Epoch’s 3 Key Pillars

 

 

PILLAR 1

Ethnobotany


For centuries, humans around the world have been tapping into the power of nature and including the plants native to them in all aspects of life. Inspired by this indigenous wisdom, the Epoch collection is proudly formulated with ethnobotanical ingredient extracts. Created in collaboration with Dr. Paul Cox, an award-winning ethnobotanist and Nu Skin Scientific Advisor, Epoch elevates your personal-care rituals while protecting native plant diversity.

 

Glacial Marine Mud*

Legend has it that Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest tried – and failed – to make pottery from the special glacial marine mud. To their surprise however, they soon noticed that the wet clay made their hands softer and more hydrated.

 

Baobab Body Butter

Africa is the inspiration behind the versatile ethnobotanical ingredient called Baobab Fruit. The humble yet powerful plant has a unique place in African myths, legends, and ways of life.

 

Sole Solution

Crushed Allspice Berry is an ethnobotanical ingredient traditionally used by indigenous people in the rainforests of Central America to bring dull, dry skin on the feet back to life.

PILLAR 3

Sustainability Efforts


As part of efforts to make all Nu Skin products more sustainable by 2030, the Epoch collection** has taken some significant steps. It's the first brand to introduce Eco-Pac tubes that help save 67 tons*** of plastic each year during production – that equals the weight of 10 elephants! Made of responsibly-sourced bio-resin, this choice of packaging results in a 79-95% reduction of carbon emissions per tube produced.****

The bio-resin in the Eco-Pac tubes is sugarcane-based which results in a much more sustainable production process than using traditional plastic and avoids burning fossil fuels. All sugarcane waste is converted to energy that powers the farms and sometimes even neighbouring cities!
