The Shaklee Difference and WINNERS

I hope that you all had a great weekend!  I had great responses from my Shaklee Difference Giveaway, so I thought that I would let you know a little more about our difference.  I also want to let you know that I have been using ALL of Shaklee’s product lines for over 11 years and LOVE them!!!  That is why I am so passionate about sharing them with you.  I can really feel the difference in how I feel and with our children’s health.  They have NEVER had to go on a prescription medication!!!!  I love having a healthy family.  Health does not happen over night, we took baby steps to get where we are today.  I am thankful for Shaklee for giving us natural, effective products in many different linesWhat Makes Shaklee Different?

Our mission at Shaklee is to provide a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone. We do it by making natural products that are so exceptional, you just have to tell your friends. Every product that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to improve health, work without compromise, and be gentle on the planet. That’s the short answer.
The longer answer involves all the other things we do better than anyone else:
Being the number one natural nutrition company in the US
Becoming first in the world to be certified Climate Neutral (totally offsetting our carbon emissions resulting in a net zero impact on the environment)
Powering 54 Gold Medals with our products
Investing over $250 million in clinical testing, research and development
Testing for purity and safety with over 80,000 quality tests each year
Joining forces with explorer Jacques Cousteau, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai, and other earth advocates
Winning awards for our sustainable business practices and in green design for our world headquarters
Recycling 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard from other companies
We also pioneered a business model that empowers people to work from home, spending more time doing the things that matter most to them, and earning a healthy income by helping others. Imagine a business where you can earn financial rewards, luxury trips to exotic locations and recognition for helping people, while making a difference for the planet.
That’s part of what makes Shaklee different. The other part is the uncompromising excellence of our products.

1. Always safe.


We guarantee unconditional safety.



We start with nature. Shaklee scientists search the world over to source the finest natural ingredients. Then we conduct over 350 tests on every single new botanical ingredient for heavy metals, pesticides, or any of hundreds of other harmful contaminants. And we continue to conduct over 80,000quality tests annually to guarantee the purity and safety of each and every product.
That's why we are absolutely sure of this: Every Shaklee product is 100% safe to use. Guaranteed.
We Guarantee Unconditional Safety:
Just Some of Shaklee's NO List:
NO Parabens
NO Triclosan
NO Phthalates
NO Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
NO Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)
NO 1,4-Dioxane
NO Propylene Glycol
NO Volatile Organic Cleaning Compounds (VOCs)
NO Hydrochloric Acid
NO Ammonia
NO Sodium Hydroxide
NO Butyl Cellosolve
NO Formaldehyde
NO Bisphenol-A
NO Petroleum Distillates
NO Toluene
NO Chlorine Bleach
NO MSG
NO Dyes
NO Trans Fats
NO Artificial Sweeteners
NO Toxic Inks
NO Banned Substances

2. Always works.


We guarantee utmost effectiveness.



Plenty of companies claim their products work. But at Shaklee, we have proof. You see it in the over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals, that prove the effectiveness of Shaklee products. You see it in the over $250 million invested in clinical testing, research, and development. And you see it in the 2007 Landmark Study conducted in collaboration with researchers from the U.C. Berkeley School of Public Health that showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than those who took a single multivitamin or no supplements at all.
And the most enlightening proof of all is in the millions of real people who have lived healthier, more productive lives because of Shaklee. Before any Shaklee product reaches your hand, we’ve done the hard work to make sure it does what we say it does.

3. Always green.


We lead the environmental movement by example.




Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee founded our company on the principle of Living in Harmony with Nature. That was over half a century ago, and we continue to lead by example.

We were the first company in the world to be Climate Neutral certified to totally offset our carbon emissions resulting in a net-zero impact on the environment. Our corporate world headquarters is award-winning for its environmental design.

Through the sale of Shaklee Get Clean Basic H2 in the last year alone, Shaklee has eliminated 2.7 billion bottles of conventional, ready-to-use 26-ounce window cleaner — if placed end-to-end, these bottles would wrap around the earth more than 18 times!
Shaklee also joins forces with others who care enough to create movements of change, like Jacques Cousteau, and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai, the founder of The Green Belt Movement and the first person to win a Nobel Peace Prize for the environment.
And now that almost everyone sees that there’s a need to treat our environment better, Shaklee’s over 50 years of environmental leadership is being recognized with many prestigious awards.
Here’s what we’ve achieved in just the last 12 months achievements:
88 million – Number of pounds of greenhouse gas emissions eliminated with the Get Clean Starter Kit*
10.2 million– Number of pounds of packaging waste kept out of landfills with the Get Clean Starter Kit*
1 million – Number of trees planted through our Million Trees. Million Dreams.™ Campaign with 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai
Top 20 - Designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as one of the Top 20 Green Companies in the US.
* Compared with ready to use products
Awards

The 2009 Business Award for Sustainability from Acterra


The Clean Air Award for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions from Breathe California

The Stevie Award for Best Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program
How would you like to be part of a movement to make people and the planet healthier?

  8. Hi Bonnie,
    I've been reading your blog for awhile and am really interested in your Shaklee products. I don't have a lot of money to invest in a complete line of products, at this time, but I'm wondering what specific products you would recommend for me to start out with. I was thinking of the paste and Basic H cleaner. Please advise. You can email me at lrandall@capstonebenefits.com if that is easier. Thanks!!
