Belinda Brown reports on
 Nutrimetics
– a very special personal service
You won’t find Nutrimetics items on department
store counters, but this company’s blend of personal service and product
purity has made it the number one choice for Australian women. Its network of trained
beauty consultants extends to 12 countries - including the UK, US, France, Canada and Greece
- where the philosophy of personal service has created many dedicated fans.
“We meet our clients through personal
introduction,” says Nutrimetics consultant Betty Manning. “We visit
individuals in their own homes, but ideally we like to visit a group of around six friends
together, and then we demonstrate a range of products to suit them individually. We take time to assess each person’s skin type
before making recommendations about what would
suit them. All skins, including mature skins, vary enormously and one size definitely
doesn’t fit all! We pride ourselves in developing one-to-one relationships with our
clients, who always have the freedom to try and buy in a friendly environment. Our products are delivered on a mail order basis
with a 30-day return clause and no hard sell.”
Every one of Nutrimetics products is based on natural
plant ingredients. They are tested
in a skin clinic at a UK hospital against allergies, and the company even has its own
toxicologist who looks for any long-term effects.
Nutrimetics was born in the 1950s, when its
founder journeyed to a valley in the Himalayas where the inhabitants - the Hunzacuts
– were rumoured to have found the secret of longevity, youthful looks and clear skin.
The latter, he discovered, was down to apricot kernel oil, which they applied to their
skins every day to protect them from the harshness of their environment.
Today, Nutri-Rich Oil remains the crown jewel of the
Nutrimetics range. Based on apricot kernel oil and enriched with natural
Vitamin E and carrot oil, the company claims that it brings great nourishing benefits to
the skin, making it feel soft and supple. Sold as a night-time face treatment, it also is
good for dry skin anywhere on the body. Nutrimetics
have conducted their own clinical tests, and they
say that, after 28 days of regular use, it leaves the skin 25 per cent smoother and with
up to 38 per cent greater firmness and elasticity. And at £29.50 for 60 ml, you’re
getting real value for money.
Nutrimetics boasts six complete skincare collections, with
a range of ingredients that includes
vitamin E, carrot oil, shea butter, macadamia oil, aloe vera, avocado, honey, almonds, evening primrose oil. “These have been used
by Nutrimetics for many years and are now the buzzwords on every upmarket cosmetic list,” says Betty.
Their
anti-ageing selection, Restore, includes a patented
‘depot’ 24 hour delivery system to provide antioxidants and
lessen appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The
range includes Balancing Cleansing and Toning lotions, Day Crème, Night Crème, Eye Lift and Firming Facial Masque. Two other anti-ageing products, Specific Care
Day Lotion and Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Serum
are designed to provide sun protection, moisturise, improve skin firmness and elasticity.
There’s
a range of products for men, as well as body and hand creams and lotions, aromatherapy foot balms, lipsticks, foundations,
eye colour, perfume, hair care. The variety of
products, all based on natural ingredients, is very impressive. Items in each range can be
bought individually or as part of a set, and the company frequently runs promotions that
enable clients to buy at discounted prices.
“All our products are economical to use,”
says Betty Manning. “You can buy a year’s supply of high performance skincare
products for £60 – while resting assured that every ingredient we use has undergone
rigorous testing and safety procedures. We never test on animals and we always abide
strictly by international regulations.”
The prices are the best news of all about this company. Since it only take orders through its own
consultants or through mail order, there’s no middle man, no outside distributor, no
store to pay. And that keeps prices down. These are high-class products at affordable prices. Look at the catalogue and price list, and be
pleasantly surprised.
Since 1997, Nutrimetics has been owned by the giant
Sara Lee Corporation, which remains committed to its philosophy of natural
products at affordable prices.
The company has consultants operating in the UK in London, the south
east, parts of the south west, Wales, south midlands. And
there are plans to expand country wide.
