Nu Skin’s anti-aging science is based on exclusive access to more than 30 years of anti-aging gene expression research. Nu Skin scientists have discovered not only how to target the genetic sources of aging, but how to target multiple genes instead of single genes, to provide the best results.

Our science has the unique ability to identify, target, and reset Youth Gene Clusters—functional groups of genes that influence specific aspects of aging. Our discoveries have yielded worldwide media attention with numerous patents, posters, presentations, and published articles.

Nu Skin science is centered around five attributes that give the company its competitive advantage—what we call THE NU SKIN ANTI-AGING ADVANTAGE.
1. Differentiated anti-aging products:
With our breakthrough genetic approach to anti-aging science, we are developing an entirely new class of anti-aging products—both for the outside and inside of our bodies.
 
2. Identify Youth Gene Clusters:
Using our anti-aging science, we are able to identify groups of genes that influence how we age—what we call Youth Gene Clusters. We then target these Youth Gene Clusters to promote a more youthful gene expression pattern to help you look and feel younger longer.
 
3. Exclusive and patented science:
With our exclusive anti-aging science, we own 26 patents (or patents pending) to protect our products, innovations, and trade secrets.
 
4. 30 years of proprietary research:
The science to reach our level of understanding took more than 30 years to develop. We have a world-class team of scientists, including our in-house scientists and our Anti-Aging Scientific Advisory Board members, whose anti-aging research and insights have changed the understanding of how and why we age.
 
5. Breakthrough genetic approach to anti-aging science:
Nu Skin has taken the science of anti-aging to a new level. In collaboration with some of the world’s leading anti-aging researchers, Nu Skin scientists have identified key groups of genes that influence how we age—what we call Youth Gene Clusters. Nu Skin’s anti-aging science targets these Youth Gene Clusters to develop products that help you look and feel younger longer.
