Posted: 12 May 2010 01:52 PM PDT

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Amway Global Independent Business Owners (IBOs) have once again propelled the company to the top spot in online Health & Beauty (H&B) sales. According to Internet Retailer's annual Top 500 Guide to the web, Amway Global is ranked first in the Health & Beauty category for the seventh consecutive year, and 27th in overall web sales.

Amway Global is the North American affiliate of Amway Corp., a worldwide leader in direct selling, with more than three million IBOs in more than 80 countries and territories. Amway Global's Top 500 Guide ranking is based on estimates made by Internet Retailer, since Amway Corp. does not report sales by individual market. Enterprise-wide sales for Amway Corp. were $8.4 billion in 2009.

According to Internet Retailer estimates, Amway Global's online sales were more than $885 million in 2009.

"We are extremely proud to be number one in online health and beauty sales for seven straight years," says Steve Lieberman, Amway Global's Managing Director. "Our leadership in this category is largely due to the high quality and appeal of our major health and beauty brands, NUTRILITE supplements and ARTISTRY skin care and cosmetics. The real credit, however, belongs to the dedicated Independent Business Owners who drive our sales."

NUTRILITE is the world's leading brand of vitamins, minerals and dietary supplements, based on 2008 sales, and ARTISTRY skin care and cosmetics is one of the world's top five largest-selling prestige brands of facial skin care and colour cosmetics (based on a study by Euromonitor International).

The NUTRILITE and ARTISTRY brands are among more than 450 unique, high-quality products manufactured and marketed by Amway Corporation. These exclusive brands are supported by more than 60 Research & Development labs worldwide, approximately 500 patents, and a 180-day money-back Satisfaction Guarantee.

Internet Retailer's definitive ranking and analysis of America's 500 largest e-retailers is based on annual 2009 Internet sales, researched by Internet Retailer and confirmed by retailers. This report includes company financial, operational and performance data, as well as vendors in key categories.

Top 10 Beauty Foods - Regina Leader-Post

Posted: 12 May 2010 07:07 PM PDT

If you really are what you eat, what should you eat to retain youthful skin?

"It's the little things that count," says Dr. Lisa Drayer, author of the new book The Beauty Diet (McGrawHill). "I think many of us want a quick fix, a pill that we can pop, instead of making the long-term investment of changing our lifestyle in order to achieve good health and beauty. Eating a healthy diet that is rich in beauty nutrients is essential."

Here are Drayer's top 10 picks.

1 Wild salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that keep skin flexible, wild salmon is a rich source of astaxathin, an antioxidant 100 times more potent than vitamin E. It also contains dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), a neurotransmitter precursor often used in topical preparations for its skin-toning effects.

2 Low-fat yogurt. Rich in protein, bacteria and vitamins, one cup of plain, low-fat yogurt has 450 mg of calcium to build strong bones, teeth and hair.

3 Oysters. Think of oysters as beauty on the half shell. They are an excellent source of zinc, which is key for skin renewal and the production of collagen.

4 Blueberries. Ranked the No. 1 antioxidant out of 40 common plants, blueberries have five different anthocyanins and vitamin C, which increases antioxidant protection to skin, neurons and blood vessels.

5 Kiwifruit. "Vitamin C in kiwifruit is integral for colla-gen production and maintenance of healthy skin, and research has suggested that high vitamin C intake is associated with fewer wrinkles," says Drayer.

6 Sweet potatoes. Considered the most nutritious vegetable by the Center for Science in the Public Interest due to its proteins, complex carbohydrates and vitamins, the humble orange spud also has beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that protects against age-related wrinkles.

7 Spinach. Popeye knew his stuff: Spinach not only has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory alpha-lipoic acid, it's a great source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are key to eye health.

8 Tomatoes. Cooked with a bit of olive oil, tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, "thought to have the highest antioxidant activity of all the carotenoids," says Drayer.

9 Walnuts. Alpha-linolenic, an essential omega-3 fatty acid found in walnuts, keeps skin smooth and combats inflammatory skin diseases.

10 Dark chocolate. High in antioxidants like epicatechin and gallic acid, dark chocolate increases the flow of blood to skin, reduces roughness and protects against sun damage.

TMCNet: All Berries Are Not Created Equal - Meet The New

SALT LAKE CITY --(Business Wire)--

Sibu Beauty a global leader of premium sea buckthorn berry- based nutritional and personal care products, brings the benefits of the hundreds of years-young nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berry to the Western world. The sea buckthorn berry, with a reputation for healing and used to improve digestion, promote blood circulation and relieve cough and chronic pain for over one thousand years in China, is now becoming even more famous for its numerous health and beauty benefits.

The sea buckthorn berry grows in cooler climates throughout the world and is resilient to harsh weather conditions. Sibu Beauty's source is found high in the Himalayan Mountains at altitudes of 12,000 ft above sea level. Sibu Beauty's experience has shown that the bright orange berry actually fortifies itself against the extreme forces of nature by producing an array of powerful nutrients from deep inside the earth and packing the nutritive properties into its bright orange berry. Fortified with over 190 bio-active compounds, sea buckthorn is an unsurpassed source of Omegas 3, 6 and 9 and is also a rich source of the most elusive essential fattyacid, Omega-7, a naturally occurring component that keeps free radicals at bay and proves vital to the production of collagen. Numerous scientific studies have concluded that sea buckthorn demonstrates the ability to improve hair, nail and skin tone/texture, digestive wellness and promotes healthy aging.

The botanical name, Hippophae L., is derived from the Greek work "hippo" meaning horse, known for strengthening horses and restoring a brilliant luster to their coats. Genghis Khan was documented as powering his army and horses on sea buckthorn by increasing their stamina and giving them the ability to recover more rapidly from combat. Women throughout the ages, in remote areas of the world, have used sea buckthorn for its protective properties against the harsher elements of nature. Today sea buckthorn is rapidly becoming acknowledged as one of the most significant functional whole food rediscoveries of the 21st Century.

Sibu Beauty premium sea buckthorn berry products are 100% natural, preservative, paraben and cruelty-free. They contain no dairy, wheat, gluten, sodium yeast or preservatives and are a naturally sustainable resource. The Sibu Beauty trade practices promote equal and healthy relationships through a fair trade agreement that includes fair wages and healthy, safe working conditions for the indigenous people of the Himalayan Mountain communities where Sibu Beauty's sea buckthorn berries are harvested.

The entire line is packaged in compliance with standards set forth by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world's forests. Trusted environmental organizations including Greenpeace, National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, and the World Wildlife Fund all support and encourage FSC certification.

Sibu Beauty premium sea buckthorn berry products are sold in hundreds of locations including Whole Foods, Sprouts and coming soon to GNC and are also available on the Sibu Beauty website.
