At Arbonne, we proudly combine the best of science and natural ingredients to formulate products that deliver the most efficacious results. We have never claimed to be 100% natural or organic.
Our formulas are tested for safety. We test ingredients, the amount an ingredient is used in a product formula along with the duration of exposure.
You cannot assess the safety or toxicity of a product based on the ingredient listing alone because it does not provide information on ingredient purity, or ingredient interactions. This is determined by the formulation and is further validated through testing on the finished product.
Science and testing of raw materials best support the purity and safety of both the individual ingredients as well as the finished product which we believe is critical. Based on this, Arbonne concentrates on quality testing of each ingredient and the finished product to ensure that it meets our high standards of quality. This is where Arbonne’s commitment to safety and purity testing becomes important to ensuring the quality of our products while maintaining our ability to source the best ingredients for the formula to ensure sustainability, efficacy, product performance and stability.
We take the best botanicals from nature, combine that with cutting-edge science and believe that healthy living starts from the inside out. All our products are formulated vegan and gluten-free; our nutrition products are formulated with non-GMO ingredients and are created to Kosher standards. Our product standards are validated by independent, third party certification organizations including Vegan Society, Gluten-Free Certification Organization and the Non-GMO Project. We prove what we say and these certifications back that up!
It also means that we go beyond standard industry testing and include additional testing of raw materials, finished products and clinical-use studies to validate that our products are the best that they can be.
The studies also include testing for skin sensitivity, heavy metals, ingredient purity, preservative efficacy, dermatologist and ophthalmologist evaluation, comedogenicity and safety standards.
Our product labels transparently reflect what’s in each formula; what you see on the label is what you get! Our NØT ALLØWED List™ includes more than 2,000 ingredients — nearly 1,400 from the European Union, plus several hundred more — that we won’t use in any formula or we are actively working to remove.
We continually re-evaluate our ingredients to make sure that we stay on top of research and competitive trends. Arbonne’s strict ingredient policy, research, and extensive safety standards give us the most effective products made with safer ingredient choices.
All of this supports what we believe makes Arbonne uniquely positioned in the industry as a purpose-driven company. To support our goals, Arbonne is currently pursuing third party validation via B Labs certification. A public benefit company has a dual purpose – not only to generate profit but also to give back to the community via a stated “public benefit”. Arbonne has converted to a formal public benefit company this year. You can learn more about the rigorous B Labs certification process at their website https://bcorporation.net/about-b-corps. This is an ongoing process and Arbonne will publish updates as we make progress.
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
