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 bad—even 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 NeedsIn 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:

• Nu Skin Enterprises Center for Anti-Aging Research (Provo, Utah)

• Pharmanex Beijing Clinical and Pharmacology Center

• Pharmanex Shanghai Research and Development Center

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 doesn’t 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 TestingNu 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 ProductsWhen it comes to the company’s 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 government-treatment protocols.
