SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 2004--USANA Health
Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA) today announced the re-launch of
Sense(TM), its popular skin and personal care product line, now
formulated with new preserving technology.
The revolutionary (patent pending) technology uses a combination
of botanicals, antioxidants and other active ingredients to keep
products fresh, without the use of parabens, the most common
preservative used in cosmetics and skin care products. Parabens
(preservatives) are commonly used to extend the life of nearly all
cosmetic products. However, the new Sense line is formulated without
parabens but still offers the same two-year shelf life. Sense is the
first major skin care line in the world to implement this new
scientific advancement.
"Our preservative technology will change skin care as we know it.
The cosmetic industry has been trying to discover a way to preserve
products without parabens for years, and by introducing our new
technology in the Sense line, USANA continues to establish itself as
the leader in the industry," said Dr. Myron Wentz, founder and
chairman of USANA. "Sense has raised the bar for cosmetic companies
around the world."
The Sense skin care line will include the same products but will
now be formulated with the new patent pending technology. Sense hair
and body products are also being reintroduced with the new technology
and include two new products.
