Family
Owned And Operated Since 1987
Many mail-order and internet companies sell products
"just to sell products and make money". As you may have
already discovered, many owners and operators of those
companies know very little about their products. At Tan
Plus/Essentials Of Life (www.tanplusforhealth.com), we
are not only retailers but satisfied consumers of our own
products as well. We personally use or
strictly evaluate the products and services we offer. In
addition, our salon clients provide us with ongoing
product feedback.
Since 1987 Tan Plus salon customers
have trusted us to provide them with the best products
and services possible, honest and accurate information,
and a clean and professional environment at all times. In
the fall of 2000 we established our presence on
the internet. We have been selling our own tanning and
skincare products, natural lighting and diet and
nutritional products online since March, 2001.
Our mission is to contribute to
a healthy lifestyle through education and by offering
services and products that dramatically make a positive
difference in our customers lives.

Skincare
Products...In 1994, concerned
by the inferior and potentially hazardous ingredients
found in many tanning and skin care products, we
partnered with a laboratory in Chicago, to develop our
own skin care line. With the exception of necessary
preservatives, only natural ingredients known beneficial
to the skin are used. We
are able to produce our products using expensive "top
grade" ingredients and price them reasonably. By selling
the products directly to our salon and internet
customers, and not through a distribution network, we
have been able to keep the pricing under
control.
Nutritional
Supplements...After several
years of studying the impact of nutritional deprivation
on health and the environmental causes of degenerative
disease, In 1995, we established Essentials Of Life. We
began the process of evaluating suppliers and their
related products to compile, what we found to be, the
most effective products capable of addressing these
concerns. Through
our nutritional supplement manufacturers and suppliers,
we receive substantial discounts by purchasing in volume.
In doing so, we are able to offer these effective,
quality products and still maintain consistently
realistic pricing for our customers.

Shipped Directly
By Us... Not Drop Shipped
Many mailorder and internet retailers do not inventory
the products they offer. They take your order and your
payment then pass your order on to one of their suppliers
for processing. Referred to as "drop shipping", this
arrangement works out very well for the retailer. They
have little overhead, basically operating out of a room
with nothing more than a computer, fax machine and a bank
processing account. For the consumer, though, this puts
the order at the discretion of a third party, without a
vested interest in the timely shipping or accuracy of an
order.
With the exception of water filters, S.A.D. light
boxes, Health Analyzers, and some EMF products, all of
our products are inventoried and shipped from our
physical location in Somersworth, NH. Your order will be
processed quickly, but accurately, and shipped without
delay. We track all shipments, including those drop
shipped, to assure that they reach their destination.
Quality
Assurance And Shelf-Life Consistency
We continually
monitor our partners and vendors to assure consistency
and quality of our product lines. We
also continually monitor our products' expiration dates.
If one of our products goes past the expiration date, we
offer it at a reduced price up to 50% off or
more.
