e n f u s e l l e 1 ® Skin Care Technical Bulletin INTRODUCTION C H A N G I NG the fac e of skin c ar E Time takes its toll on skin. But the combined impact of heightened levels of ultraviolet light and industrial pollutants can trigger multiple free radical reactions capable of visibly aging your skin much faster than Nature ever intended. The result is accelerated aging. TM For generations, Shaklee has led the scientific world in nutrition. Today, researchers agree that the same nutrients which protect your health also play a significant role in the appearance of your skin. Now Shaklee’s unparalleled expertise has been applied to skin care. Extensive clinical tests have demonstrated conclusively that the Enfuselle skin care system offers complete protection against the visible effects of both time and the environment. Prove it to yourself, as Enfuselle helps your skin recapture the firm and glowing, unlined and unworried look of youth.

A cushion of fat above the facial muscles pads the bony structure of the face to create rounded contours, while collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layers of the skin provide firmness and resilience. When we’re young, our skin has the ability to resist and repair most of the damage caused by sun exposure and free radicals that attack skin cells and alter cells’ genetic material. But this damage is cumulative, and even in our 20s, our skin begins to show the signs of “battle fatigue.” • Hair • Surface layer of dead cells (strateum corneum) • Epidermis • Dermis • Collagen and elastin fibers • Hypodermis • Subcutaneous fat • Sebaceous gland • Sweat gland 2 E n f u s e l l e # 1 — I n t ro d u c t i o n T N I 8 A L 9 K 10 A L 11 I 12 5 4 3 2 1 0 Think of your skin cells as grapes. When new cells are produced deep in the living layers, the “grapes” are firm and plump, filled with moisture. But as these cells rise to the surface, they gradually lose their moisture, much like grapes drying in the sun to become raisins. In the topmost layer, the skin cells are dead and have become completely dry and flattened out, rather like a raisin that has been run over by a steamroller! In healthy young skin, the loss of natural moisture from the living cells is relatively slow, keeping them soft and unwrinkled even as they rise to the surface. In the dermis, a structural network of collagen and elastin keeps skin taut, reducing the opportunity for wrinkles. In addition, a fatty layer under the dermis creates smooth and rounded surfaces, while the underlying muscles support the entire facial structure. When the passage of time is combined with environmental damage, changes to the structure of each of the facial components can cause the wrinkling, sagging, and lack of firmness that add up to accelerated aging. T 6 Y 7 I The chemical makeup of skin naturally leans to the acidic side of the scale because it produces a protective layer called the “acid mantle” which wards off unfriendly bacteria and seals in moisture. Lemon Juice Soap and detergents are alkaline, which means they can be extremely drying and potentially damaging to the skin’s natural, healthy pH. 13 D The continuous shedding of the surface skin layer is the end result of healthy skin growth. As millions of new skin cells push up from the base of the epidermis every day, the outermost cells flake off. This continuous process of renewal is crucial to maintaining the skin’s protective barrier function. Exfoliation — which assists this natural shedding process — can also help keep skin healthier by reducing the amount of time skin cells damaged by ultraviolet light or free radicals linger on the skin’s surface. Lye I When natural skin moisture and sebum production are in healthy balance, a hydrolipid (waterand-oil) film is formed over the skin’s surface, helping to keep skin soft, smooth, and supple. This oil/moisture balance also maintains a slightly acidic pH, which helps discourage harmful bacterial growth. pH is the scale used to measure acidity and alkalinity. pH is the hydrogen (+) ion concentration of a solution — “p” stands for the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. The pH of a solution is measured on a scale of 14, with a truly neutral solution, such as water, at 7. Acid is less than 7 (lemon juice = 2.3), while alkaline is more than 7 (lye = 13). C In fact, skin is about 20% water. This moisture is critical to healthy skin. It helps keep surface cells supple, plump, firm, and youthful looking. The ability of skin cells to properly regulate the loss of moisture from the skin is a key indicator of skin health. Another essential for optimum skin health and youthful appearance is sebum — the blend of natural oils produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands. 14 WHAT IS pH? A Skin is the body’s largest and most vulnerable organ. Quite literally, it is the dividing line between you and the outside world. Your skin is the body’s primary line of defense against external injury, ultraviolet light, microorganisms, and environmental pollutants. Your skin also helps regulate body temperature and moisture loss. Y NORMAL FUNCTION O F H E A LT H Y, Y O U N G S K I N CHALLENGES TO SKIN’S H E A LT H A N D A P P E A R A N C E Our skin ages in two ways: through the accumulated physical changes normally associated with the passage of time (chronological aging), and through the accumulated damage caused by exposure to environmental pollutants and UV radiation (accelerated aging): To prove this to yourself, take a look at the skin on some part of your body that rarely sees the light of day. Compared to your face or hands, skin that hasn’t been exposed to the elements will remain clear and rosy, smooth and unwrinkled, soft and resilient. The dry, wrinkled and papery or the deeply wrinkled, discolored and leathery look is the result of accelerated aging. chronological aging Decade by decade, our skin records the passage of time: 20 TO 30 Skin changes and damage may begin to accumulate, but don’t show yet. Your twenties could be considered “the age of prevention,” when most skin care issues start with lack of care. Forgetting to wash your face before bed can lead to clogged pores, whiteheads and CHRONOLOGICAL AGING • Epidermis thins • Cell turnover slows blackheads. Squinting in the sun and not using moisturizers can contribute to fine dry lines • Moisture retention decreases around the eyes. Too little sleep, too much alcohol, and smoking can dull skin. Getting a serious • Loss of pigmentation creates age spots sunburn now can set the stage for skin cancers of all types, including melanoma. • Reduction in collagen creates bags and sags 30 TO 40 The decade of laugh lines, crow’s feet, and the beginning of a double-chin. The underlying factor is the gradual breaking down of skin-firming collagen and elastin. As a result, skin ACCELERATED AGING becomes less elastic and begins to lose its firm, supple texture. The sebaceous glands usually • Iron in tap water creates surface damage become less active and produce less sebum. Poorly lubricated skin may not retain moisture as • Free radicals impair cell integrity efficiently, so our skin may become more dry. Cell turnover rate is slowing; dead cells on the • Enzymes triggered by free radicals break down collagen skin’s surface begin to dull the complexion. Even in your 30’s, brown spots and uneven color blotches can appear on your skin. 40 TO 50 • Sun-damaged cells can initiate pre-cancerous changes in cells By 50, cell turnover takes twice as long as it did at age 20. As old skin cells stay on the surface longer, they mask natural skin color and radiance, looking dull and dry and accentuating the bags, sags, lines and wrinkles created by underlying loss of collagen and elastin. This loss of underlying structure also contributes to thinning of the epidermis, which can cause skin to look crepey or papery, and lead to drooping eyelids or neck wattles. Pigmentation in surface skin levels becomes uneven, creating shadows, blotches, dark circles under eyes, and age spots on the face and the back of hands. 50 TO 60 Your face is now mature. The fat padding beneath the skin has diminished so your face shows more of its angles and hollows. As muscle fibers weaken, the fat that remains under the eyes forms bags. Facial bones begin to shrink, causing all-around sagging. Oil production decreases after menopause, resulting in significant dryness. As cell turnover rate continues to slow, skin becomes thinner and more prone to wrinkling and drooping. Years of sun exposure or hormonal changes may lead to patchiness or unevenness in skin tone. 60+ Poor circulation — a common problem at this stage of life — can help rob your skin of its rosy glow. Increasingly thinner and drier skin is also more vulnerable to environmental stressors and can become more sensitive and more prone to irritation. E n f u s e l l e # 1 — I n t ro d u c t i o n 3 a c c e l e r at e d aging ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION Ultraviolet rays are the element of sunlight that most seriously affect the skin and can even cause permanent damage. When UVA radiation reaches the skin, it penetrates the epidermis, disrupting and damaging the underlying dermal collagen and elastin structure which support the youthful firmness and elasticity of skin. This damage causes a photoaging effect on the skin’s surface texture and appearance, contributing to premature wrinkling. UVB rays don’t penetrate as deeply, but they are the cause of sunburn and are now believed to be a major contributing factor in solarinduced skin cancer. The earth’s stratospheric ozone layer limits the amount of UV radiation that reaches us. Recently, however, scientists warn that the earth’s protective ozone layer is being depleted, allowing higher levels of UV radiation to reach the earth’s surface…and your skin. The annual average amount of UVB radiation has been steadily increasing by 3 to 5% per decade…and it is estimated that each 1% increase in UV could mean a 2% increase in skin cancer. These statistics partly reflect the fact that we enjoy suntanning. However, studies show that most sun exposure takes place during such ordinary activities as walking to your car. Even on cloudy days, the sun’s rays can still cause damage. What’s more, we don’t have to be standing in the sun for UV radiation to reach our skin. Ambient UVA light even reaches us indoors. It shines through glass or plastic windows and skylights. It’s reflected inside our homes, offices, and public buildings. Computer screens, halogen, and fluorescent lights emit low levels of UVA radiation, adding to our cumulative UVA exposure day after day, year after year. FREE RADICAL DAMAGE When oxygen molecules lose one or more electrons they become unstable particles known as free radicals. Once one free radical is created, it seeks to restore molecular balance by taking an electron from another molecule, creating a new free radical in the process. As each newly generated free radical looks for a replacement electron, a chain reaction is triggered, creating many different forms of free radicals that each possess different skin-damaging potential (see sidebar). Modern life has increased our exposure to free radicals to an incredible degree. For example, if you are standing on a street corner when a bus or truck billowing fumes goes by, you may be exposed to more exhaust pollutants in that single moment than your grandparents were in their entire lifetimes. Airplanes also churn out engine exhaust. Industrial and agricultural pollutants are carried on every breeze; materials inside buildings emit chemical fumes. Tobacco smoke is everywhere. Even the tap water you use to wash your face can trigger damaging free radical reactions when it touches your skin. In the skin, free radical damage can weaken and destroy the fibroblasts that help provide structure to the skin, and can impair the ability of skin cells to perform basic functions as well as interfere with their natural immune system. Free radicals also stimulate the production of enzymes which destroy skin collagen. The extremely damaging hydroxyl radical is generated when the iron in tap water reacts with hydrogen peroxide naturally found in skin tissues. If this chain of damaging oxidation isn’t broken, it can significantly compromise the integrity of your living cells, attacking and damaging not only the existing cell and its functions, but even damaging the genetic material that are responsible for the production of future cells. 