Arbonne Ingredient Policy
The Arbonne Promise: To deliver pure, safe and

Pure: Arbonne is committed to the

Our commitment begins with research and
testing to ensure that each of our ingredients
meets or exceeds industry standards for purity.

At Arbonne, beauty begins with premium botanical ingredients, an integrative approach
to beauty and an unwavering commitment to pure, safe and beneficial products. Arbonne
creates personal care and wellness products that preserve and enhance the skin, body

Research and Development (AIRD ® ) facility in Switzerland, we continually explore and
develop scientifically advanced, botanically based proprietary formulas that meet our exacting
standards for quality, safety and sustainability.
Safe: Arbonne is dedicated to the safety
of our products and our consumers. We review
our ingredients and our formulas based on the
most objective, conclusive, scientifically supported
sources available.
In addition to our strict internal Purity and Safety
Ingredient Policy, Arbonne abides by the global
rules and regulations set by the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, the
National Industrial Chemicals Notification and
Assessment Scheme (NICNAS), the Personal
Care Products Council (formerly the CTFA), the
Cosmetics Internal Review (CIR) and the Therapeutic
Goods Administration (TGA) and by the
two highest standards of cosmetic safety: The
European Union Cosmetics Directive and the
European chemicals agency known as REACH
(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and
Restriction of Chemicals). We also embrace the
European Commissions Scientific Committee
on cosmetic and non-food products (SCCNFP),
which conducts safety evaluation on cosmetic
ingredients. In addition, all our fragrances are
formulated in accordance to the International
Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards.
The dietary supplement industry is regulated
by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as
well as by the government agencies in each of
the fifty United States. The FTC monitors the
advertising of dietary supplements to ensure
appropriate and substantiated claims are
being made. Arbonne rigorously adheres to
the regulations for all dietary supplements.
All dietary supplements are submitted for
pre-market notification, follow strict labeling
requirements, execute mandatory adverse
event reporting, and ensure Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMPs) are followed as well
as appropriate facility registration.
Before Arbonne brings any products to market,
all ingredients are reviewed and finished formulas
are safety tested to ensure their quality. These
safety tests include irritancy and allergy testing
for all products, ophthalmology testing for eye
products, dermatologist testing for all beauty
products, and additional pediatrician testing for
baby products.
Beneficial: Arbonne offers premium
quality beauty, health and wellness products
with targeted results. We employ consumer
and clinical testing to reinforce our research
and ensure our proprietary formulas deliver
unparalleled performance.
