Solvasa seems to run two web sites, which is a bit complicated.
There’s Solvasa Beaty and Solvasa Life. Solvasa’s “magnificence” web site predates the “life” web site.
Guests to Solvasa’s “magnificence” web site are supplied the next message on the high of the web page:
Returning Buyer? Now we have securely moved your account info to our new web site.
Whenever you click on on the supplied hyperlink nonetheless, you keep on the Solvasa Magnificence web site.
Of the 2 web sites, Solvasa Magnificence is the MLM alternative with merchandise.
Solvasa Life is principally a Solvasa owned weblog/podcast web site.
Why Solvasa can’t simply host its weblog and podcast on its major web site I don’t know.
Issues get much more messier when you think about Solvasa’s Fb web page, which hyperlinks to the “life” web site – which incorporates no details about Solvasa’s MLM alternative or merchandise.
Solvasa’s advertising and marketing identification is a bit far and wide.
To maintain issues easy I’m going to faux Solvasa Life doesn’t exist. This evaluate is predicated on Solvasa Magnificence, which I consider is the MLM firm.
Solvasa operates within the private care and diet MLM niches. The corporate is predicated out of California within the US.
Heading up Solvasa is co-founders Lori Bush and Ritu Chopra.
So the story goes;
A prognosis of breast most cancers led magnificence business govt, Lori Bush, to Dr. Ritu Chopra for reconstructive surgical procedure.
It additionally led to deep discussions between affected person and physician a few main need-gap within the skincare market: merchandise and practices to assist handle the impression of stress and inflammaging on look and general well-being.
With a mission to deal with this common want, Solvasa Integrative Magnificence was born.
Lori Bush has a historical past within the private care business relationship again to 1993.
As per her LinkedIn profile, Bush’s MLM govt profession started in 2000 as President of Nu Pores and skin.
- Feb 2000 – Jan 2006, President of NuSkin
- Sep 2007 – Jan 2016, President and Normal Supervisor of Rodan & Fields
- Aug 2018 – Jul 2019, Chairman of Board of Managers at Avon
Solvasa was based in Might 2018, so there’s a little bit of overlap between it and Bush’s Avon function.
Ritu Chopra runs a plastic and reconstructive observe in California. So far as I can inform Solvasa is his first MLM enterprise.
One title on Solvasa’s govt listing that caught my eye was Chairman of the Board of Administrators, Truman Hunt.
BehindMLM is aware of Truman Hunt as the previous long-standing CEO of NuSkin (2003 to 2016).
Throughout Hunt’s tenure NuSkin’s Chinese language bribery shenanigans got here to mild.
In a nutshell, in 2014 Chinese language authorities introduced they thought NuSkin was a pyramid scheme. Wheels have been greased and the investigation went away.
This didn’t sit proper with US authorities. In late 2016 the SEC started proceedings in opposition to NuSkin.
NuSkin settled the SEC’s bribes and corruption allegations for $765,688.
Shareholders filed their very own lawsuit pertaining to NuSkin’s misconduct in China. This resulted in a $47 million greenback settlement in October 2016.
Truman Hunt resigned as NuSkin CEO two months later in December 2016.

If any stage 2 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on stage 3 and so forth and so forth down a theoretical infinite variety of ranges.
Solvasa don’t specify how they outline a era throughout the unilevel group.
Sometimes a era is outlined when a set rank affiliate is present in a leg.
Seeing because the Generational Bonus begins on the Ambassador rank, it’s probably a era is capped off when an Ambassador is present in a unilevel group leg.
Whatever the rank used to calculate a era, the method is similar: when an affiliate on the specified rank is present in a leg, they cap off the primary era for that leg.
A second era begins after them, up till one other affiliate on the identical (or larger) rank is discovered deeper within the leg.

Conclusion
The pairing of a affected person and plastic surgeon to entrance an MLM firm is definitely uncommon.
Lori Bush has an extended historical past of involvement in private care MLMs. Ritu Chopra I don’t get.
I may perceive a dermatologist maybe launching a private care MLM, however a plastic surgeon?
I suppose like every surgical procedure there’s therapeutic concerned in plastic and reconstructive procedures, so perhaps there’s some experience being tapped into there.
Would possibly even be a little bit of a money-spinner of Solvasa is being bought at Chopra’s clinic.
Anyway they appear to have made it work so extra energy to them.
Product sensible Solvasa targets irritation and stress. The one product that stood out to me was the “Crystal vitality wand”.
The contact a part of the wand is constituted of “real rose quartz crystal”.
Cooling stone and ergonomically-designed wand present snug leverage to unblock lymphatic congestion and flush toxins from the pores and skin.
My first thought was to move on over to Alibaba and see if I may discover something related.
The deal with Solvasa are utilizing didn’t come up however there’s loads of different rose quartz massaging rollers with vibration.
I believe the “crystal vitality” product title is a bit deceptive, seeing as there’s no precise vitality being launched – at the least not in the best way the wand’s title is implying.
Even outdoors of Alibaba, rose quartz curler therapeutic massage wands go for <$50. I’m unclear on what the justification is for Solvasa’s $200 asking worth.
In distinction the Fastify meals look fairly respectable. It’s good to see an MLM firm provide precise meals as a substitute of the same old powders and capsules route.
$135 for a 12 pack involves $11.25. Bit pricier than a grocery store meal and a viable comfort different to take-away. Actually a hell of lots more healthy.
Shifting on to Solvasa’s compensation plan, PV coming from both retail or your personal buy is a possible challenge. Be sure you verify how your potential upline is producing their 75 PV every month.
What you’re in search of is at a minimal ~35 PV a month in precise retail order quantity.
For his or her half Solvasa’s affiliate settlement states;
If Connector purchases Merchandise for resale to prospects, Connector should retain receipts displaying that at the least 70% of these Merchandise have been resold inside 30 days of the Product order date. Connector shall furnish copies of gross sales receipts upon request by Solvasa. Falsely representing the resale of Solvasa Merchandise shall be grounds for termination.
However I do not know how tightly that’s policed. From expertise it’s uncommon for an MLM firm to truly implement this type of clause.
Different niggles with Solvasa’s compensation plan was the energetic requirement for retail gross sales.
You have to solely be an Lively Connector to earn Retail Revenue.
Superior Connector – The primary promotion RANK an Lively Connector might obtain.
Being energetic requires 75 PV a month. Which, until I’m lacking one thing, means a Solvasa affiliate has to generate 75+ PV a month in retail to receives a commission on these orders.
Until they self-qualify for commissions with their very own 75+ PV order, which brings us to potential autoship recruitment territory (you enroll as a Solvasa affiliate, purchase 75 PV a month and recruit others who do the identical).
It’d be nice to see Solvasa introduce some retail qualifiers. A fast repair can be excluding an affiliate’s personal purchases from the 75 PV month-to-month requirement.
Lastly I assumed limiting residual commissions to only two ranges was odd. Even with a Generational Bonus, we nonetheless often see residual commissions paid down at the least 5 ranges. Two simply appears actually shallow and, contemplating the shortage of different bonuses obtainable, I’m unsure why that’s the case.
I believe Solvasa may do higher by their associates on that particular fee payout.
Aside from these niggles there aren’t any main purple flags with Solvasa’s MLM alternative. I’d most likely keep away from the crystal vitality wand however the remainder of the merchandise look strong.
Private care is after all all the time going to be focused to a selected viewers so method advertising and marketing accordingly. The Fastify vary is complimentary. Good luck!