4 E n f u s e l l e # 1 — I n t ro d u c t i o n ANATOMY OF A FREE RADICAL CHAIN REACTION When pollutants and UV radiation interact with the naturally occurring elements of your skin — such as polyunsaturated fatty acids and hydrogen peroxide — a complex series of damaging reactions occurs which can be written as a chemical equation. For example, when oxygen reacts with unsaturated molecules in skin cell membranes, one form of free radical is generated. That same molecule also reacts to UV radiation, generating another form of free radical. And when sunlight hits ozone it creates a whole series of highly reactive molecules, each of which generates different forms of free radicals when they attack the oils in your skin. Among the damaging free radical molecules created in this complicated process are: • Superoxides • Hydroxyl radicals • singlet or “excited” oxygen No single neutralizing agent can interrupt all the pieces of this complex equation…and if even one free radical remains in its unstable state, the entire damaging chain reaction can be reinitiated, over and over again. OPTIMIZING SKIN’S H E A LT H A N D A P P E A R A N C E There are the problems we are born with…and then there are those we create for ourselves. When it comes to determining things like sun sensitivity and skin type, our genes make a lot of decisions for us. But DNA doesn’t hold all the cards. Skin care research suggests that even how our skin behaves — acting more oily or more dry, for example — may stem more from what we’re DOING to our skin than from its internal programming. Working too hard to moisturize dry skin with heavy occlusive creams can cause clogged pores and trigger irritation. On the other hand, scrubbing oily skin with stripping soaps can provoke sebaceous glands to go into overdrive and create even more of a slick. You have the power to change any number of habits — from that fondness for greasy potato chips to the way you clean your face — that will affect the look of your skin. Even the way you feel about yourself can have an impact on your complexion. Here are some tips that can help you consistently enjoy “good face” days: Exercise. Regular exercise increases circulation and aids in the distribution of nutrients and oxygen to the skin. It helps boost your body’s immune system and stimulates the body’s detoxifying processes. Sweating also helps flush grime from your skin. At the very least, you’ll have a healthy glow. Smoking. In a word, quit. Smoking slows circulation and destroys internal reserves of nutrients known to be antioxidants, such as vitamin C. The negative impact of smoking on the skin is well established — doctors will refer to “smoker’s pallor.” Even second-hand smoke should be avoided — tobacco smoke is one of the major sources of free radicals (along with air pollution from car exhaust and UV exposure) that contribute to premature aging. Water. Drink at least 8 glasses of fresh, clean water each day to boost your body’s natural reserves of moisture and support your skin’s natural oil/moisture barrier function. Note: Caffeinated beverages (not just coffee and tea, but many soft drinks, as well) can contribute to dehydration. Alcohol. Heavy drinking can cause the constant dilation of tiny veins in the face, which can lead to a permanent network of purplish-red capillaries, especially across the nose and cheeks. Sleep. Like all the major organs of your body, the skin repairs itself while you’re sleeping. A normal sleep cycle also helps you maintain a normal hormonal cycle, which is closely tied to healthy skin. On top of that, when you are rested you are less likely to experience stress, which can have a negative effect on skin. Diet. Eat a balanced diet that is low in fat and high in fiber and abundant in a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Sunbathing. Another “don’t,” plain and simple. UV exposure is the number one cause of accelerated aging. Protect yourself from incidental sun exposure by using a sunscreen every day, and limit the time you spend outside during the worst hours for the sun’s “burning” rays. Above all, don’t use a tanning bed. Nutritional Support. By supplementing the body’s dietary supplies of nutrients necessary for normal, healthy skin function, you can support your skin’s natural ability to repair its appearance. Nourishing and Protective Skin Care. Science has shown that topical application of certain vitamins, minerals, and other skin-nourishers can support your skin’s natural antioxidant defenses against skin damage and actually boost your skin’s natural ability to produce structural skin components such as collagen and elastin. In addition, the regular use of sunscreens over time may reduce the chance of skin damage, some types of skin cancer, and other harmful effects due to the sun. E n f u s e l l e # 1 — I n t ro d u c t i o n 5 HOW DOES THE ENFUSELLE SKIN CARE SYSTEM WORK? For generations, Shaklee has led the scientific world in nutrition. Today, researchers agree that the same nutrients which protect your health also play a vital role in the appearance of your skin. Now Shaklee’s unparalleled expertise has been applied to skin care. The result is a simple system that nourishes the skin to comprehensively block and reverse the visible signs of aging such as lines, wrinkles, skin discoloration, and dull, dry, flaky skin. At the heart of the revolutionary Enfuselle skin care system is Vital Repair+, a patent blend of signature ingredients in a synergistic complex designed to counterbalance every potential free radical reaction that can contribute to premature aging. (U.S. Patant No. 6,036,946) See sidebar for complete details on this remarkable complex! In addition to providing the positive benefits of the most state-of-the-art nourishing and protective skin care ingredients, each Enfuselle product has been carefully formulated and repeatedly tested to exclude any ingredients shown to irritate the skin or otherwise produce negative results. All Enfuselle products are: • Nutrient based • Clinically proven • Dermatologist-tested • Always hypoallergenic • Never tested on animals • pH balanced • Formulated without animal products or by-products • Formulated without dyes or mineral oil See page 7 “Why Not?” for more about what we left out of the Enfuselle system! WHAT IS VITAL REPAIR+® COMPLEX? Many skin care products on the market today claim to nourish and protect the skin with one or more antioxidant nutrients. Unfortunately, these ingredients only address certain parts of the complex equation of free radical damage on the surface of the skin. What’s more, these ingredients may be present at very low levels or in forms which may not be absorbed and utilized by your skin. The seven signature ingredients in triplepatented Vital Repair+ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946, 6,174,519 and 6,235,272) confer seven extraordinary benefits which have been clinically proven to work together to sustain the look of healthy, youthful skin and reverse the visible signs of aging: • Vitamin E — The front line of your skin’s natural antioxidant self-defense system. Promotes visibly youthful softness and suppleness. • Vitamin C — Works two ways to firm and strengthen skin — #1: supports your skin’s natural defenses against UV-induced collagen breakdown. #2: Research also suggests that topically applied vitamin C may actually boost skin’s ability to produce new collagen and elastin. Vital Repair+ features a highly derma-available form of pure vitamin C to optimize absorption and utilization. • Vitamin A — Increases skin’s ability to retain moisture; helps minimize the appearance of sun damage. • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) — Dramatically increases skin’s natural ability to repair its appearance. • Grape Seed Extract — Powerful botanical antioxidant blocks enzymes which break down collagen. Supports skin’s ability to recapture firmer-looking contours. • Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) — Neutralizes the free radicals that visibly age skin the fastest. • Beta Glucan — Exceptionally soothing to naturally and gently minimize environmental irritation. Triple-patented Vital Repair+ actually breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage to defend against accelerated aging. (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946, 6,174,519 and 6,235,272) 6 E n f u s e l l e # 1 — I n t ro d u c t i o n INGREDIENTS YOU WON’T FIND IN ENFUSELLE PRODUCTS! Why not? NO OIL To understand the role of oil in skin care requires just a bit of history. From ancient times up until the quite recent past, the only way to help skin retain moisture was by using occlusive ingredients that literally coated the skin and prevented moisture from escaping. Unfortunately, these same moisture-sealants (most often oils, including mineral oil and vegetable oils — the same ones you use in cooking) also sealed up pores, causing the back-up of natural oils and dead skin cells that scientists call comedones — most people refer to these small bumps as whiteheads or blackheads. In addition, oils that seal moisture in also trap toxins the skin needs to eliminate and keep oxygen out, preventing skin’s natural respiration. Instead of smothering the skin with occlusive oils, Enfuselle products use only state-of-the-art nourishing ingredients that support the skin’s healthy ability to retain its own natural moisture. NO ISOPROPYL PALMITATE Another ingredient virtually guaranteed to induce comedogenicity. NO SOAP Soap, by definition, has a very alkaline pH — usually between 10 and 12 (on a scale of 1 to 14). As a result, soaps are extremely drying to the skin. Because soap is not pH-balanced and disrupts the skin’s natural lipid barrier, it increases trans-epidermal moisture loss. Particularly for dry skin, soap can be a disaster. In addition, although soap can be made from vegetable fats (castille soap), many soaps are animal-derived. Instead of soap, Enfuselle cleansers utilize carefully chosen, pH-balanced ingredients which cleanse gently, without stripping skin of its precious natural emollients. NO PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE, OR SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE Because some people find these ingredients objectionable, Shaklee has chosen to leave them out of Enfuselle products. NO DYES They don’t add to the functionality of a product…and many dyes are common skin irritants. NO DEA The safety of DEA (diethanolamine), a commonly used lathering or foaming agent, has been questioned by the NTP (National Toxicology Program — a program of the National Institute of Health). Although scientific evidence regarding this ingredient is still lacking, Shaklee has chosen to avoid the use of DEA and DEA salts in Enfuselle products. NO IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, DIAZOLIDINYL UREA, OR QUATERNIUM 15 What do these tongue-twisters have in common? They are all commonly-used preservatives which decompose in low pH environments and release formaldehyde. In the jar, this property means these “formaldehyde donor” chemicals effectively kill bacteria and prevent contamination. However, when this reaction occurs on the skin, it can cause reactions in people with formaldehyde sensitivities. It is worth noting that this sensitivity appears to be on the rise — one theory is that constant and increased exposure to environmental formaldehyde (“out-gassed” from upholstery, carpets, wallboard, floor tiles, plastics, etc.) may provoke an autoimmune response to the chemical. Enfuselle’s unique patent-pending preservative system has been globally tested on people known to be sensitive to preservative agents in order to eliminate reactive ingredients. NO ANIMAL-DERIVED INGREDIENTS In keeping with Shaklee’s “crueltyfree” philosophy, no products are tested on animals, and no ingredients derived from slaughterhouse byproducts are used. It’s important to note that many beneficial skin care ingredients — such as glycerin and fatty acid compounds — may be derived from vegetable sources… and that’s the humane choice that Shaklee makes! NO AVOBENZONE A “new kid on the block” sunscreen ingredient, avobenzone currently does not meet Shaklee’s strict standards for product stability — in fact, avobenzone has shown a disturbing tendency to decompose when exposed to UV light…particularly unfortunate for a sunscreen! Enfuselle’s sunscreen products are patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) because they combine a low level of sunscreen agentswith the patented Vital Repair+® complex (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,846) to achieve the desired SPF to provide reliable, full protection against UV damage. ONLY HYPOALLERGENIC FRAGRANCES The few Enfuselle products which benefited from including a light fragrance have been extensively tested on an international panel of sensitive people under the supervision of a dermatologist. The Enfuselle products which contain hypoallergenic fragrances are: • • • • • • • Purifying Cleansing Gel Hydrating Cleansing Lotion Gentle Action Cleansing Bar Purifying Toner Hydrating Toner Balancing Moisturizer Hydrating Moisturizer E n f u s e l l e # 1 — I n t ro d u c t i o n 7 3 MINUTES AND 3 SIMPLE STEPS T O H E A LT H I E R , Y O U N G E R - L O O K I N G S K I N STEP 1: CLEANSE Morning and Evening Dirt, dead cells, environmental pollutants, and excess oil can make it difficult for your skin to breathe. But over-enthusiastic cleansers may strip your skin of the natural emollients it needs to stay soft and supple. Enfuselle cleansers defend your skin against environmental pollutants while sustaining its natural, healthy moisture balance. Each cleanser is soap-free, oil-free, and enriched with botanicals and nutrients to gently lift and rinse away impurities and restore moisture, so your skin feels soothed and renewed. STEP 2: NEUTRALIZE Morning and Evening The water that flows from your tap activates cleansers, penetrates pores, and rinses dirt and grime down the drain. But it also leaves a legacy on your skin in the form of iron, a potent pro-oxidant that can trigger the formation of free radicals which can visibly damage skin’s surface. Enfuselle triple-action toners effectively “turn off” the potential for this reaction as they refresh and invigorate skin. STEP 3: REPAIR Three essential treatments: Morning Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15 offers a 5-in-1 solution for all your skin’s daytime needs. Evening C+E Repair P.M.® offers patend-pending delivery of dermaavailable nutrients to visibly firm skin without irritation. Enfuselle cleansers have been CLINICALLY PROVEN to gently clear dirt, makeup, and oily buildup while balancing and brightening skin tone. ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS TO MEET INDIVIDUAL SKIN CARE NEEDS OPTIONAL MOISTURE For those occasions when your skin is exceptionally dry, these powerful moisturizing formulas feature intensive levels of patented Vital Repair+®. (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) Enfuselle toners have been CLINICALLY PROVEN to neutralize the free radicals generated when the iron in tap water contacts skin. Enfuselle treatments have been CLINICALLY PROVEN to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, support your skin’s natural defenses against UV-induced collagen breakdown, and prevent future photoaging. Twice a day: Eye Treatment Wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, and dull, dry, flaky skin are the result of three facets of accelerated aging: 1) surface damage from free radical-induced reactions; 2) excessive loss of natural moisture from damaged skin; and 3) the breakdown of the skin’s collagen-elastin support structure. Enfuselle’s synergistic treatment formulas boost your skin’s natural ability to defend and repair its appearance. Wrinkles and lines are visibly diminished, texture is revitalized, contours are firmer, and youthful glow is recaptured, today and tomorrow. TARGETED TREATMENTS Enfuselle’s targeted care formulas are like specialists-on-call, ready to provide focused problem-solving for those flaky patches or clogged pores that happen to everyone now and then. SUN CARE Enfuselle combines the patented sunscreen protection (U.S. Patnet No. 6,015,548) including broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays with the exclusive comprehensive antioxidant protection of the patented Vital Repair+® (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946).

