Leading beauty and wellness company Nu Skin has been positively impacting people’s lives in Southeast Asia for the past quarter-century through groundbreaking research and development, technological innovations, and significant community efforts.

The success of its endeavors is reflected in the impressive list of awards and achievements it has chalked up over this period. Among other accolades, Nu Skin was named the world’s No. 1 brand for Beauty Device Systems for four consecutive years*, and Pharmanex was named No. 1 weight management and wellbeing brand in Malaysia and Singapore** by Euromonitor International.

Nu Skin’s success is also largely due to its extensive network of distributors who invest considerable time and effort into, and are dedicated to, promoting the brand, leading to them becoming successful entrepreneurs themselves.

They have not only built rewarding businesses for themselves over the past 25 years, but have helped others transform their lives, and raised the industry’s level of professionalism.

The company’s greatest impact, however, comes from its commitment to scientific innovation grounded in a rigorous R&D process supervised by a world-class team of scientists whose research and insights are dedicated to changing the way the world views aging.

Led by these insights, Nu Skin developed ageLOC proprietary scientific research to address the underlying causes of aging, such as gene expressions associated with the process of becoming older, rather than just its symptoms.

“Our knowledge and understanding of these learnings are applied to the development of proprietary, innovative, safe, and effective products. We are revolutionizing the nutrition and personal care industries with products that offer comprehensive anti-aging solutions,” says Dr Joseph Chang, Nu Skin’s Chief Scientific Officer.

Among its most recent innovative achievements is ageLOC Reset. Based on seven years of exclusive Nu Skin research, and powered by the company’s anthocyanin blend, this new product has shown that it can help improve one’s wellbeing and counteract the negative effects of a hectic lifestyle when combined with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep.

A Digital Ecosystem that Benefits Everyone ,Smart Beauty Devices, and App-Driven Customized Regimes

Being a company that prioritizes innovation, it is not surprising that Nu Skin is also leveraging digital technology to improve the efficiency of its processes, and better engage with its customers.

It recently launched EMPOWERME, a new digital ecosystem and strategy that recommends personalized beauty and wellness products through interactive and engaging digital experiences. In this way, Nu Skin can provide holistic solutions across the beauty and wellness spectrum, integrating its products into the customer experience.

These solutions include digital apps such as Nu Skin Vera, which enables customers to participate in AI-driven skincare consultations, monitor their skin’s improvement with selfies, and order products, among other features.

Nu Skin distributors also use Vera to help their customers find the best products through intuitive questionnaires, top-of-the-line facial scanning technology, and Intelligent Recommendations, an innovative AI that uses algorithms for product personalization. Following that, Nu Skin Stela tracks distributors’ sales volume and commissions and manages their client lists. 

“Through our digital ecosystem, we intend to attract, connect, and nurture our prospects while building a long-term relationship with our customers, who want personalized service, products, and solutions that address their needs. With EMPOWERME, we can connect them and affiliates through digital tools such as Intelligent Recommendations that helps create customized regimes and a seamless connection to social sharing communities,” says Dr Vicky Leevutinun, President of Nu Skin Southeast Asia and Pacific.

The first beauty device that incorporates IoT technology will be the ageLOC LumiSpa iO. This dual-action skincare device helps deliver skin renewal and deep cleansing benefits in a single action. Nu Skin researchers also evaluated visible results when the regime is combined with Inner Focus^TM Collagen Plus***.

Fostering a Culture of Good: Initiating Community Outreach Programs and Nurturing Future Generations

In addition to its business operations, Nu Skin aims to be an agent for positive change by caring for the planet, improving the lives of children, nourishing future generations, initiating community outreach programs, and investing in the global community.

Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, for example, works to improve children’s health, education, and economic circumstances, while Nu Skin Nourish the Children is a global initiative that distributes food to children suffering from malnutrition.

Furthermore, the foundation also supports the Southeast Asia Children’s Heart Fund (SEACHF), raising funds to cover the surgery fees for affected children, and partnering with local hospitals and healthcare professionals who are equally passionate about saving the lives of children born with congenital heart diseases in Southeast Asia. The brand’s distributors can choose to donate 1% of their monthly commissions towards SEACHF.

In terms of sustainability, Nu Skin is striving to improve its product packaging by 2030. The goal is to make everything recyclable, reusable, reduced or renewable. In 2021 alone, it saved 131 tons of plastic and over 34 tons of paper under this initiative. 

In a rapidly changing world, Nu Skin continues to evolve, adapt and emerge stronger. With the vision to become the world’s leading integrated beauty and wellness company, and a mission to be a global force for good, Nu Skin hopes to continue to change lives through its business and product innovations.

“Nu Skin will continue to transform generations across Southeast Asia and globally. We want to empower individuals to discover their best selves through our integrated beauty and wellness solutions and business opportunities,” maintains Dr Leevutinun.

