The Nu Skin Center for Dermatological Research at Stanford University School of Medicine

In an effort to discover advancements in skin care that will benefit everyone, Nu Skin has funded to establish the Nu Skin Center for Dermatological Research, at the Stanford University Medical School in 1998. Through this exciting venture, the center aids researchers in finding a cure for a disabling disease, Epidermdysis Bullosa (EB)* and conducts clinical trials and research involving existing and potential Nu Skin products. The knowledge we gain from this partnership will enhance our products well into the future.

* Epidermolysis Bullosa is an often-fatal disease that affects an estimated 100,000 Americans, mostly children. It occurs when skin cells don't generate the protein necessary to glue skin together. The resulting symptoms are blisters and open sores that don't heal and can cover as much as 75% of the body.
