Nu Skin Using New Anti-Aging Technology

11/03/2008

PROVO, Utah—Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE:NUS) has incorporated a new anti-aging technology, ageLOC™, into its skin care products; the technology works to slow the effects of enzymatic breakdown and visibly benefit skin texture and tone. According to the company, scientists from Nu Skin and Purdue University worked collaboratively on developing the ageLOC technology, which is designed to inhibit age-related NADH oxidase (arNOX), a free radical generator that increase in activity with age. The enzyme is found on external cell membranes, including in the epidermis, and higher levels of arNOX are associated with increased oxidative damage and breakdown of skin integrity.

Nu Skin conducted a consumer use study of its reformulated Galvanic Spa Facial Gels, reporting greater improvement in skin attributes compared to the original product. “We believe that by slowing an inherent source of aging in the epidermis, the skin benefits are visibly obvious,” said Helen Knaggs, Ph.D., vice president of Nu Skin global research and development. “A recent consumer use study demonstrates the visible benefits of this strategy.” Participants using the ageLOC formulation graded their skin texture 30 percent better than women using the original group; skin health results were 20 percent better, skin clarity improvement was 13 percent greater, and skin brightness was 11 percent higher.
