Want Arbonne Ingredients?  You'll have to work for it.

I've given up looking for the ingredients in Arbonne's NutriMinC RE9 REtaliate Wrinkle Filler.

I'm far from alone in this frustration.  Read this Arbonne post with over 16,000 reads to get a flavor of the complaints about Arbonne ingredient information.

Arbonne's ingredient listings feels out-of-place in this age of transparency and customer-centric marketing.  Arbonne makes consumers work to gain insight into the Arbonne product ingredients.

To get the ingredient list of any Arbonne product you must contact an Arbonne consultant.  Why does Arbonne make this an arduous process when  consumers are accustomed to Googling a product to get instant information?  To make a sale.

Arbonne - a love, hate relationship

If you're an Arbonne consultant, you either love Arbonne (i.e., you've made it to the top in sales and can feel the love as you drive off in the latest sales incentive) or you hate Arbonne (i.e., haven't sold diddly and got stuck with tons of product).

Ditto the Arbonne customers. Love the product, got a great deal, always get samples. Hate the product, can't find a consultant, can't escape the consultant. 

Love it or hate it?  Share your thoughts about Arbonne?

If you have ordered from arbonne then you should have realized that the ingredients in the product are listed on the packaging that the product was sent in easy peazy just like that.

I took this list and researched each one of the ingredients on the list. the very first one is a known highly-toxic substance-- "safe and botanical" my arse. After reserching all the ingredients (finding that the only "botanical" ingredient is shea butter- out of a very long list)I see that most of the chemicals are moderately to highly toxic, have been linked to nuroligical disorders, and reproductive toxidity, even in small amounts, some of them cause cancer, and some allow all of the other harmfull ingredients to fully penetrate the skin. So, maybe Arbonne really works, maybe you will have beautiful skin- but at what cost? Maybe if you sell it you will make some money, but at what cost to others? After looking into the above product listing, I am definately not interested in using it. I hope you do your research before you use it and decide for yourself what beauty costs to you...
