What Shaklee acquired (and what that actually means)
Shaklee’s purchase covers the intellectual property and product rights for the Modere lines sold in New Zealand: trademarks, formulations and certain product names (Liquid BioCell®, Trim and others), plus existing inventory/rights necessary to reintroduce the range locally. Importantly, Shaklee states the science-backed formulas — especially Liquid BioCell® — will be maintained and made available through the Shaklee platform.
The takeover preserves product availability, protects formula integrity, and plugs former supply gaps by leveraging Shaklee’s infrastructure and distribution capabilities. For everyday customers this translates to renewed access (with a likely phased rollout), and for former Modere social marketers it provides a potential pathway to re-engage with a familiar product line within a different company structure.
Why Shaklee bought these NZ Modere rights
Shaklee’s acquisition accomplishes several strategic goals:
Preserve customer demand: It captures the loyal core of Modere’s user base by making familiar products available again. PR Newswire
Broaden Shaklee’s portfolio: Modere’s clean-label personal care and Liquid BioCell® technology strengthen Shaklee’s collagen and anti-aging line-up.
Regional foothold: Launching in New Zealand helps Shaklee expand its presence in the Pacific region while providing local customers faster access.
- When Modere closed its doors in early 2025, many New Zealand customers and social marketers were left searching for answers about subscriptions, product access, and business continuity. Rather than leaving those product lines to disappear, Shaklee — a long-standing name in science-backed nutrition and wellness — stepped in and acquired Modere’s assets and product rights for New Zealand in September 2025. That means many of the formulas Kiwis used and trusted are returning — but now under Shaklee’s established operational umbrella.