Close your eye and gently apply to eyelid. • Turn cotton ball over and gently wipe across eyelid to remove all traces of cleanser and makeup. • To remove heavy mascara, use a facial tissue to gently blot lashes between your fingers. To Wash Face: • Start by splashing your face with lukewarm water — hot water can strip too much oil from your face and overstimulate sebaceous glands; cold water can “set” oils and makeup and make them tougher to remove. • Rub a dime- or quarter-sized drop of cleanser between your palms to warm it up — it will spread and absorb dirt better. TIP: Do you start your day with a shower? Keep an extra Enfuselle cleanser handy in the shower stall or tub for morning “Step One” convenience! • Gently massage the cleanser over your entire face, paying careful attention to oily areas like the nose, chin, and forehead. Use upward and outward strokes; do not scrub. Avoid eye area. • Rinse with warm water, using a white washcloth or your hands. Treat your skin gently. • Blot gently with a clean, dry towel. STEP TWO: NEUTRALIZE • IMMEDIATELY after cleansing, saturate a cotton ball with toner and gently smooth over face and neck, using upward and outward strokes. • Avoid the eye area; do not scrub skin with cotton ball. • Allow to air-dry naturally — Enfuselle toners have been designed to evaporate quickly without overdrying skin. STEP THREE: REPAIR In the MORNING: FIRST apply Eye Treatment Note: If you wear contact lenses, put them in before applying any Repair product. • Apply a small amount of Eye Treatment to the tip of your ring finger. • Using a circular motion, lightly pat the skin around your eye, being careful not to tug the skin. DEFINE THE “EYE AREA”? Draw a circle with your finger: Begin at the top of the nose, right between the eyes, then follow the brow outward and down to the cheekbone, then along the top of your cheekbone back to your nose. Enfuselle EYE MAKEUP REMOVER and EYE TREATMENT have been specifically designed to meet the skin care needs of this delicate area. 2 E n f u s e l l e # 2 — H ow To U s e NEXT apply Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15 • Use a dime-sized drop of Time Repair A.M.

SPF 15, apply to your neck and upper chest area for renewed texture and tone! • Using upward and outward strokes, gently smooth into skin until completely absorbed. In the EVENING FIRST apply Eye Treatment (see above) NEXT apply C+E Repair P.M.® • With fingertip, dot C+E Repair P.M. evenly over face and neck while toner is still wet. Avoid the eye area. A little goes a long way — a pea-sized drop will be adequate for facial application. • Using upward and outward strokes, massage gently into skin until completely absorbed. TIP: Use C+E Repair P.M. immediately after applying Toner while your face is still wet. NOTE: Some people experience a mild tingling sensation after applying C+E Repair P.M. This feeling indicates that the pure, derma-available vitamin C is penetrating the skin and beginning to confer its unique benefits.

