  Thank you for your expert advise on how to use the internet, chantistar. I'll research those ingredients again and include the citations with my findings...

  Here you go, in case you can't find it:
  
  After entering the ingredient list for NutriMinC RE9 REtaliate Wrinkle Filler on the SkinDeep Cosmetics Safety Database, here's what I found out (please keep in mind this is a preliminary report and has not been verified by EWG).

  No, actually, chantistar, I used information from another Arbonne rep that listed the chemical ingredients in RE9 above and went to a 3rd party website to research the toxicity factors of each ingredient. As I said, if you're up for the challenge...go for it. If you want to continue to stick your head in the sand and sell toxic beauty products to your friends and family, that's your choice.

  ...and what else???

  I agree with Siseling Barb. I used/sold Arbonne for two years and feel stupid that I didn't educate myself back then on how "Pure, Bonatical and Safe" Arbonne IS NOT. If you can honestly name/research EVERY ingredient and tell us that NONE of the ingredients have ANY toxicity issues, more power to you. I challenge you to do that...Are you willing to take the challenge?
