NuSkin Product Review The Shocking Truth

NuSkin is headquarters for anti-aging products, a Billion dollar and a successful Multi Level Marketing Company in over 42 Countries which has been in operation for 22 years. NuSkin started functioning in 1984 from Provo in Utah.

NuSkin ranks among financially stable companies with global revenues of $900 million annualy. Only eight network marketing companies have reached one billion dollars in sales and the rest seem to have short brilliant spurts of growth before crashing down and leaving people with out a pay check.

NuSkin deals in marketing of skin and hair care products through its three main divisions of Pharmanex, NuSkin, and Big Planet. Their projects claims developing its products from best natural elements and hence, their products are sure to yield excellent and positive results only.

NuSkin is able to develop many products through its scientific advances and experiments. They have a huge staff of scientist developing and testing new products.

"NuSkin claims their skin care products to be natural, but have you read the label on their products?"

When I discovered the Napca spray, recommended for use with the galvanic spa, contained many harsh chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive, endocrine and other numeorous illnesses, I was shocked.

I was already familiar with Propylene Glycol, which is an ingredient used in anti freeze. So I decided to take the other ingredients, listed on the Napca moisturizing spray and put all to the test, below are my findings researched at the Skin Deep database.

Stearic Acid, may be derived from animals. From PETA's Caring Consumer: Fat from cows and sheep and from dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters, etc. Most often refers to a fatty substance taken from the stomachs of pigs. Can be harsh, and irritating.

Propylene Glycol, A cosmetic form of mineral oil found in automatic brake and hydraulic fluid and industrial anti freeze.

In the skin and hair, propylene glycol works as a humescent, which causes retention of moisture content of skin or cosmetic products by preventing the escape of moisture or water. The Material Safety Data Sheet warns users to avoid skin contact with propylene glycol as this strong skin irritant can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

Tocopheryl Acetate, Human skin toxicant - strong evidence.

Sodium PCA, One or more animal studies show endocrine system disruption at high doses.

Bisabolol, One or more animal studies show respiratory effects at moderate doses (low dose studies may be unavailable for this ingredient)

Allantoin, This ingredient may be derived from animals. From PETA's Caring Consumer: Uric acid from cows, most mammals. Also in many plants (especially comfrey). In cosmetics (especially creams and lotions)

Retinyl Palmitate, One or more animal studies show reproductive effects at low doses One or more in vitro tests on mammalian cells show positive mutation results. One or more animal studies show brain and nervous system effects at high doses

Hyaluronic Acid, This ingredient may be derived from animals. From PETA's Caring Consumer: A protein found in umbilical cords and the fluids around the joints. Used in cosmetics. Alternatives: synthetic hyaluronic acid, plant oils.

Ceteareth-20, One or more animal studies show brain and nervous system effects at moderate doses One or more animal studies show skin irritation at low doses.

Butylene Gylcol, One or more animal studies show sense organ effects at moderate doses low dose studies may be unavailable for this ingredient.

Triethanolamine, Limited evidence of carcinogenicity, Int'l Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) - Carcinogens.

Disodium EDTA, One or more animal studies show brain and nervous system effects at low doses, RTECSŪ- Nippon Yakurigaku Zasshi 1956.

Phenoxyethanol, One or more in vitro tests non-mammalian cells show positive mutation results, RTECSŪ- Microbios 1980.

Methylparaben, One or more in vitro tests on mammalian cells show positive mutation results, RTECSŪ- Mutation Research 1979.

Butylparben, One or more studies show weak endocrine disruption, Byford JR, Shaw LE, Drew MG, Pope GS, Sauer MJ, Darbre PD, 2002.

Iron Oxides, Persistent, bioaccumulative in wildlife and humans, National Library of Medicine HazMap.

"There you have it natural, I don't think so."

There are so many companies and products, on the market that make unsubstantiated claims about their creams, lotions and devices. Claiming to be all natural,apparantly they think folks are so dumb they cannot read labels.

Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind.

Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety.

Distributors are told in the distributor policy to not mention the NuSkin name in their advertising.

I prefer getting loyal customers and out of those will come distributors who love the product and want to sell it. In summary, the emphasis of any company should be on product sales rather than the enrollment of new distributors.

There are many wonderful natural products out there, natural and much less pricey than Nuskin products.
As far as the Galvanic Spa goes "I love the Galvanic Spa" but that is as far as it goes.
