  for
us to begin to diversify our personal estates.  We each continue
to  hold a significant position in the Company's stock."  stated
Ira W. Berman, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

CCA  recently announced its record nine month earnings  increase
to  $0.67, fully diluted from $0.59.  It also recently announced
the  introduction of a new Denise Austin Skin Care Line expected
to be on the shelves in January.

CCA  Industries, Inc. manufactures and markets health and beauty
aids,  each  under  its  individual brand  name.   The  products
include, principally, "PlusWhite" toothpastes and teeth whiteners,
"Sudden Change" anti-aging skin care   products  and  "Scar  Zone",
"Nutra  Nail"  nail  growth treatments, "Mega" Green Tea diet aids,
"Hair Off" hair removal and depilatories, "Bikini Zone" medicated
creme and gel for the bikini area, "Solar Sense" sun protection
products, and "Cherry Vanilla" Perfume.
