Apprehension over harmful chemical materials used in skin care and beauty items remains high, even in an ever-changing "Green" world. However, Arbonne International is actually changing the face of the industry with their all-natural botanical and herbal skin care products. At this point you can become one of their well respected Consultants and begin selling Arbonne products as a part-time or full-time business.

History

Arbonne International began in 1975 in Switzerland by Petter Mørck. In addition to his efforts, other leading herbalists, bio-chemists and biologists created skin care products based on botanical principals. They sought to produce natural products that were superior in quality, effectiveness, safety, and value.

The company eventually started selling products globally and ultimately reached the United States in 1980. The American headquarters and distribution warehouse for independent distribution are located in Irvine, California. Annual sales are nearly $35 million, rivaling even Mary Kay and Avon.

Products

The Arbonne health and beauty products incorporate safe interior and exterior. The business is premium quality skin care, cosmetic, nutritional and aromatherapy items.

Arbonne items all are vegan certified. Testing for their formulas are never done on animals and consist of all-natural herbal and botanical ingredients. Arbonne believes in full disclosure and continues to make available full ingredient lists for each and every one of their products.

Arbonne's main line of products is:

Color cosmetics

Acne care products

Anti-aging and skin creams

Baby care products (oils, creams, lotions and washes)

Weight control products

Nutritional supplements and vitamins

Each product line is continually tested for safety and ongoing improvement standards.

Structure and Distribution

The distribution path chosen by Arbonne is the use of network of Independent Consultants. Each Consultant is based and trained in the high level of Arbonne principals. Consultants are provided with cash and product rewards, sales incentives, travel opportunity and a SuccessPlan to help them reach their income goals.

To start, Consultants sign up and receive support and training for their new venture. They must also adhere to a strict Independent Consultant code of ethics. There are two levels to start as an Independent Consultant: a Preferred Client and a Consultant.

Preferred Clients are required to purchase a $29 starter kit, which includes a catalog, manual, brochure and product samples. There is a 20% discount on products for Preferred Clients. Preferred Clients have access to monthly promotions and product specials.

For a new consultant, they have got to purchase a starter kit ($109) containing basic items including marketing aids; action plans, presentation charts, and prospecting packs. The starter pack also includes a carry bag, product samples. If you choose to start as a Consultant, you will receive a 35% product discount.

From these two starting Independent Consulting positions, individuals can advance to area manager and regional vice president positions.

The Arbonne compensation plan includes commissions on sales of products and through downline commissions and bonuses from mlm team sales efforts.

If you are interested in health and beauty products that are safe for individuals and family, then becoming an Arbonne Independent Consultant may be for you. Previous Independent Consultants say that it is the support and encouragement of Arbonne people who make it enjoyable and lucrative entrepreneurial effort. Perhaps you can join them today!
