1984 — USE OF NATURAL HUMECTANTS (HYALURANIC ACID AND SODIUM PCA) RATHER THAN MINERAL OIL

Nu Skin was one of the first to introduce a line of products featuring natural humectants (hyaluranic acid and Sodium PCA) to keep your skin hydrated and plump, instead of using inferior and harmful ingredients, such as mineral oil, that can clog your pores.

Distributors were among the first to start educating consumers about peptides and the effects they can have on important action sites in the skin. Specifically, pro-collagen peptides are designed to send age-reversing signals to collagen-producing cells, promoting younger looking skin.

 

2001 — COLORLESS CAROTENOIDS

Nu Skin was one of the first to introduce a topical application of the powerful group of antioxidants, carotenoids, in a colorless form with the introduction of the Moisture Restore Day Protective Lotion. Until now, topical applications were bright orange in color and were difficult for the consumer to use.

 

2003 — THE PHARMANEX BIO-PHOTONIC SCANNER AND LIFEPAK

The combination of these products has proven to be disruptive technology. Nu Skin was the first and only company to offer consumers an exclusive way to measure how well their supplements were working. This changed the way consumers look at their health and quality of life.

 

“When we first launched LifePak by Pharmanex it was the first most comprehensive multi-vitamin and micronutrient anti-aging product. With the Bio-photonic Scanner, we were the first company back in 2003 with the ability to measure antioxidants in the body. Not just in a test tube, but in the body, and then be able to show our customers that after taking LifePak they have better overall antioxidant protection.”
