Product Philosophy

Nu Skin

Nu Skin Ingredient Philosophy

Founded on the guiding principle, "All of the good,
none of the bad," Nu Skin has distinguished itself
from other companies by finding the best
ingredients possible and avoiding harmful fillers.
(We combine the best of science and nature.)
Since 1984, Nu Skin has produced the highest
quality personal care products with the winning
combination of natural ingredients and
innovative technology.

Combining Science and Nature

Nature provides healthy and
beneficial
ingredients for Nu Skin formulas,
and
science opens the door of
innovation.
Our philosophy is backed by Nu Skin's expert Advisory
Board composed of dermatologists and leading
scientists in many areas of expertise and a research
partnership with Stanford University School of
Medicine, Department of Dermatology.

All Natural vs. Synthetic

Some companies market and position their products as
"all natural." This can be misleading to consumers
because some companies claim their products are
100% natural, misusing the power of "all natural"
marketing, when their products actually contain
synthetics.
Also, it misinforms consumers by conveying
the bias that any natural ingredient is good and
and all synthetic ingredients are badeven though
many synthetic ingredients can be more
effective and safer than comparable
botanicals.

Natural vs. Synthetic

Synthetic simply means that the ingredients are not
derived directly from a plant but created in a
laboratory and manufactured as a raw material.
Whether natural or synthetic, ingredients in Nu Skin
products are selected and then tested to ensure the
best benefits, efficacy, and safety.

Medical Claims
If a caller asks if a certain product will
cure or prevent a disease, remember we
are not a medical company. Therefore,
always let callers know that none of
our products are meant to
diagnose, treat, cure or prevent
any type of disease or condition.
If the caller would like to talk about a condition,
disease or using one of our products to help with a
condition or disease, you should always state the
above and if possible, transfer them to Product
Support.

Basic and Advanced Skin

Care Needs

Changes in Skin Physiology Leading to Evidence of

Aging
Skin aging results from the deterioration of structures in the skin and
the slowing of healthy skin function in the following ways:

Dry skin
Improper skin care
Harsh weather conditions
UV radiation
Dull, rough complexion
Fine lines and deep wrinkles
Loss of firmness
Enlarged pores
Age spots

Basic Needs
The four essential steps for basic skin care are cleanse, tone,
protect, and hydrate.
1. Cleanse: Cleansing should be performed twice daily.
2. Tone: Toning fulfills a basic daily need by preparing the skin
to
receive the benefits from other products and should be
performed twice daily, after cleansing.
3. Protect: The protect step meets the skin's basic need for a
morning moisturizer with SPF to guard against harmful UV
rays
and environmental stressors.
4. Hydrate: Nighttime hydration should be applied once daily
in
the evening.

Advanced Needs
In addition to the basic daily needs, those with specific skin
concerns such as discoloration, acne, free radical damage,
and aging may need to incorporate some of the following
advanced steps:
1. Exfoliate: Exfoliation helps remove dead cell buildup for
smoother, more youthful looking skin and can stimulate the
cell
renewal process.
2. Mask: Masks deliver key ingredients to the skin, while
others
draw out impurities.
3. Treat: The treat step meets an essential advanced need of
the
skin when key components, functions, or structures within
the
skin are compromised, leading to signs of premature aging.

Pharmanex

History of Pharmanex
Dr. Michael Chang spent 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry.
Working with drug companies often resulted in less effective products
with more side effects. In addition, pharmaceutical companies require
that new products generate at least 100 million U.S. dollars in the first
year to justify the cost of development. He realized the tremendous
benefit of natural products created, refined, and substantiated through
a scientific pharmaceutical approach.
Dr. Chang left the pharmaceutical industry and started Pharmanex in
1994 to pursue his vision of delivering natural nutraceutical products
that could be scientifically proven to change people's lives. This
attracted the business expertise needed to build a successful
company. On October 18, 1998, Pharmanex was acquired by Nu Skin
Enterprises, a leading direct sales company.

Research Centers & Labs

We take pride in our state of the art laboratories and over 75 in-house
scientists networked with over 150 world-class scientists representing
world class institutions from across the globe. Pharmanex Research
Centers and Labs include:

Pharmanex 6S Quality
Process
Many years of testing and development by leading researchers at
Pharmanex and major U.S. and international universities have led
to breakthroughs in every aspect of natural product
development.
Safety and health benefits are necessary characteristics for a
health supplement that is of the highest quality. The 6S Process
is a standard that defines these capabilities.

Pharmanex 6S Quality
Process
1. Selection: Each ingredient Pharmanex selects for use has met
strict standards for efficacy, safety, and quality. After an ingredient
has been identified for use, Pharmanex scientists conduct
laboratory and clinical trials to confirm ingredient efficacy and
safety.
2. Sourcing: Once Pharmanex has selected a particular ingredient
samples are gathered from various areas of the world for testing in
our labs. Only quality ingredients that pass extensive Pharmanex
criteria for authenticity, efficacy, and safety are considered. We test
for density, moisture, heavy metals, pesticides, solvent residue, and
microbiology such as bacteria, E. coli, and more. If there is a failure
in any area, the entire shipment is rejected.

Pharmanex 6S Quality
Process
3. Structure: Some companies make supplements that are actually
missing the beneficial ingredients. Just because a product contains
a particular plant doesnt mean it contains the active ingredients
that offer real health benefits. We look for ingredients that contain
the most beneficial portion of the source.
4. Standardization: When creating any product it is important to be
consistent in order to end up with the same product each time.
Each capsule of a Pharmanex product consistently contains the
same amount of each active ingredient. This is achieved through
strict standardization processes that were developed through
chemical fingerprinting. The end product is ensured to have
consistent quality.

Pharmanex 6S Quality
Process
5. Safety: Through every step of development our scientists follow an
involved regimen to ensure all ingredients are safe, and an
ingredient can be rejected at any stage of the process. Safeguards
during each step of the product creation process guarantee the
safety of each Pharmanex product.

6. Substantiation: Scientific testing at the highest level takes place

for every product Pharmanex creates. Not only do we publish and
conduct our own studies, we build on research conducted by our
Scientific Advisory Board and other affiliates, including some of the
most respected minds in science.

Animal Testing
Nu Skin advocates and subscribes to both the ethical and humane
treatment of animals and the protection of human health and safety.
Nu Skin Products
Nu Skin does not test its cosmetic products on animals, nor do we
request others to test on our behalf, except when mandated by law and
regulatory agencies. We evaluate our products in clinical tests on human
volunteer panels to ensure the efficacy and safety of our products.
Pharmanex Products
When it comes to the companys nutritional products (Pharmanex), Nu
Skin adheres to the same philosophy. Nu Skin nutritional and herbal
products (Pharmanex) are consumed internally, and as a result some
government regulatory agencies may require animal research to support
human safety and product efficacy. In cases when it is necessary to
conduct animal studies, we make every effort to do so in an ethical and
humane manner and adhere to applicable and approved governmenttreatment protocols.
