Why Nu Skin and MLM is Unethical

Nu Skin is unethical because at its core, it focuses its members to recruit rather than sell products. This process of recruitment does not fulfil any end-consumer needs, rather it primarily fulfils the needs of the agent and recruiter.

In simple sense, the primary philosophy of a recruiter is "who cares about the customer or their needs as long as I get the money." There are businesses that think like this, and they are called scams.

Pyramid schemes are obvious in doing this. Some do away with the product all together and simply rely on the recruitment to funnel the money up to the recruiters and up to the pyramid chart. Everyone benefits until the last sucker is recruited.

What makes Nu Skin more dangerous than your typical obvious pyramid scheme is that at its face value they have good development programs for its members and they have products with a semblance of quality.

However, if you go deeper to their motives, you notice that members are still in the business of getting your cash not from selling you products but:
a. through recruiting you (since achieving their quotas and incentives would seem impossible simply by actually selling products on their own)
b. to achieve their quota and incentive (example below)
