Why Shaklee Products Are Different: The Science, the Standards, and the 70-Year Track Record

Before you join, you deserve to know exactly why Shaklee products have earned the trust of millions — and why that matters for your business.

A Question Worth Asking

Would You Recommend a Product You Didn’t Believe In?

The products are the star here and that matters. Some people are fine with using any products – others care about the ingredients and formulas. The fact that the Shaklee range of products have been crafted to deliver results make it so easy to share them. They aren’t the cheapest products in the world – but you can find cheap products everywhere. What we have here are products meeting the highest quality standards. Those seeking high quality want Shaklee.

These products have a 70-year track record, over 110 published clinical studies, and credentials that most wellness brands can only dream of. Here’s what that actually means.

EWG Verified — The Gold Standard in Clean Beauty & Wellness

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is one of the world’s most respected independent organisations for evaluating the safety of personal care and wellness products. Their EWG Verified™ mark is awarded only to products that meet strict criteria for ingredient transparency, safety, and manufacturing standards.

Shaklee is one of only a handful of companies in the world to have multiple EWG Verified™ products. That’s not a marketing claim — it’s an independently audited certification.

For New Zealand ambassadors, this is a genuinely powerful conversation starter. Kiwis are increasingly sceptical of greenwashing, and “EWG Verified” is a credential that carries real weight with informed buyers.

The World’s First Climate Neutral Certified Company

In 2000, Shaklee became the first company in the world to be certified Climate Neutral — meaning it completely offsets its climate impact across every product it makes. This wasn’t a PR move. It was a reflection of the founding philosophy: to create products that are good for people and good for the planet.

For ambassadors who care about sustainability — and whose customers do too — this is a meaningful differentiator in a market full of brands making vague environmental claims.

Shaklee Quality 101: What Goes Into Every Product

Most supplement brands outsource quality control. Shaklee owns it end-to-end. Every ingredient is tested before it enters their facilities, during manufacturing, and before the product ships. The result is a level of purity and consistency that’s virtually unmatched in the industry.

110+ Published Clinical Studies. 70+ Patents.

Most wellness brands have zero published clinical trials. A few have one or two. Shaklee has over 110 — peer-reviewed, published studies that demonstrate the efficacy of their products. That’s not a marketing department talking. That’s science.

Combined with more than 70 patents, Shaklee has invested decades into actually proving that what they make works — rather than simply asserting it.

Leadership

Led by Someone Who Has Actually Made the News

Shaklee is led by Roger Barnett — a Harvard-educated businessman who has been featured in Forbes, TIME, and other major publications. This isn’t a faceless corporation. It’s a company with visible, accountable leadership that has been scrutinised by the world’s most demanding business press — and come out looking good.

Why It Matters Here

What All This Means for You as a New Zealand Ambassador

When you share Shaklee with someone in New Zealand, you’re not asking them to take your word for it. You’re pointing to 70 years of track record, independent certifications, published science, and a leadership team that has been publicly accountable for decades.

That changes the conversation entirely. It moves from “trust me” to “here’s the evidence.” And in a country where people are rightly sceptical of wellness industry hype, evidence is everything.

The products do the work. Your job is simply to connect people with them.