If discomfort continues for longer than a week, discontinue use. HOW TO USE THE NUTRITION THERAPY SKIN CARE SYSTEM STEP ONE: CLEANSE At your sink or in the shower! STEP TWO: REFINING POLISHER OR INFUSING MINERAL MASQUE How to Use Refining Polisher • Use at least once a week, more often for oily skins or skin with rough, scaly patches.

A SIMPLE ROUTINE FOR MEN STEP ONE: CLEANSING AND SHAVING If you prefer a shaving CREAM — Choose Gentle Action Cleansing Bar. NOTE: using a shaving brush will help create a denser lather to help you “track” as you shave. If you prefer a shaving GEL — Choose Purifying Cleansing Gel. STEP TWO: AFTER-SHAVE If you prefer a BRACING after-shave splash: Choose Purifying Toner. If you prefer a SOOTHING after-shave lotion: Choose Calming Complex. STEP THREE: REPAIR In the morning — Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15 protects against the visibly aging effects of time, the sun, and the environment. In the evening — C+E Repair P.M.® boosts skin’s firmness and resiliency overnight. REGIMEN FOR EXCEPTIONALLY DRY SKIN: Step One: • Cleanse with Hydrating Cleansing Lotion.

Some people even react to plain water on their skin! If you have such skin sensitivities: • Test Enfuselle products one at a time to build the individual system that’s right for your skin’s special needs. • Start by applying each product on a small patch of skin (the jawline is a good choice) before broadening the application or combining with other products. • If you are sensitive to MENTHOL: test Toners and Infusing Mineral Masque on the jawline before applying to your entire face. • If you are allergic to GRASS and have been tested by an allergist for severe grass allergies, you may be sensitive to the botanicals in Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15. Test on jawline for a few days. If you experience skin irritation or itchy, watery eyes, discontinue use. • If you are sensitive to FRAGRANCES: The Enfuselle products which benefited from including a light fragrance have been extensively tested on an international panel of sensitive people under the supervision of a dermatologist.

But over-enthusiastic cleansers may strip your skin of the natural emollients it needs to stay soft and supple. Each Enfuselle soap-free and pH-balanced cleanser gently lifts away impurities while skin-softening vitamin E and botanicals restore moisture so your skin feels soothed and renewed. Integral to each cleansing formula, patented Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) neutralizes damaging free radicals to help protect against accelerated aging. CLINICAL PROOF Extensive independent clinical testing has demonstrated that Enfuselle cleansers: • Thoroughly remove dirt, excess skin oils, and pollutants gently yet effectively. • Balance and brighten skin tone. • Leave skin in an optimum state, without disturbing its natural moisture balance. • Are non-comedogenic — do not cause pimples or blackheads by blocking pores. • Are especially formulated for sensitive skin. THE SHAKLEE UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE If for any reason a Shaklee product is not satisfactory, return it to your Shaklee Independent Distributor or Shaklee Corporation, for exchange or full refund. • Are non-irritating. • Are dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. WHAT’S THE SCOOP ON SOAP? The high (alkaline) pH of soap is extremely drying to the skin. Because soap is not pH-balanced and disrupts the skin’s natural lipid barrier, it increases trans-epidermal moisture loss. Particularly for dry skin, soap can be a disaster. That’s why all Enfuselle cleansers are soapfree and pH-balanced.

Each clinically formulated 100% soap-free and 100% oil-free product contains gentle surfactants — molecules that dissolve oil-based materials on the skin. The mission of these molecules is to lift unwanted oils, makeup, and pollutants without stripping the skin’s natural balancing agents. Each cleanser has been shown in clinical trials to cleanse gently, yet thoroughly, without disturbing the skin’s natural, healthy oil/moisture barrier. Each revolutionary cleanser features: • Additional skin-softening vitamin E — The front line of your skin’s natural antioxidant selfdefense system. Promotes visibly youthful softness and suppleness. • Patented Vital Repair+™. (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) TIPS FOR CLEANSING OILY SKIN: • Using a white washcloth can be a gentle way to exfoliate. • Be very careful not to clean too enthusiastically — overscrubbing can actually stimulate your sebaceous glands to produce more oil in an effort to protect your skin. • Rinse with cool water. • If your skin is sensitive to dyes, use a white washcloth that has been washed using dye-free detergent. FOR NORMAL TO OILY SKIN Purifying Cleansing Gel A rich-lathering, deep-cleansing gel that gently foams away dirt, makeup, pollutants, and excess sebum without overstripping. Rinses completely for skin that’s bright, clean, and refined. FOR NORMAL TO DRY SKIN TIPS FOR CLEANSING DRY SKIN: Hydrating Cleansing Lotion • Never spend more than 20 minutes in the shower or bath — longer can overdry skin. Luxurious, moisture-rich emulsion dissolves makeup and pollutants with a gentle thoroughness that doesn’t disturb skin’s beneficial oils. Leaves skin feeling wonderfully clean, soft, fresh, and refined. Optional pump recommended. FOR ALL SKIN TYPES Gentle Action Cleansing Bar • Use a soft sponge or your hands to apply and remove cleanser — a washcloth may be too harsh for dry or sensitive skin. • Allow skin to air-dry or very gently blot with soft, dry towel. A rich-lathering bar that gently exfoliates and soothes with oat flour and chamomile, while mineral-rich purified clay absorbs excess oils. Leaves skin radiantly clean, soft, and residue-free. • Especially formulated for sensitive skin FOR ALL SKIN TYPES Eye Makeup Remover Gently lifts all traces of eye makeup. Encourages delicate skin around the eyes to achieve a smooth, firm, healthy appearance. • Ophthalmologist tested. • Especially formulated for sensitive skin. • Safe for contact lens wearers. 2 Enfuselle #3 — Cleansing TIP FOR PERFECT MAKEUP: If you blink a little mascara onto your cheek, you can whisk away the smudge with a cotton swab dipped in Enfuselle Eye Makeup Remover. three steps three minutes STEP ONE: CLEANSING BRUSH-UP • Start by splashing your face with lukewarm water — hot water can strip too much oil from your face and overstimulate sebaceous glands; cold water can “set” oils and makeup and make them tougher to remove. Wash your makeup brushes as you would your face! Place a small amount of Purifying Cleansing Gel in the palm of your hand and add some water. Without scrubbing, gently swoosh brushes in the lather until they rinse clean. Pat dry, repoint the tips, and let them dry overnight. Caution: Never soak brushes overnight, since the glue could soften and cause bristles to fall out. • Rub cleanser between your palms to warm it up — it will spread and absorb dirt better. • Gently massage the cleanser over your entire face, paying careful attention to oily areas like the nose, chin, and forehead. Avoid eye area and do not scrub. • Rinse with warm water using a white washcloth, a soft sponge, or your hands. Treat your skin gently. • Blot gently with a clean, dry towel.

But it also leaves a legacy on your skin in the form of iron, a potent pro-oxidant that triggers the formation of free radicals which can visibly damage skin’s surface. That’s why Enfuselle triple action toners do much more than just whisk away scant traces of cleanser and refresh your skin: 1) A unique botanical ingredient actually “turns off” the potential of iron in tap water to generate skin-damaging free radicals. 2) Patented Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) provides comprehensive antioxidant protection against the visible signs of aging. 3) Soothing and stimulating herbal extracts energize skin and minimize pores as they effectively remove skin oils without stripping the skin.

E n f u s e l l e # 4 — N e u t ra l i z i n g 1 HOW DO ENFUSELLE TONERS WORK? One of the most damaging free radicals that can potentially attack skin is the hydroxyl radical, which is formed when the iron in tap water reacts with the hydrogen peroxide that is a naturally occurring component of healthy skin. three steps three minutes Each clinically formulated toner features a unique botanical ingredient designed to “turn off” this specific reaction which forms hydroxyl radicals. It is crucial that this particular ingredient be applied to the surface of the skin immediately after cleansing in order to neutralize any reactions triggered by iron in the tap water used to wash your face. STEP ONE: • Wash your face with the Enfuselle cleanser for your skin type. Gently pat dry with a clean towel. In addition, each toner features the exclusive patented Enfuselle complex, Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946), to provide comprehensive antioxidant protection. FOR NORMAL TO OILY SKIN Purifying Toner Refreshing, fast-drying toner refines skin and minimizes the appearance of pores. Low alcohol formula helps control oily shine to promote a smooth, matte finish for hours. Features stimulating and energizing botanicals: • Witch Hazel — Gentle astringent to tighten pores and “wake up” skin. STEP TWO: • Saturate a cotton ball with toner and gently smooth over face and neck. Use upward and outward strokes. Avoid eye area and do not scrub the skin with cotton ball. STEP THREE: • Follow with Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15 OR C+E Repair P.M.™ • Ginseng — Supports the skin’s natural oil/moisture balance and helps increase skin’s resistance to environmental stress. • Licorice — Soothes and calms the irritation that’s frequently associated with oily skin. FOR NORMAL TO DRY SKIN Hydrating Toner Alcohol-free toner refreshes without overdrying. Extremely gentle formula refines texture while protecting skin’s natural oils and hydration levels. Features soothing and moisturizing botanicals: • Witch Hazel — Gently minimizes pores without disturbing the skin’s natural oil/moisture barrier. • Chamomile — Soothing, smoothing, and calming the irritants associated with dry skin. ® For more information, call your Shaklee Independent Distributor.