There is a beauty and wonder that only comes from true precision. Whether manifested in extraordinary feats of horological engineering or within the infinite complexity of the human mind, the result is never less than breathtaking. There is, then, a natural synergy between the world’s finest mechanical watches and the wonder that is the human brain. It has, however, taken Richard Mille, one of the world’s leading Swiss watch marques, to recognize this resonance and duly support these two highly complementary celebrations of perfect precision.

 

This commitment is embodied equally in two of the company’s luxury tourbillon timepieces—the RM 74-01 and the RM 74-02—and its continuing support for the Paris Brain Institute, a research establishment acknowledged as a world leader when it comes to decoding the mysteries of the human mind. Naturally, Richard Mille is setting new standards for innovation and sustained excellence in both spheres of activity.

Combining pioneering technical expertise and future-facing functionality, the in-house automatic tourbillion timepieces embody unparalleled elegance while remaining the ultimate expression of precision watchmaking engineering. This sees them stay true to Richard Mille’s high-end horological heritage, while also representing a bold step forward for the science of Swiss watch manufacturing.

Timeless Timepieces, Future Classics

Although sharing the same ultra-skeletonized heart, the two models boast bold, highly individual crafting, including distinctly different casing materials and strikingly contrasting aesthetics. In many ways, they are best considered fraternal twins, albeit siblings with markedly different personalities.

For its part, the RM 74-01 comes clad in grey Cermet, a metal-ceramic composite renowned for its corrosion-resistant and scratch-proof qualities. Combining the lightness of titanium with a ceramic resilience, the material—the product of many years of joint development between Richard Mille and the IMI Group, a global leader in microtechnology—has a diamond-esque invulnerability, making it the optimum choice for the case of this signature model. Harmoniously complementing the case is a grade 5 titanium caseband, while the bridges and baseplate deliver an engagingly elegant and simpatico finish.

By contrast, the RM 74-02 comes enhanced with another proprietary Richard Mille material—Gold Carbon TPT®. This combination of a singular composite material (Carbon TPT®) and fine gold leaf was perfected only after many years of tireless development. With its robust and resilient properties matched only by its lightness, the contrast between the carbon matte black and the intermittent golden filigree bestows a truly bespoke haute horological air. Its singular silhouette also incorporates fine threads of 24-carat yellow gold, haloing a radiance that extends across its baseplate and red-gold caseband, while its polished pillars and crown are similarly encircled with matching material.

Beyond their distinct external aesthetic, the twin cores of both models are in-house automatic tourbillon calibres—the CRMT6 for the RM 74-01 and the CRMT5 for the RM 74-02. While the baseplate and bridges of the CRMT6 are both fashioned from PVD- and electro-plasma-treated grade 5 titanium, its CRMT5 counterpart favors the more traditional hues of yellow and red gold. Incorporating an impressive 50-hour power reserve, both movements are faultlessly driven by a variable-geometry rotor, ensuring each watch and its winding can be customized in line with the needs and preferences of its owner.

Characteristically slender, the contours of the RM 74-01 and RM 74-02 ably forefront their majestically positioned tourbillons, which are set at the six o’clock point. In a finely finessed finishing touch, the beveled festooned flange draws the eye to each watch’s movement, while an adept adornment of fine handcrafting further refines the already delicate features of these two timeless timepieces.

Philanthropically Minded, Cerebrally Focused

Given the deeply cerebral design work behind these two timepieces, it’s clear that Richard Mille owes a deep debt to the intricacies of the human mind. Recognizing this, the company’s strategic alliance with the Paris Brain Institute sees it committed to supporting the research body in its mission to establish a greater understanding of how the brain works, while helping fund its ongoing work to remedy many crippling neurological ailments.

Such philanthropic endeavors are nothing new to Richard Mille, which has a long history of supporting a variety of highly deserving causes, including The Rafael Nadal Foundation, YB Afraid and the Only Watch Charity Auction. The Paris Brain Institute, though, has struck a particular chord with the fine watchmaker, and has seen the brand’s eponymous founder keen to champion its future success.

Underlining the company’s long-term commitment to the center, he said, “Supporting an organization as advanced and promising as the Institute is a noble cause. By helping to facilitate its research, we are saving lives and improving the everyday existence of many people across the world.”

Through its financial assistance and its establishment of the Richard Mille Donors’ Club, the brand believes it can play a key role in sustaining the Institute and its 700 dedicated researchers. In this way, it seeks to bring hope to the one billion people around the world suffering from neurological conditions, many of whom lack access to proper treatment.

As with the company’s exquisite timepieces, there’s a pleasing symmetry in the mindfulness of Richard Mille’s philanthropic endeavors.
