Business model and affiliate platform
Nu Skin describes itself as being powered by a dynamic affiliate opportunity platform. In its public communications, the company refers to Brand Affiliates and Sales Leaders as part of its independent sales force in many markets, and sales employees and independent marketers in Mainland China. Customers purchase directly from the company, and members of the sales force can earn sales compensation based on defined qualification requirements. This structure supports Nu Skin’s direct-selling approach to distributing beauty and wellness products and device systems.
The company tracks several key groups in its core Nu Skin business: Customers, Paid Affiliates and Sales Leaders. Customers are individuals who purchase directly from the company over a given period, including members of the sales force. Paid Affiliates are Brand Affiliates and certain sales force members who earn sales compensation during a period. Sales Leaders are Brand Affiliates and other qualifying sales personnel who meet specific qualification requirements over time. These metrics help Nu Skin evaluate the performance of its affiliate-driven model across regions.
Product categories and device systems
Nu Skin’s offerings span beauty, personal care, nutrition and anti-aging. The company identifies three primary brand pillars within its portfolio:
- Nu Skin – personal care products associated with beauty and skincare.
- Pharmanex – nutrition products that support wellness and nutritional needs.
- ageLOC – anti-aging products, including an award-winning line of beauty and wellness device systems.
Within its device portfolio, Nu Skin highlights a range of at-home beauty and wellness device systems across global markets.

The company notes that not all devices are available in all markets, reflecting regional product strategies and regulatory considerations.
Nu Skin has also introduced Prysm iO, described as an intelligent nutritional wellness platform. This AI-powered device and associated app are designed to provide real-time insights into antioxidant health by tracking carotenoid levels through a non-invasive finger scan. The platform uses advanced skin-scanning technology and a proprietary AI-powered algorithm to generate a personalized Prysm Score, drawing on decades of carotenoid science and a large database of antioxidant scans from Nu Skin’s BioPhotonic Scanners. Prysm iO is integrated with Prysm-certified supplements within the company’s broader wellness ecosystem.