Working together day and night, Enfuselle’s extraordinary treatment formulas boost your skin’s natural ability to repair its own appearance. • Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15 is a 5-in-1 treatment that meets all your skin’s daytime needs for renewal, recovery, moisturization, nourishment, and protection. • C+E Repair P.M.™ patent-pending formula delivers high levels of pure, derma-available vitamins C and E to visibly firm skin without irritation. • Eye Treatment.

When Enfuselle clinical tests used bioinstruments to objectively measure the depth of fine lines and wrinkles, an astonishing result emerged, in part because of rapidly changing climate conditions: Where no skin care or cosmetic products were used (one side of the test subjects’ faces), the visible signs of aging became measurably deeper, while the skin treated with Enfuselle products steadily improved. By the end of 4 weeks, the difference between the treated and untreated skin was as great as 400%! • Ophthalmologist tested • Safe for use by contact lens wearers HOW DOES TIME R E PA I R A . M . S P F 1 5 WO R K ? Finally, a 5-in-1 treatment that meets all your skin’s daytime needs! 1) RENEWAL: Beech Tree Bud Extract gently encourages natural cell turnover for the action of an AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) without irritation. The result is measurably clearer, brighter, smoother skin. 2) RECOVERY: Soothes irritations as it evens skin tone and fades blotchy discolorations with a unique botanical blend that features extracts of mulberry, strawberry geranium, grape, licorice, and scutellaria. Think of them as “phyto-brighteners” that recapture the glow of younger-looking skin. 3) MOISTURIZATION: Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly diminished as skin is intensely moisturized, and the skin’s natural ability to retain its own moisture is enhanced. NOTE: If you have suffered grass allergies so severe that you have needed to consult with allergy specialists, be cautious when using Time Repair A.M. SPF 15 for the first time. Why? A very small number of people who have extreme allergies to certain grasses may experience skin irritation or itchy or watery eyes after using Time Repair A.M. SPF 15 due to its botanical extracts. Test by applying the product only to your jawline for a day or two. If unwanted conditions persist for several days, discontinue use. 4) NOURISHMENT: Patented Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) nourishes and protects with pure, derma-available antioxidant vitamins and more. 5) PROTECTION: Non-irritating, broad spectrum SPF system protects against future photoaging. Especially formulated for sensitive skin. Oil free, quickly absorbed, and never sticky. Additional vitamin C also supports skin’s natural defenses against UVinduced collagen breakdown. 2 Enfuselle #5 — Repair SUN ALERT The sun causes skin damage. Regular use of sunscreens over the years may reduce the chance of skin damage, some types of skin cancer, and other harmful effects due to the sun. three steps three minutes In the morning STEPS ONE & TWO: • Cleanse and neutralize your skin with the Enfuselle products for your skin type. Allow skin to air-dry naturally. STEP THREE: • First, dot Eye Treatment lightly around the eye area — being careful not to pull or stretch the delicate skin around eyes, gently pat Eye Treatment into the skin until absorbed. • Next, smooth Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15 onto face and neck — using upward and outward strokes, gently massage into skin until completely absorbed. Avoid eye area. HOW DOES C+E R E P A I R P. M . W O R K ? Experience visibly firmer skin without irritation! The secret? Exceptionally high levels of pure, derma-available vitamin C and vitamin E in the perfect ratio to support your skin’s natural defenses and boost softness and resiliency. Vitamin C and vitamin E are partners in antioxidant protection. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is part of the body’s defense system for the watery portions of skin cells and tissues. Oil-soluble vitamin E is the first line of defense for the body’s lipids — such as the natural oils in skin cells and sebum. But the partnership extends even further: research has shown that when vitamin C is present in sufficient quantities, it can actually help regenerate oxidized vitamin E to continue its fight against free radicals — the ideal ratio of vitamin C to E is 2-to-1. That’s why Enfuselle C+E Repair P.M.™ contains: • 10% pure, derma-available vitamin C in a stabilized, completely water-free, skin-activated formula. Research shows that vitamin C supports skin’s natural defenses against UV-induced collagen breakdown, visibly improving firmness and resiliency. Vitamin C is also known for its ability to even skin tone and color and reduce the appearance of blotchy skin discolorations and dark spots. • 5% pure vitamin E — Intensely skin-softening to create a silky texture that has to be seen — and touched — to be believed. Research shows that vitamin E supports and protects the skin’s natural oil/moisture barrier, improving skin’s ability to retain moisture for a more youthful appearance. WHY IS C+E WATER-FREE? The vitamin C in many “vitamin” skin care products tends to oxidize (causing a brown discoloration of the product) while it’s still in the package. Watersoluble vitamin C will react with the ingredients in the formula itself, and this oxidation is accelerated if it comes into contact with air. C+E Repair P.M. features a patent-pending WATER-FREE formula that releases its nourishing benefits only when it comes in contact with the naturally occurring moisture in your skin. NOTE: Some people experience a mild tingling sensation after applying C+E Repair P.M. This feeling indicates that the pure, derma-available vitamin C is penetrating the skin and beginning to confer its unique benefits. Using caution, and being sure to avoid the eye area, continue to use the product. Most people find that their skin adjusts after just a few days and the tingling sensation disappears. If discomfort continues for longer than a week, discontinue use.

Enfuselle’s extraordinary moisture-drenching capabilities are based on a unique combination of state-of-the-art oil-free moisturizing ingredients and breakthrough formulation technology. Many moisturizers attempt to “seal in” moisture by using heavy, occlusive ingredients which merely serve to suffocate and irritate skin. Instead, Enfuselle optimizes skin dynamics to create an ideal environment for your healthy skin to retain its natural moisture while maintaining its ability to “breathe.” The result? Skin feels soft, smooth, and comfortable, with no stickiness. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is minimized while resiliency and luminosity are restored. Skin looks and feels younger, longer. FOR NORMAL TO OILY SKIN SEASONAL SUGGESTIONS The cold, dry air of winter not only wicks more moisture away from skin, but can chill your sweat and sebaceous glands into a lower level of activity. Be sure to use only lukewarm water to cleanse face. Avoid long, hot baths — they may feel soothing at first, but excessive bathing can actually exacerbate itchy, flaky, dry skin. Be sure to apply extra moisturizer on hands, elbows, knees, and other areas prone to chafing and extra dryness. Balancing Moisturizer Uniquely formulated to control oil and shine for a smooth matte finish that lasts for hours. Extraordinary light-as-air lotion formula provides an instant moisture surge and continuous moisture release up to 24 hours after application. Absorbs without stickiness.

Research suggests that beta glucan may even help your skin strengthen its natural immune system. In addition to soothing, Calming Complex is clinically proven to dramatically improve skin’s moisture retention, softness, and resilience to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. • Naturally soothing beta glucan — The intensely soothing properties of gentle beta glucan are clinically proven to boost skin’s natural recovery ability in the face of environmental stress and irritation. Offers exceptional relief from all of skin’s occasional upsets: • prickly irritation • chapped, dry skin • too much wind • too much sun • pet affection • sensitive, “smarting” skin • Advanced liposome delivery technology — Lecithin-derived micro-encapsulated liposomes penetrate the skin to deliver the beta glucan into skin’s layers for deeply protective benefits. • The perfect “after” product — After shaving, after sunburn, after skiing, after anything that leaves your skin craving comfort. Compensates for the dehydrating effects of heating and air conditioning, harsh climates, and airplane travel. HOW DOES REFINING POLISHER WORK? As we age, skin renewal slows down. With regular exfoliation — the gentle removal of dead cells — you can help counteract this effect, helping to uncover clearer, healthier, younger-looking cells at the skin’s surface. Leaves skin feeling clean, smooth, and baby-soft. WHEN YOUR SKIN NEEDS SOOTHING: Refining Polisher delivers a triple-benefit from head to toe: Step 2: Tone, and allow toner to completely dry. 1. Gentle exfoliation (perfect for sensitive skin), 2. Intense moisturization, and 3. Antioxidant protection. Designed to be used in the shower, Refining Polisher features: • Natural humectants — With a strong affinity for water, Enfuselle’s humectants actually pull moisture from the steam of your shower into your skin to soften and condition for exceptionally silky smoothness. • Gentle jojoba beads — The ground-up shells and beads used in many scrubs are charactistically sharp, scratchy, and potentially irritating to skin. Enfuselle’s unique jojoba beadlets are perfectly smooth and round to gently buff away dulling dry skin cells without irritating delicate skin. The result? Pores are gently unclogged so skin feels soothed, refined and refreshed. • Bilberry extract and Green Tea extract provide extra antioxidant protection. • Features patented Vital Repair+™.

