As per his LinkedIn profile…
…Olgun was in Jeunesse up till September 2022.
BehindMLM reviewed Jeunesse in 2015, figuring out it as an autoship recruitment scheme. In MLM autoship recruitment lends itself to a pyramid scheme enterprise mannequin.
So far as I do know Jeunesse didn’t make any important adjustments to their compensation plan, with the pyramid scheme lastly drying up in direction of late 2022.
In January 2023, it was revealed Jeunesse had been bought to LaCore Enterprises. A BehindMLM revisit of Jeunesse stays pending (I’m giving LaCore Enterprises a number of months to maneuver previous the transition section).
Olgun (proper) individually popped up on BehindMLM radar in 2018. On the time Holton Buggs was starting his journey down the MLM crypto fraud rabbithole.
On the time Buggs was pitching was pitching Ormeus International’s IQ Chain spinoff in Turkey.
To his credit score, Olgun gatecrashed the occasion and commenced asking Buggs some very pointed questions on IQ Chain.
Buggs initially tried to defend the Ponzi scheme however finally demanded Olgun depart. That prompted this closing alternate (Olgun to Buggs);
[20:45] You might be saying, “I’m the advisor of the corporate”.
However you are actually in Turkey, you might be working like you’re the chief of the corporate.

OXO International Conclusion
Whereas the merchandise are completely different, OXO International might be summed up as Ines Olgun’s private Jeunesse spinoff.
The vast majority of ranked OXO International associates look like former Jeunesse distributors, presumably from Olgun’s Turkish downline:
On the product facet of issues I didn’t see something that stood out specifically. It’s a broad vary of typical MLM well being, wellness and sweetness choices.
What I did discover have been fairly egregious medical claims.
That is from the ImmunPlus advertising web page, accessed on OXO International’s web site in April 2023;
ImmunPlus Pastille is a lozenge that helps to strengthen your immune system and defend you towards ailments due to its pure elements.
It helps to extend antioxidant manufacturing and defend towards cardiovascular ailments with its black elderberry extract and zinc content material.
It contributes to the well being of hair, nails and pores and skin. With hoary plant, it helps to deal with respiratory ailments similar to bronchial asthma, bronchitis and pulmonary tuberculosis.
It contributes to softening the chest within the therapy of cough, shortness of breath, whooping cough, persistent cough and bronchitis.
Assist strengthen your immune system and defend your physique towards infections with ImmunPlus Pastilles!
I’m a bit iffy on the “regenerating hair” shampoo however hair loss is a little bit of a gray space on the subject of medical claims.
Regenerating Shampoo regenerates your hair and prevents it from falling out.
There would possibly nonetheless be a regulatory advertising case to reply to if OXO International’s shampoo has no impact on hair regeneration nevertheless.
No foundation for OXO International’s hair regeneration claims are offered, aside from “our shampoo accommodates X product and X product does this” claims.
Getting again to ImmunPlus, OXO International fail to offer any peer-reviewed medical research to again up their clearly medical claims. This makes the claims unlawful.
And what’s weird is OXO International know these claims are unlawful, as evidenced by their very own FDA model pseudo-compliance;
It can’t be argued that beauty merchandise and fortified meals deal with any illness, assist deal with it, stop the illness, assist stop it.
It cannot be argued that beauty merchandise act on the decrease layers of the pores and skin and completely.
The product descriptions specified on our web site are based mostly on data and paperwork similar to product labels, brochures supplied by producers and importers.
This data doesn’t imply that the promised results of the merchandise will certainly happen or that there aren’t any unwanted side effects.
Palming off obligation for medical claims that seem on OXO International’s web site to undisclosed “producers and importers” doesn’t legalize them.
OXO International is the corporate making medical claims about its merchandise. OXO International is thus chargeable for offering customers (and regulators) with proof to again up its medical claims.
I’ve to level out that is what I used to be capable of finding in English. OXO International’s main goal market is Turkey.
Who is aware of what’s getting in Turkish behind closed doorways.
With respect to retail viability of OXO International’s merchandise, $10 for a 100g tube of whitening toothpaste appears steep.
Shifting onto OXO International’s compensation plan, it’s just about the identical story with Jeunesse.
There isn’t a buy (on signup or month-to-month) required, however the core is fairly clearly signup with a Product Package deal, purchase one thing on autoship so your upline earns, and recruit others beneath you who do the identical (making certain you earn off their month-to-month buy).
This begins with OXO International’s Product Packages having an hooked up monetary incentive. This makes them recruitment advertising instruments.
OXO International’s residual fee advertising instance cites a mean 500 PV month-to-month spend per recruited affiliate (~$500), which appears absurdly excessive.
Jeunesse’s collapse and dump to LaCore Enterprises coincided with dwindling recruitment. Granted it took some time with Jeunesse, however finally all pyramid schemes run out of recruits.
If OXO International is stuffed with individuals both making an attempt to recapture the Jeunesse International glory days, or worse misplaced cash in it, then that advertising hype goes to be short-lived.
In mild of him having the ability to readily deal with issues with MLM crypto Ponzi schemes, it’s a bit disappointing Enes Olgun can’t see the identical with recruitment heavy MLM alternatives.
A easy repair is a month-to-month retail gross sales quantity requirement. If OXO International is representing a 500 PV a month affiliate spend of their compensation advertising, make the retail gross sales quota 250 PV a month.
Had Jeunesse of had one thing like that, it might have seemingly collapsed years earlier. Being basically a Jeunesse spinoff, OXO International would face the identical problem.
Whereas it’s attainable to run OXO International as a retail centric MLM enterprise, there’s no incentive or requirement to.
Join with a Product Package deal, decide to a month-to-month product order (~500 PV or in any other case), and give attention to recruiting associates who do the identical.
Strategy with warning.
