Isagenix

Isagenix started in 2002, when product formulator John Anderson teamed up with Jim and Kathy Coover. The Coovers had years of direct sales experience. Anderson had spent decades formulating weight-loss and nutritional products for other companies. Together they built a company around a simple routine: replace a meal or two with a nutrient-dense shake, and add periodic "Cleanse Days." The company is still based in Gilbert, Arizona. It opened in Australia and New Zealand in 2007, and its country selector now lists more than 20 markets across North America, Europe and the Pacific.

Leadership. In September 2020 the company promoted Sharron Walsh to CEO. She joined Isagenix in 2009 and had run its Australia and New Zealand business before leading global sales and marketing. Jim Coover was co-founder and chairman at the time. When it announced her promotion, Isagenix said it sold more than 175 products to more than 550,000 customers in 26 markets. Earlier that year, in January 2020, it bought Zija International, a Utah company. That deal brought Xango mangosteen juice and moringa products such as SuperMix into the Isagenix catalog.

I'm honored to serve as CEO of such an amazing company. As co-founders, Jim and Kathy Coover have set the standard for businesses in our industry, and I believe wholeheartedly in their vision for Isagenix.

Products. The flagship is still the shake-and-cleanse system. IsaLean protein shakes come in whey and plant-based versions, and in March 2026 the company said the shake now includes MCT oil. Cleanse for Life is a drink the company describes as "detox system support." Customers sip it daily or use it on Cleanse Days. These two make up the 30-Day Reset, and other packs are built around them: the 11-Day Reset, Shred Pack, Healthy Lifestyle Pack and a GLP-1 Support Pack. Around that core sit IsaLean bars and snacks, Complete Essentials vitamins, Greens and SuperMix powders, Xango juice, AMPED fitness products, Harmonia for menopause, and energy, sleep and hydration drinks. The company also offers a 30-day product satisfaction guarantee.

Beauty. Isagenix sells beauty from the inside and the outside. Collagen Elixir is a single-serve collagen drink, and Hydrate + Hyaluronic Acid and Hair Revival are also sold as beauty supplements. Celletoi is the skin-care line: an Advanced Youth Serum, a Firming Cashmere Cream, a cleanser and an eye treatment. Product claims are the company's own, so read the labels and research pages before you buy.

Home care. In February 2026 Isagenix launched Everclean Living. The line includes All Clear multi-surface cleaner, Pure Sparkle bathroom cleaner, Fresh Pressed laundry detergent sheets and a reusable spray bottle, and the company calls it plant-powered. It is the first time Isagenix has sold outside personal nutrition and beauty. The official site is isagenix.com.

Isagenix has no physical starter kit. To sell, you open an Associate account, which carries an annual membership fee. The company's 2022 US earnings disclosure put that fee at $29 a year. The fee gives you wholesale pricing, access to the compensation plan, the IsaLife app and training. Most new Associates also buy a product pack, such as the 30-Day Reset, to use themselves. That purchase is optional, and the company's disclosure says the business "does not require significant investments in inventory."

If you only want the products, you can open a Customer account instead. Customers get discounted pricing through Preferred Membership, or through Subscription Rewards for automatic monthly orders, but they cannot earn commissions. The company says most people start this way. In its 2022 disclosure, more than 89% of new US members opened Customer accounts only. Fees and pack prices change, so check the current enrollment page or ask an Associate before you sign up.

Associates earn in two main ways.

• Retail profit. Customers who buy from your personal Isagenix site pay retail price, and you keep the difference between retail and wholesale. Older versions of the plan described this as up to about 30%.
• Team bonuses. Your team sits on two sides, left and right. When sales volume builds up on both sides you earn a team bonus, which Isagenix calls a "cycle," and these are paid weekly. You need to reach the Consultant rank before cycles count. Higher ranks such as Manager, Director and Executive add matching and leadership bonuses.

The plan also pays enrollment-pack bonuses when people you introduce start with a qualifying pack, and runs incentive trips and challenge prizes. Isagenix says there is "no income earned from the mere act of sponsoring or recruiting others". Pay comes from product sales.

What people actually earn. The 2022 US earnings disclosure is the most recent one we could check. It says the average US Associate, active or inactive, earned $892 that year before expenses. Associates who earned anything averaged $3,994. In the top half of earners, the median was $1,254, and the top 1% had a median of $109,818. Rates and ranks change, so check the company's current compensation plan and the latest disclosure before you join.