We are exposed to UV radiation anytime we’re outdoors, even in winter or on cloudy days. Indoors, computers and fluorescent and halogen lights also add to our cumulative UV exposure. The amount of UV radiation reaching the earth is increasing each year as the ozone layer is depleted. Research shows that as UV radiation increases, so does the incidence of skin cancer, particularly life-threatening melanoma. And the combination of UV rays and environmental pollutants dramatically increases the total load of free radical attacks our bodies must cope with. By combining UVA and UVB sunscreen agents with the patented antioxidant protection of Vital Repair+™, Enfuselle SPF 15 for Body and SPF 30 for Body provide unique, patented, non-irritating and extremely effective sun protection while using the lowest levels of chemical sunscreens possible. CLINICAL PROOF THE SHAKLEE UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE If for any reason a Shaklee product is not satisfactory, return it to your Shaklee Independent Distributor or Shaklee Corporation, for exchange or full refund. Extensive independent clinical testing has demonstrated: • UVA and UVB (broad spectrum) protection helps inhibit the UV-induced accelerated loss of collagen and elastin. • Provides both high-level and broad-spectrum UV protection without irritation. • Very high protection against sunburn for blondes, redheads, and fairskinned persons. • Diminishes the visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. SPF 15 For Body 4 fl oz — All Skin Types — #32518 SPF 30 For Body 4 fl oz — All Skin Types — #32519 • Oil free. • Safe for sensitive skin. • Waterproof and sweatproof. • Won’t clog pores. Enfuselle’s sunscreen formulas are so unique, they are patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946). E n f u s e l l e # 8 — S u n C a re 1 HOW THE SUN AFFECTS OUR SKIN Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation — both UVA and UVB rays — stimulates melanin production, which is why we tan. UVA radiation actually penetrates the epidermis, disrupting and damaging the underlying collagen and elastin, the elastic material that keeps skin firm. The resulting “photoaging” leads to premature wrinkling and sagging. UV radiation varies in intensity according to season, altitude, and time of day. These are “burning” rays, and are now believed to be a major contributing factor in solar-induced skin cancer. Research shows that UV radiation may damage DNA and cause cell mutation, as well as altering the immune response and weakening the skin’s ability to fight abnormal cells. A possible link has been established between severe sunburns in childhood and greatly increased risk of melanoma in later life. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that is characterized by extremely rapid progression. Because of this rapid growth, it is rarely caught in time, and almost always results in death. According to the American Cancer Society, the melanoma rate has been increasing by about 4% per year since 1993 — over 40,000 people were diagnosed in 1997 alone. The sad fact is, even if sunshine on your shoulders makes you happy, UV radiation is not your friend. FAC TO R S T H AT I N C R E A S E RISKS OF UV EXPOSURE Genetics. All types of skin cancer are much more common among individuals with lightly pigmented skin. Blondes and redheads are particularly vulnerable. And melanoma rates are 20 times higher in whites than in African Americans. Time of Day. At noon, when the sun is overhead, UV radiation levels are 10 times greater than at either three hours before (9 A.M.) or three hours after (3 P.M.). An untanned person with fair skin can receive a mild sunburn in as little as 25 minutes at noon; at 3 P.M. the same person would have to stay in the sun for 2 hours to get the same level of exposure. Geography. The sun’s rays get stronger as you get closer to the equator. Altitude is also a factor: exposure to UV radiation can increase by as much as 4% every 1,000 feet above sea level, putting mountain climbers, hikers, and skiers at higher risk. Chronic Exposure. Most UV exposure occurs during everyday activities such as driving or walking to and from your car while running errands. Skin cancer occurs most often on the areas of the body most frequently exposed: the top of the head (particularly for those who are bald or have thinning hair), the nose, the tops of the ears, and the left arm and left side of the face among Americans who drive a lot (this risk factor shifts to the right side of the body in countries where you drive on the left side of the road). Some researchers theorize that the risk of getting age spots on the backs of your hands may correlate to the amount of time you spend driving with both hands on top of the steering wheel. Another important note: even someone sitting in the shade may still be exposed to one-quarter or more of the total UV radiation present. And up to 80% of the sun’s rays penetrate even dense cloud cover. 2 E n f u s e l l e # 8 — S u n C a re Use of Tanning Beds. Using a sunbed once a week from age 20 may double a person’s risk of skin cancer by the age of 45. Sunbed use may also increase skin fragility, leading to easier bruising and blistering. Depletion of the Ozone Layer. In 1997, a global study produced evidence of a 40% depletion of the ozone layer in the northern hemisphere in just the past year. Ozone is found in the earth’s stratosphere and it absorbs much, although not all, of the sun’s damaging UV rays. The annual average amount of UVB radiation — the portion of the UV spectrum that causes the most damage — has been steadily increasing by 3 to 5% per decade in North America. It is estimated that each 1% increase in UV could mean a 2% increase in skin cancer. Current and projected levels of ozone depletion are anticipated to contribute an additional lifetime risk of skin cancer of up to 10% in children alive today. Fluorescent and Halogen Lights. International researchers believe that cumulative exposure to even the low levels of UV radiation from indoor sources may increase the risk of skin cancer. This risk is even greater as companies switch to louvered office lighting designed to reduce glare on computer screens. These lights focus more light downwards — a person sitting directly under louvered fluorescent lights might be getting 10 times more radiation than the person at the next desk. As scientists continue to evaluate the effects of cumulative UV exposure from all sources, researchers are also investigating the low-level UV radiation from other manmade sources, such as computer screens. Increased Environmental Pollution. In a kind of chicken-and-egg relationship, sunlight and pollutants combine forces to wreak more havoc on your skin than either one alone. Not to be confused with the stratospheric ozone which is currently being depleted, ground level ozone is formed in the air by sunlight-induced reactions between industrial and automotive emissions. Ozone pollution gets worse when the weather heats up, and ozone readily reacts with whatever it touches, which damages living tissue. Research has shown that ozone induces free radical damage in epidermal skin and significantly depletes skin supplies of naturally protective vitamins C and E. Use of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). These products help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles — unfortunately they also significantly thin the surface layer of skin that helps provide protection against UV damage. The FDA and the American Academy of Dermatologists strongly recommend staying out of the sun and use of sunscreens for people who use AHA products. MINIMIZING UV EXPOSURE RISKS Avoid exposure between 10 A.M. and 3 P.M. when the sun is most intense. Count time spent in the water or out on hazy days as time in the sun. Water lets nearly all UV rays through, and even on cloudy days nearly 80% of the sun’s rays can reach you. Don’t depend on clothing or shade for protection. Wet and light-colored clothing offer little or no UV protection. Also remember that light reflects: sitting under a beach umbrella can create the same UV exposure as direct sun. Enfuselle #8 — Sun Care 3 Apply UVA/UVB protection every day, indoors and out. Statistics prove that most UV exposure occurs when we’re not even thinking about it. Be sure to cover ALL areas of your body that will be exposed to the sun: remember the top of ears and forehead, bald spot, tops of feet when wearing sandals, and the back of neck and hands. The recommended daily precaution is SPF 15; use a higher SPF if you’ll be outdoors for two hours or longer. Boost your skin’s natural defenses against environmental pollutants. Researchers agree that the same nutrients which protect your health also play a vital role in the vitality and appearance of your skin. Clinical studies show that Vital Repair+™, the patented complex (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) integral to the Enfuselle skin care line, actually breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage on the surface of your skin. H OW D O S P F 1 5 F O R B O DY A N D S P F 3 0 F O R B O DY WO R K ?

SPF means sun protection factor. If you wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 15, you have 15 times the protection from the sun than you’d have if you weren’t wearing any sunscreen at all. In other words, if you would burn after 10 minutes in the sun with no protection, an SPF of 15 would allow you to stay in the sun for two and a half hours (10 minutes times SPF 15 = 150 minutes or two and a half hours) before burning. Keep in mind that you would still receive a burn! Sunscreens don’t give you license to stay forever in the sun. Also remember that sunscreens aren’t cumulative: if you combine a moisturizer with SPF 15 with a sunscreen product with SPF 15, your sun protection factor is still 15, not 30. Virtually all sunscreens protect against UVB radiation — in addition, some products screen out a small part of the UVA spectrum. Enfuselle’s patented sunscreen formula (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVB and UVA radiation. WHY NO AVOBENZONE? A “new kid on the block” sunscreen ingredient, Avobenzone currently does NOT meet Shaklee’s strict standards for product stability — in fact, Avobenzone has shown a disturbing tendency to decompose when exposed to UV light ... particularly unfortunate for a sunscreen! In addition to using low levels of chemical sunscreens, Enfuselle’s patented formulas (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation without the need for Avobenzone. Additionally, the Enfuselle Time Repair A.M.™ SPF 15 incorporates ingredients that help screen out UVA wavelengths (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). This means that these sunscreen products provide reliable, full protection against UV damage. e n f u s e l l e MEN’S SKIN CARE 9 ® Skin Care Technical Bulletin MEN’S SKIN CARE Men’s skin c ar E Men’s skin tends to be oily and is often predisposed to clogged pores and ingrown facial hairs.

