Melaleuca Hosts Cleanup Event to Benefit Community Parks

by

Melaleuca continued its annual fall service event, this year focusing on beloved gathering places in the communities where its employees work and live. More than 220 employees combined their efforts in Rexburg’s Eagle Park and the Idaho Falls River Walk to clean up an area near the Snake River and restore approximately two and half miles of walkways and riverbank. Nine teams formed to fill three dumpsters and dozens of trailers with overgrown vegetation, fallen branches and debris.

In Rexburg, 30 team members collected 12 bags of garbage and 150 pounds of scrap metal for disposal, and even helped corral a herd of goats that had gone astray.

“On behalf of the City of Idaho Falls, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for leading another incredible volunteer project,” said PJ Holms, Director of Idaho Falls Parks & Recreation. “This marks the third year of the initiative, and each year it continues to have a meaningful impact on our community. It is truly inspiring to see Melaleuca live out its mission of enhancing the lives of those you touch by helping people reach their goals. By encouraging your employees to actively participate in public service, you are not only improving our community but also setting an example of corporate leadership and citizenship that others can look up to.”

USANA Reports Preliminary Q3 2025 Results

by

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. announced its preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter net sales are now expected to reach $214 million, compared to $200 million in the same period last year. Earnings from operations are expected to be $1.2 million, compared to $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2024.

The company attributed these results, which came in below expectations, to softer-than-expected sales and distributor activity as the company rolled out its enhanced compensation plan. Hiya, the company’s direct-to-consumer business, also delivered softer sales and reduced customer acquisition rates. Even so, Hiya is still expected to generate double-digit sales growth in 2025.

USANA has been actively training its commercial team and educating and supporting its distributors across global markets to help them leverage the new compensation plan, and expects this will drive sales and leader productivity to create sustainable growth for the company and long-term value for customers, distributors and shareholders.

“The third quarter presented several challenges to profitability including softer than anticipated sales, meaningful investments to support the roll out of our enhanced Brand Partner compensation plan and a change in the estimated annual effective income tax rate that disproportionately impacted the current year quarter,” said Doug Hekking, USANA Chief Financial Officer. “Specifically, lower than expected earnings coupled with the concentration of operating and administrative expenses in the United States resulted in a meaningful increase in the annualized effective income tax rate in the third quarter from 45% to 65%. Looking forward, we recognize that the fourth quarter is starting from a lower base of active customer counts due to the softer than anticipated sales and leader productivity during the third quarter. As a result, we expect sales for the full year to be at or near the lower end of our previously issued full-year outlook range and earnings per share to be below the range. Our outlook will be updated in our regularly scheduled earnings release. We will continue working to align costs with operating performance over the next several quarters while emphasizing a more agile, adaptable, and efficient company in an evolving and competitive environment. This effort is expected to result in a meaningfully lower tax rate in future years.”

Official financial results are expected to be released October 21, 2025.

Oriflame Releases First Beauty & Wellbeing Report

by

Oriflame released its first Beauty & Wellbeing Report. The study examined the role beauty plays in enhancing emotional wellbeing, self-confidence and daily self-care for 3,500 participating women from seven countries.

The report’s findings showed that, for participants, beauty was “not about chasing perfection, but about feeling emotionally supported, connected, and in control.”

According to the study, 95% of women said they recognize a link between beauty and wellbeing, with 71% saying they believe society places an overemphasis on physical appearance. More than half (64%) reported being most interested in personalized skincare and nutrition more than any other health intervention.

“This report reaffirms what we’ve believed for decades: that beauty is a deeply emotional and empowering experience,” said Anna Malmhake, Oriflame CEO & President. “Across the world, women are telling us that beauty rituals help them feel grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. That’s exactly the kind of beauty Oriflame stands for: accessible, effective, and emotionally meaningful.”
