Natura4Ever operates within the dietary complement and private care MLM niches.
The corporate names Eric Masson as Chairman of the Board of Administrators.
Regardless of its web site natively loading in French and the overwhelming majority of Natura4Ever advertising materials being distributed in French, the corporate offers a company tackle in Luxembourg on its web site.
That is odd, contemplating Alexa pegs France as the first supply of visitors to Natura4Ever’s web site (90%).
I initially pegged Natura4Ever SA as a shell incorporation, nevertheless Eric Masson (proper) claims he lives in Luxembourg on his private Fb profile.
Natura4Ever’s Government Director Common, Jean-Michel Larré, can also be based mostly out of Luxembourg.
Undecided what the story is however past having an workplace there, Natura4Ever doesn’t seem to truly do any enterprise in Luxembourg.
Neither Eric Masson’s or Jean-Michel Larré’s Natura4Ever company bios element any particular MLM associated historical past.
Masson is credited with 24 years expertise in “relational advertising”.
As a distributor, he broke all velocity and effectivity information.
As an organization founder in our enterprise, he has helped others generate the best incomes in a number of international locations.
Larré is just credited with
participated within the creation of recent corporations within the area of wellness and community advertising.
I did attempt to independently confirm both of their previous MLM ventures however got here up clean. This may be on account of French language boundaries.

The primary degree of the binary crew homes two positions. The second degree of the binary crew is generated by splitting these first two positions into one other two positions every (4 positions).
Subsequent ranges of the binary crew are generated as required, with every new degree housing twice as many positions because the earlier degree.
Positions within the binary crew are stuffed through direct and oblique recruitment of associates. Word there isn’t any restrict to how deep a binary crew can develop.
On the finish of every week Natura4Ever tallies up new gross sales quantity on either side of the binary crew.
Natura4Ever pays residual commissions based mostly as a share of gross sales quantity generated on the weaker binary crew facet.

- associates who preserve a 50 PV order each 5 weeks are paid an 8% residual fee price
- associates who preserve a 100 PV order each 5 weeks are paid a 12% residual fee price

Leftover quantity on the stronger binary crew facet is carried over into the next week.

Conclusion
Natura4Ever fails to offer a number of essential data factors for anybody doing their due-diligence on the corporate.
Retail gross sales, affiliate membership prices and compensation plan documentation.
Contemplating Natura4Ever has been round for a number of years, there’s no excuse.
With respect to the corporate’s merchandise, blue-green algae dietary supplements have been round for ages and there’s loads of competitors – each on-line and offline.
Natura4Ever declare their lab cultivation method “ensures a everlasting high quality management”.
The product is thus constant, fast and protected against all contamination that’s typically present in open-air crops.
Contemplating the potential ramifications of promoting contaminated blue-green algae dietary supplements, I don’t assume there’s a lot of a danger of that occuring.
That’s to not say there aren’t doubtlessly dodgy suppliers. However in the event you purchase from a good model it’s not one thing I’d be fearful about.
There’s additionally some noticeable overlap in Natura4Ever’s merchandise, notably within the private care vary.
Natura4Ever’s Phyalg merchandise all appear to do the identical factor (based mostly on shared product descriptions), with the one distinction being the supply (serum, lotion or cream).
Probably not certain if that’s essential. Pricing between the merchandise would possibly come into play however once more, isn’t supplied.
The ache patch can also be a bit unusual. The identify is self-explanatory however no details about how the product works or its lively elements are supplied.
So as to make an knowledgeable alternative, potential Natura4Ever prospects have to understand how a lot their merchandise price.
Retail pricing is conspicuously absent from Natura4Ever’s web site.
And that seems to be by design, as real retail gross sales don’t seem like attainable.
As outlined in Natura4Ever’s compensation plan, the corporate incorrectly identifies affiliate purchases as potential retail gross sales.
From the second you change into a Member of N4E, you may have the choice of buying N4E merchandise at Member charges to resell to prospects on the really helpful worth.
You profit from the margin which is the distinction between your buy worth inclusive of tax and the steered retail worth TTC. Your promoting worth to the person is about freely.
As above, Natura4Ever can resell their purchases at no matter worth they resolve to make up.
From a regulatory perspective nevertheless, what an affiliate does with bought product after they’ve bought it’s irrelevant.
The product nonetheless counts as an affiliate buy, which must be counter-balanced by real retail gross sales.
The exception to that is if retail reselling gross sales are diligently tracked for every affiliate, nevertheless Natura4Ever offers no indication they observe what associates do with bought product.
This leads us into Natura4Ever’s compensation plan, which is your basic pay to play autoship recruitment mannequin.
New Natura4Ever associates enroll, pay a price and are then required to buy a Beginning Pack to take part within the connected MLM alternative.
The mere reality of being registered doesn’t qualify you for the bonuses and commissions associated to the event of a crew of distributors and described within the traces beneath.
At your comfort, you may proceed on the similar time to your registration and with the acquisition of one of many Beginning Packs which let you profit from varied gratuities and all the chances of Bonus and Commissions supplied by the Natura4Ever Compensation Plan.
After buying a Beginning Pack, Natura4Ever associates should then qualify and stay lively to obtain commissions.
As outlined in Natura4Ever’s compensation plan;
“lively” standing
This standing is validated by the order of at the least 50 PV within the final 5 weeks.
This generally is a handbook order or autoship. Natura4Ever nevertheless do state that autoship “is really helpful to remove the danger of lacking a qualifying interval to be lively.”
Put all of this collectively and you’ve got a basic autoship recruitment MLM alternative – in any other case generally known as a pyramid scheme.
New Natura4Ever associates enroll, are compelled to buy merchandise every month (50 PV to start out with after which 100 PV from the Silver rank).
Given real retail just isn’t attainable (resell retail has nothing to do with the MLM alternative anyway), 100% of commissions paid out by way of Natura4Ever are thus tied to recruitment.
Little doubt some Natura4Ever associates will preserve they only joined for the product.
That’s honest sufficient however the onus is on Natura4Ever to have true retail buyer lessons inside their compensation plan (one-time and most popular prospects).
With out these lessons everyone seems to be an affiliate. With no real retail prospects, no matter why an affiliate signed up, any MLM firm working as such is a pyramid scheme.
Below the autoship recruitment mannequin, commissions are tied to recruitment.
Which means these new to the corporate want to search out recruits in an effort to receives a commission.
When recruitment slows down, so too do commissions.
It will see new recruits ultimately cease paying for autoship. Which means those that recruited them cease getting paid.
The collapse of an autoship recruitment scheme happens when sufficient associates have stopped paying for a month-to-month product order.
No matter how lengthy this takes to happen, nearly all of members in such schemes inevitably lose cash.