NOTE: Using a shaving brush will help create a denser lather to help you “track” as you shave. • Oat flour helps clear away dry flakes that can cause razor to drag. • Soothes dry or irritated skin during and after shaving. • Vitamins A and E help hold moisture to your skin and beard. If you prefer a shaving GEL — Choose Purifying Cleansing Gel. • Extra vitamin E softens and cushions even heavy beards. • Rich, dense lather is ideal for “tracking.” • Deep cleans without over-drying. STEP TWO: AFTER-SHAVE If you prefer a BRACING after-shave splash: Choose Purifying Toner. • Low-alcohol to refresh and invigorate without irritation. • Fast-drying. SUN ALERT The sun causes skin damage. Regular use of sunscreens over the years may reduce the chance of skin damage, some types of skin cancer, and other harmful effects due to the sun. • Helps control oily shine FOR SMART SPORTS If you prefer a SOOTHING after-shave lotion: Choose Calming Complex. • Give your skin a long drink after exercise. Balancing Moisturizer (#32508) provides long-lasting moisture with absolutely no stickiness. • Ideal for dry skin or skin that is easily irritated. • Acts like a soothing, natural “band-aid.” • Delivers deep protection; a good choice for men with heavy beards.

Be extra careful of your left arm and the left side of your face if you drive a lot — the glass of your windows won’t shield you from the sun. • Golfers should watch out for overcast skies — the burning rays still get through clouds. Wear a hat. • Skiers and climbers beware: high altitudes mean less atmospheric protection, more UV exposure (sun also reflects off snow). For serious sun care, choose SPF 30 For Body (#32519) to help avoid sunburn and sun damage. • Watersports demand waterproof sun protection — both Enfuselle sun care products fill the bill. Be sure to reapply regularly to maximize protection.

H O W D O E S L I P T R E AT M E N T SPF 15 WORK? The skin on the lips is thinner and lower in melanin than the skin on the rest of the face. Lips also lack the sweat and sebaceous glands needed to naturally provide a protective oil-andmoisture layer. These differences mean that the delicate skin of your lips is particularly vulnerable to the drying and aging effects of the sun and environmental stresses. This soothing and protective treatment may be used as needed (alone or under lipstick) to help minimize the appearance of fine dry lines and protect against peeling and chapping. This nourishing treatment features a signature blend of ingredients that provide multiple benefits: •Vitamin C — Research shows that vitamin C supports skin’s natural defenses against UV-induced collagen breakdown, visibly improving youthful softness, firmness, and resiliency. •Vitamin E — Intensely softening to create a silky and smooth texture. Research shows that vitamin E supports and protects the skin’s natural oil/moisture barrier, improving skin’s ability to retain moisture for a more youthful appearance. •Borage Oil — Known for its skin-strengthening properties, borage oil contains essential fatty acids, offering exceptional emollient benefits. •Lysine — An essential amino acid known for its ability to soothe environmental irritation. •Calendula extract — A naturally purifying extract derived from the familiar marigold flower. •SPF 15 — Broad-spectrum UV protection in a sensitive skin formula. BEFORE YOU GO OUTDOORS OR WHEN YOUR LIPS NEED SOOTHING: •Apply Lip Treatment to your lips after completing your facial care regimen and before putting on any makeup. •Dab your lips lightly with your fingertip just before applying lipstick. •Wear Lip Treatment over your lip pencil for a nourishing, protective, lightly tinted gloss. •Use Lip Treatment overnight to keep lips moisturized and help prevent chapping. HOW DOES MOISTURIZING SHOWER GEL WORK? This patent-pending soap-free, pH-balanced cleanser gently cleans, soothes, and invigorates without drying the skin. Leaves skin feeling radiantly clean, hydrated, and conditioned. The luxurious gel formula lathers richly and rinses completely, and is designed for use in the shower or bath.

Household chores, exposure to the elements, and frequent health-conscious handwashing can all spell accelerated aging for hands. In fact, the backs of your hands are areas where your skin is thinnest, and at the same time, more often exposed to harsh weather and UV light than the rest of your body. Other areas of the body frequently exposed to the elements include the back of the neck, shoulders and arms, legs and feet. In addition to UV light and pollution, skin on many parts of the body is also routinely exposed to potential abrasion and irritation from clothing, shoes, work surfaces, and flooring or outdoor dirt, gravel, concrete, rough wood decks, and pavement. All in all, we give our body skin more of a workout than we realize … and we need to give it extra care to support and protect its naturally youthful look and feel. Enfuselle Hand & Body Lotion protects and nourishes skin with an intensely moisturizing formula featuring signature ingredients that provide four unique benefits: •Neutralizing phytic acid counters skin-damaging reactions triggered by iron in tap water. One of the most damaging free radicals that can potentially attack skin is the hydroxyl radical, which is formed when the iron in tap water reacts with the hydrogen peroxide that is a naturally occurring component of healthy skin. The phytic acid in Enfuselle Hand & Body Lotion is a unique botanical ingredient designed to “turn off” this specific reaction which forms hydroxyl radicals. It is crucial that this particular ingredient be applied to the surface of the skin immediately after cleansing in order to neutralize the damaging reactions that could be initiated by the iron in the tap water used to wash your hands or body. •A targeted botanical “pre-biotic” helps selectively nurture the beneficial microorganisms that naturally flourish on the surface of the skin. By helping to stabilize and strengthen the skin’s natural ecosystem, this unique ingredient supports your skin’s first line of defense against external aggressions including pollution, climate extremes, and intensive use of detergents or soap. •Patented Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) fights free radicals to protect against prematurely older looking skin. •Fortified with pro-vitamin B5, known to help strengthen nails and cuticles. Light and quickly absorbed, Hand & Body Lotion leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and conditioned. Contains no sunscreen. See the Sun Care Product Brief for information about Enfuselle clinically proven sun care products featuring patented (U.S. Patents No. 6,015,548 and No. 6,036,946) and broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection and the exclusive comprehensive antioxidant protection of Vital Repair+. ® For more information, call your Shaklee Independent Distributor. To order, call 1-800-VITA LEA (1-800-848-2532). WHEN YOUR SKIN NEEDS MOISTURE: •Use after shower and after washing hands to combat free radical damage from the iron in tap water. •Apply liberally to hands and body; gently massage into skin and cuticles. •Use as needed to soothe and moisturize dry, rough, or chapped skin for a more youthful look and feel. •Follow with Enfuselle SPF 15 for Body or SPF 30 for Body for nonirritating and extremely effective sun protection when needed. WHAT IS VITAL REPAIR+? The seven signature ingredients in Vital Repair+ confer seven extraordinary benefits which have been clinically proven to sustain the look of healthy, youthful skin and reverse the visible signs of accelerated aging: • Vitamin E—The front line of your skin’s natural antioxidant self-defense system. Promotes visibly youthful softness and suppleness. • Vitamin C—Works to firm and strengthen skin by supporting your skin’s natural defenses against UV-induced collagen breakdown. Vital Repair+ features a highly derma-available form of pure vitamin C to optimize absorption and utilization. • Vitamin A— Increases skin’s ability to retain moisture; helps minimize the appearance of sun damage. • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) — Dramatically increases skin’s natural ability to repair its appearance. • Grape Seed Extract —Powerful botanical antioxidant blocks enzymes which break down collagen. Supports the skin’s ability to recapture firmerlooking contours. • Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)— Neutralizes the free radicals that visibly age skin the fastest. • Beta Glucan — Exceptionally soothing to naturally and gently minimize environmental irritation.

