Within Nu Skin's range, the Epoch line is the quiet one. ageLOC gets the science headlines; Epoch is built on ethnobotany — plants with a long record of traditional use, formulated into modern products. Nu Skin names the plant on almost every Epoch page, which makes this one of the easier lines to write about honestly: you can point at the ingredient and at the sentence.
Here is the range we stock, with Nu Skin's own description of each.
Epoch Glacial Marine Mud
The flagship. Nu Skin's description: "Extracts impurities, removes dead skin cells, and rejuvenates damaged skin." In more detail, they print: "This skin renewing estuary treasure helps exfoliate dead skin cells, remove skin contaminants, and rejuvenate damaged or troubled skin. It nurtures your skin with more than 50 beneficial minerals and trace elements, including zinc and sea botanicals."
Their bullets: "Emulsifies to make oily particles easier to remove", "50+ minerals and trace elements", "Softens, purifies, and helps hydrate skin".
Directions, as printed: "Apply a generous layer of mud to skin, avoiding mouth and eye areas. Let mud dry 15 to 20 minutes or until it turns a light aquamarine color. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use Epoch® Glacial Marine Mud™ two to three times a week."
Worth noting the colour change — it is the most useful timer on any product we sell, and it saves you guessing. Shop Glacial Marine Mud.
Epoch Sole Solution
Nu Skin: "Harnessing the natural benefits of ethnobotanical Crushed Allspice Berry from Central America, Epoch Sole Solution provides noticeable relief for persistent dry, rough, cracked feet."
The active is crushed allspice berry. An earlier version of this page named a different ingredient entirely and attached a one-to-two-week timetable to it; neither came from Nu Skin, and both are gone. Shop Sole Solution, or the 15-pack.
Epoch Firewalker Foot Cream
Nu Skin: "Epoch Firewalker Foot Cream is infused with ethnobotanical Hawaiian Ti Leaf and Babassu Oil to cool, soothe, and soften the skin on your feet and ankles."
Epoch IceDancer Invigorating Leg Gel
Nu Skin: "This clear, lightweight formula features Natural Wild Mint, traditionally used in the Northwest United States to soothe tired feeling legs."
Epoch Polishing Bar
Nu Skin: "Discover the story behind ethnobotanical Sisku'pas Bark from the Northwest United States as you gently cleanse and polish away dirt, excess oil, and impurities."
Sisku'pas bark is the ingredient. If you have read elsewhere that this bar is built on volcanic ash, that was not Nu Skin's description — it was on this page until today, and it has been corrected. NuBodyRx does not currently stock the Polishing Bar.
Epoch Ava Puhi Moni Shampoo and Light Conditioner
Nu Skin: "Epoch Ava Puhi Moni Shampoo and Light Conditioner is a sulfate-free, color-safe 2-in-1 formula that cleanses and conditions hair in one simple step."
Sulfate-free and colour-safe are Nu Skin's own words, which is why they are the two we repeat. Shop the 2-in-1, or the separate Ava Puhi Moni Conditioner.
Epoch Cica Balm
Nu Skin: "Get even—in all the best ways. Epoch Cica Balm is formulated with ethnobotanical Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Titanium Dioxide and Chromium Oxide Greens."
Epoch Baobab Body Butter
A body moisturizer made with baobab oil, from the seeds of the African baobab tree. We are keeping this one short deliberately: Nu Skin's current US catalogue does not carry a description we can quote, so rather than write one for them we will simply tell you what it is. Find it in the Plant Wisdom collection.
How Epoch fits alongside ageLOC
Epoch does not replace an ageLOC routine; it fills the gaps around it. The mud is a twice- or three-times-weekly treatment rather than a daily step. Firewalker, IceDancer and Sole Solution are feet and legs, which no facial routine covers. Ava Puhi Moni is hair. Cica Balm is its own thing.
The one integration worth naming: use the mud as a weekly treatment alongside your usual cleansing routine with the ageLOC LumiSpa iO, rather than instead of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Epoch product to start with?
Glacial Marine Mud, for most people. It is the one with the fullest description from Nu Skin, it suits a wide range of skin, and it is at the affordable end of the range.
How often should I use Glacial Marine Mud?
Nu Skin's directions say two to three times a week, left on for 15 to 20 minutes or until it turns a light aquamarine colour, then rinsed with warm water.
Are Epoch products natural or organic?
They are formulated around named botanical ingredients, but they are not certified organic and Nu Skin does not market them as such.
Can I use Epoch products with ageLOC skincare?
Yes. They address different things — deep cleansing, feet, hair, body — so they sit alongside an ageLOC routine rather than competing with it.
Where can I buy Nu Skin Epoch products?
The Epoch range is in stock at NuBodyRx: browse the Plant Wisdom collection. Genuine, US shipping, no membership required.
