How many Amway patents are there?

The hallway outside the Research & Development division at Amway World Headquarters is lined with dozens of glass panels filled with technical drawings. They depict some of the hundreds and hundreds of Amway patents that scientists, engineers and designers have secured over the years for Amway products, ingredients, technologies and packaging.

Currently, Amway has more than 750 patents or patents pending, but that number fluctuates. Patents can be sold or expire, and members of the Amway R&D division are constantly seeking additional patents for new discoveries or improvements to existing products and technologies.

Amway patents include the formula for key ingredients in nutrition, beauty or personal care products and innovative technologies or designs for air and water purifiers. They also include the unique shape of a supplement tablet or various product packaging.

Investments in innovation

Patents are a necessary part of doing business in a competitive market. They are also a selling point for the more than 250,000 Amway Independent Business owners in the U.S. and the more than 1 million across the world because they are a testament to Amway product quality.

But patents also show the continual investment Amway makes in science and innovation, always searching for potential new products or product improvements that are good for people and the planet.

Amway has more than 800 scientists, engineers and technicians in over 75 labs across the world leveraging the latest research while working on products and solutions to help people live better, healthier lives.

A catalog of health and wellbeing products

The result is an Amway catalog of high quality products across multiple categories that support nutrition, skin health, fitness, personal care, healthy weight and a healthy home. And many of those products are backed by a patent that demonstrates the hard work of the scientists and engineers behind them.

Examples include Nutrilite™ Double X™, which features PhytoProtect™, a patented blend of the phytonutrient quercetin to provide antioxidant protection against free radicals.

Satinique™ hair and scalp care products can feature any of four patented ingredients, including Phytojuve, a complex of strengthening lipids and reinforcing creatine that strengthens and repairs hair.

Artistry Ideal Radiance™ Illuminating CC Cream has a patented blend of white chia seed and pomegranate extract for protective antioxidants that combine with pearl protein extract to even skin tone and treat visible dark spots and discolorations.

And the eSpring™ UV-C LED Water Purifier includes a patented, three-layer carbon filter that effectively reduces more than 170 contaminants that may be present in your drinking water, including PFOA and PFOS, microplastics and 19 categories of pharmaceuticals.

Quality assurance and third party certifications

Amway products also go through extensive quality assurance measures to ensure they are pure, safe and effective for consumers. Amway prioritizes the quality, effectiveness and safety of each product.

They are manufactured, tested and packaged according to current Good Manufacturing Practices and they meet or exceed regulatory standards in each of the 100+ countries and territories where they are sold, ensuring that the highest of standards are applied to every product, every time.

Amway also uses outside organizations to verify product quality, that includes third party supplement testing. Nutrilite partners with NSF, a global leader in independently testing and certifying dietary supplement ingredients, products and facilities as well as other products.