E n f u s e l l e # 1 1 — A c n e Tre a t m e n t & P reve n t i o n 1 THE FACE OF ACNE Acne can make you feel like you’re standing alone in a spotlight, with everyone looking at your blemishes. The truth is, nearly all adolescents experience some form of acne during the teenage years, and it’s estimated that as many as half of all adults ages 20-40 suffer from this persistent skin condition. HOW DOES PATENT PENDING ACNE CLARIFYING COMPLEX™ WORK? Like so many things, acne does have a genetic component. If your family history includes acne sufferers, you’re more likely to be predisposed to also experience acne breakouts at some point in your life. The unique ingredients in Acne Clarifying Complex work both individually and together to address the varied factors that contribute to the cycle of acne troubled skin: However, scientists now believe that the genetic component of acne is rather like a light switch — it takes other factors to “turn on” the switch and light up those beacon-like blemishes. THE CYCLE OF ACNE-TROUBLED SKIN PROBLEM: Excess sebum production SOLUTION: Scientific studies have shown that Zinc Gluconate, Vitamin B6, and Licorice Extract reduce excess oiliness. PROBLEM: Clogged pores The cycle of events that leads to acne blemishes starts when the sebaceous glands—which are found at the bottom of the hair follicles on the surface of the skin—produce an excess of sebum. This natural skin oil normally travels up the hair follicle and spreads on the skin’s surface. In some cases, the result is merely oily skin. However, in acne troubled skin, this excess sebum becomes degraded by the microorganisms that are always present on the surface of the skin. As the sebum degrades, the chemical byproducts can cause excess sloughing off of skin cells lining the hair follicle. Together, the degraded sebum and shed skin cells can create a plug, or comedo, at the opening of the hair follicle, or pore. If the plug doesn’t completely block the pore, the top surface of the comedo becomes darkened by a natural skin pigment, creating a blackhead. If the plug completely blocks the pore, air can’t get in and the sebum can’t get out. As these materials accumulate, the follicle wall can bulge, creating a whitehead. In this low-oxygen environment, another type of microorganism called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) flourishes. P. acnes further degrades the sebum trapped in the follicle, creating skin-irritating chemicals that cause the redness often associated with acne. Free radical reactions also occur in the sebum, resulting in more damage to the cells lining the follicle. The skin then tries to defend itself by sending white blood cells into the battle inside the follicle. This can result in small pus-filled bumps, or pimples, on the surface of the skin. As sebum, skin cells, white blood cells and bacteria continue to accumulate in the blocked skin pore, the lining of the hair follicle can rupture. The contents of the follicle then spill out into surrounding skin tissues causing more irritation and potentially leading to more blocked pores. Although all the reasons for the initial increase in sebum production are not completely understood, one significant trigger is an enzyme that is produced during hormonal changes in the body. This “hormone connection” helps explain why acne breakouts occur with greatest frequency during puberty, at the start of many women s menstrual cycles, and among postmenopausal women using estrogen therapy. 2 E n f u s e l l e # 1 1 — A c n e Tre a t m e n t & P reve n t i o n SOLUTION: The active ingredient in Acne Clarifying Complex, Salicylic Acid, helps speed the sloughing of the skin cells blocking the opening to the hair follicle. Salicylic acid also penetrates pores to clear most acne blemishes and to help prevent the development of new acne blemishes. PROBLEM: Bacteria degrade sebum and create irritating byproducts SOLUTION: Manuka Oil and Tea Tree Oil support the skin’s natural healthy microfloral balance; extracts of Burdock, Watercress, and Licorice soothe irritated skin around hair follicles, helping to reduce the redness of acne blemishes. PROBLEM: Free radical reactions in sebum SOLUTION: Vitamins A and E are oil-soluble antioxidants to help prevent free radical attacks and oxidation of excess and bacterially-degraded sebum. In addition, Vitamin A supports healthy, normal skin cell turnover and Vitamin E softens skin. WHY IS ACNE CLARIFYING COMPLEX™ GENTLER THAN OT H E R AC N E T R E AT M E N T S ? Many acne treatment products rely on one “big gun” active ingredient, such as high concentrations of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, to zap existing blemishes quickly. However, such one-pronged approaches can irritate skin and do not address the other factors that contribute to the cycle of acne troubled skin. This clinically proven formula provides maximum strength effectiveness in fighting acne with a lower concentration of the active ingredient, Salicylic Acid. This means the formula helps clear up acne while being gentle to the skin. Antioxidant vitamins and botanicals help leave the skin smooth and healthy looking, while Salicylic Acid helps eliminate current breakouts, helps prevent future ones, and helps skin heal fast. WHO MIGHT BENEFIT FROM ACNE CLARIFYING COMPLEX? MORE ABOUT TEA TREE OIL An essential oil of the Australian native tree Melaleuca alternifolia, Tea Tree Oil has long been regarded as a useful topical agent with many benefits to the skin. In a doubleblind clinical study of people with acne troubled skin, researchers noted that Tea Tree Oil clarified skin equally as well as benzoyl peroxide, a common treatment for adult acne.1 An additional benefit: Tea Tree Oil is gentler on the skin. • Nearly all teens who are looking for an effective acne medication to clear up pimples fast and help prevent new pimples from forming. • Over half of all adults who are looking for an effective blemish medication gentle enough to meet the needs of adult skin. • Anyone who is looking for a long term solution to the problem of acne troubled skin. • People who want a gentle and effective “spot treatment” for occasional acne breakouts. FOR MEN ONLY: Q: My skin only seems to break out when I shave. Why? And what can I do to stop this? A: If you are using a double-edged razor, stop. Double edged blades cut the hair beneath the surface of the skin and cause trauma and subsequent breakouts. Try using a single edged razor and shave in the direction of the hair growth. Also, your shaving cream may be irritating your skin; try shaving with Gentle Action Cleansing Bar (if you prefer a shaving CREAM) or Purifying Cleansing Gel (if you prefer a shaving GEL). Finally, never put cologne or aftershave on areas where you frequently break out; these products often contain oils which can aggravate acne. Use Calming Complex for a soothing after-shave lotion.

E n f u s e l l e # 1 1 — A c n e Tre a t m e n t & P reve n t i o n 3 HOW DO I USE ACNE CLARIFYING COMPLEX? ACNE TREATMENT REGIMEN FOR TEENS: TEENS: Morning Most teens have oily skin that is also troubled by acne breakouts. The key to treatment: dry up the acne blemishes and gently encourage natural skin cell turnover, then protect the skin against moisture-loss and free radical attacks that can lead to prematurely older looking skin all too soon. Step One: Cleanse with Purifying Cleansing Gel. Step Two: Zap the oxidizing effects of the iron in tap water and refresh skin with Purifying Toner. Step Three: Apply Acne Clarifying Complex to entire face. Step Four: Prevent the visible signs of premature aging with Time Repair A.M.® SPF 15. Apply to non-affected areas initially. After blemishes clear up, apply to entire face and neck. Evening Step One: Cleanse with Purifying Cleansing Gel. PLUS: Two to three times per week, use Infusing Mineral Masque after cleansing to help draw out surface impurities and leave skin smooth, ultraconditioned, and refreshed. Step Two: Tone with Purifying Toner. Step Three: Apply Acne Clarifying Complex™ to entire face. Step Four: Follow with Balancing Moisturizer. ACNE TREATMENT REGIMEN FOR ADULTS WITH NORMAL TO OILY SKIN: Morning Step One: Cleanse with Purifying Cleansing Gel. Step Two: Tone with Purifying Toner.

Step Five: Follow with Balancing Moisturizer. 4 E n f u s e l l e # 1 1 — A c n e Tre a t m e n t & P reve n t i o n ADULTS: After the teen years, having acne blemishes doesn’t necessarily mean you have oily skin. In fact, if your acne troubled skin feels tight or dry after washing, or if you experience dry patches (on your cheeks, for example), then it is important to properly meet your dry skin’s needs as well as your acne concerns. The key to treatment: Encourage your skin to regain a normal, healthy oil/moisture balance, address your acne blemishes as gently as possible, then protect against environmental damage to retain your youthful appearance longer.

Bio-instruments were used to objectively measure the depth of fine lines and wrinkles on one side of the face, where Enfuselle was being applied, and compared these results to the control side, where no skin care products or makeup were used. The results of the tests, due in part to the rapidly changing climate conditions, were extraordinary. Where no skin care or cosmetic products were used, the visible signs of aging became measurably deeper, while the skin treated with Enfuselle products steadily improved. In addition to bioinstrumentation, subjects completed a detailed questionnaire following the tests, subjectively rating the products’ results. We stand behind each and every one of our products.

Protected by eight patents. Clinically proven and exclusive to Shaklee. Behind the science of skin care While a healthy diet supported by dietary supplements can help keep your skin healthy and younger looking, it takes even more to protect skin from the outside world--it takes the very best "skin" vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, highly effective when incorporated into anti-aging skin care products. Skin care ahead of its time Recognized as pioneers in the development of nutritional supplementation for almost a half-century, Shaklee scientists focused their scientific expertise on investigating the causes of aging. They found that accelerated aging occurs, in part, because of increased exposure to the sun and environmental pollutants, which creates free radicals on the skin. This in turn takes its toll on the skin, the body’s largest organ, by causing effects that you may not even see for a long time. A concept borne out of research a decade ago led to the discovery and development of Vital Repair+® Complex, a patented comprehensive combination of proprietary ingredients that you would expect to find in a dietary supplement. This exclusive complex is the heart of the Enfuselle skin care line and remains your best defense against the chain of damage caused by time and environmental assaults. A revolutionary breakthrough in skin care. Skin infusing nutrition – the name tells the story Enfuselle infuses skin cells to combat aging assaults. The exclusive antioxidant formula,Vital Repair+ Complex, systematically breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage with seven nutrients for the skin, all of which work in synergy, providing greater benefit together than when used separately. It’s a formula so unique that it holds three patents. No other skin care line offers better support. Many others include nutritional ingredients, but Enfuselle comprehensively blocks all the free radical reactions that take place on the skin, reactions that can lead to the premature signs of visible aging. And, because Shaklee takes a new approach to skin nutrition, Enfuselle never includes harsh ingredients that others do to achieve short-term results, but that may not lead to a lifetime of beautiful, healthy skin. With Shaklee and Enfuselle, you feel your best, and look your best now-- and for life. Shaklee is the difference, and we have the proof: Shaklee has invested more than $1 million in research, development, and clinical studies on the products that make up the Enfuselle skin care system. Eight patents have been awarded to the Enfuselle line, so it’s both recognized and safeguarded for its unique and effective formulations. Only a few skin care companies have any patents, and even fewer have as many as eight. Enfuselle products have been proven safe and effective in laboratory and human testing. One test included 2,000 people worldwide.Test subjects were selected due to their skin sensitivities. Test results were so remarkable that they exceeded Shaklee expectations and those of the independent laboratories that conducted the testing.
