Dr. Deanna Osborn
As a physician, I had tried many conventional medical remedies for a problem I
had, but to no avail. Arbonne’s natural balancing cream had an incredible impact
on me and I can't tell you how excited I was to be able to offer this product to
my patients.
Then, in July of 2002, we went on our first medical mission trip to Guatemala to
offer our skills as doctors to those truly in need. What we experienced there was
truly life altering. For the first time in our careers, we had the opportunity to
practice medicine in a way that we had never experienced before—without the
headaches of paperwork, or the bureaucracy of insurance companies and
government regulation.
Doctors Scott and Karla Sigler
Scott is an oculoplastic surgeon, I am a pediatrician and we have three children.
We began our business with an already full schedule. We love our professions
and thank God for the opportunities that have come our way because of the
training He provided. We have been blessed to be able to impact people’s lives
in our professions. Our careers have been lucrative. Although, it has become
clear that any residual income, secure financial future and true freedom will not
come from our medical careers, due to the changes in the medical industry.
Arbonne is our way to the finish line. We may, or may not, retire from our
professions in the near future, though we know medicine will not be the means
to secure our retirement. In the meantime, we have the privilege to continue
doing what we love while we build a secure future.

I am a Chiropractor and an Acupuncturist; I wanted to just empower women
about nutrition and introduce them to PhytoProlief Natural Balancing Cream.
Dr. Barbara Beaty
I have a Ph.D. in nutrition, so I am aware of the importance of attacking aging
from the inside out. After investigating Arbonne’s Bio-Nutria® line, I was
amazed. I could not believe that Arbonne could make such high-quality,
pharmaceutical– grade supplements so affordable. I never thought it was
possible for a skin care company to have knowledge about nutrition.
Judith Valentine, Ph.D.
My health center had been on the hunt for a comprehensive personal care
product line that was safe for our clients and patients.
Soon I began using the Basics Skin Care set plus the original NutriMinC® Night
Serum and NutriMinC® Night Cream with Bio-Hydria®. I thought my skin
already looked pretty good but I was impressed when people began asking me
what I used on my face. Friends especially mentioned a noticeable
improvement.

RE: Arbonne Skin Care Line RE-9
Dear Becki,
I have been in practice for 9 years here at the University Of Oklahoma, College Of Medicine. My area of
training is Ophthalmic Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery. In other words, I specialize on the eyelids, orbits
and the upper part of the face. For the last 4 years, we have sold MD Forte skin care in our office and have
been quite successful with this skin care line. I have used MD Forte for the past 4 years and seen great results
in my complexion.
Last spring, I decided to try the RE-9 line from Arbonne and within 2 weeks, I was convinced that it was a
superior product as compared to the MD Forte line. After cleansing the face, it is important to return the pH of
the skin back to normal with a toner. Most good skin care lines in Europe offer a toner. MD Forte does not
have a toner whereas Arbonne does. The eyelid cream was the most impressive change that I noticed. Within 2
weeks of using the Arbonne product, there was a decrease in the fine lines of the lower lid and increased tone. I
have been using the MD Forte eye cream for years. In my office we are now trying to sell the rest of our stock
of MD Forte and are switching over to promote the Arbonne RE-9 line. The prices are very competitive to the
MD Forte line and I feel is a superior product. Thank you for introducing me to this skin care line and I am sure
that my patients will be grateful.
Sincerely,
Scott C. Sigler, MD

Becki Barns, ENVP
Arbonne International
Dear BeckiI have been practicing pediatrics for fifteen years. General skin care, rashes, and the very common skin
problem, eczema, are all a large part of the practice of pediatrics. Until recently, I recommended a mild liquid
cleanser and lotion of the parents’ choice, as long as they avoided fragrances. For eczema, I recommended a
heavy cream or lotion that was quite occlusive. These were either mineral oil or petroleum-based. In addition,
topical steroids were frequently necessary. In recent years, two non-steroid creams have come available for the
treatment of eczema, and I have relied heavily on these. I dramatically changed my recommendations for skin
care several months ago.
I was introduced to the Arbonne Baby Care products quite by accident. I was aware that they were available,
but had no intention of using or suggesting their use until I began to learn more about the deleterious effects of
mineral oil on the skin. Still unconvinced, it took seeing a patient of mine who has eczema make a dramatic
improvement off of the medications I had prescribed, using only the Arbonne Baby Care products. Seeing this
child no longer require topical steroids or Elidel, I became convinced to give it a try. After seeing dozens of
children with horrible skin use these products and see drastic improvements, I can unreservedly recommend
them. I have seen child after child no longer require topical steroids or Elidel. I have seen child after child go
from having rough, itchy, easily irritated skin, to having soft and smooth skin. I have had only two children out
of the literally dozens that I have recommended the product to in the last four months who have not seen an
improvement. While this is certainly not a double bind, placebo controlled, multi-center trial, it has been more
than enough to change my practice recommendations. These results are personal experience in my practice, and
Arbonne cannot guarantee that everyone who uses these products will see the same results, but I am personally
very impressed with the results.
My routine recommendation is to wash the child (of any age, not just infants) with the Arbonne Baby Care
Wash. Follow this with the ABC oil. Because this oil is not made with mineral oil, but natural safflower,
sunflower, jojoba and shea butter oils, the oil is not occlusive. It soaks into the skin quickly, allows the skin to
breathe, and does not clog pores. If baths are given at night, I recommend the ABC lotion the following
morning before dressing. The ABC Herbal Diaper Rash Cream and Sunscreen (6 months and over) are also
wonderful products.
I not only wholeheartedly recommend these products to my patients; I make them available to them in my
office. Seeing the tremendous results that I have, I feel that I could do nothing but this.
Sincerely,

ARBONNE PRODUCTS STAND
UP TO THE COMPETITION
Dr. Hevia has been in
practice for over
seven years and was
recently named
“Doctor of the Year –
Southeast Region.”
Tallahassee, Florida dermatologist, Oscar Hevia, M.D. recently
conducted an independent study in which he compared Arbonne’s
Normal to Dry, Normal to Oily and Bio -Matte skin care products to
the likes of Estee Lauder, Merle Norman, Clinique, Mary Kay,
Yves Rocher, Mark Lees and Prescription Plus.
According to Dr. Hevia’s research, the Arbonne products he tested
were preferred as often as Prescription Plus, a customized product
he has been incorporating in his practice for quite some time.
Dr. Hevia learned about Arbonne’s products through one of his former nurses who had very difficult skin. Dr. Hevia worked with
her for nearly a year, trying different creams, prescriptions and treatments. Nothing seemed to work, so, when she showed him the
Arbonne products she had been introduced to by an Independent Area Manager, he figured she might as well give it a try. “To be
quite honest, I was very skeptical of the product because it is sold through a networking channel, and, usually, those kinds of products are not effective,” Dr. Hevia said.
Dr. Hevia had second thoughts when his nurse’s skin improved after just a short time on Arbonne’s products. “After a short time, I
noticed that her rosacea and acne were much improved and her skin felt silky and was completely normalized. When I saw the improvements to her skin, I realized I had to compare it to other products.”
Interested in the results of his nurse’s skin, Dr. Hevia put together a preference study, fully expecting the Arbonne products to fail
when put to the test against other products which his patients were successfully using.
His study included over 100 participants. Products were compared to one another and at the end of the first phase of the study, Dr.
Hevia found that Arbonne and Prescription Plus were the two most preferred product lines. He then put them to the test against
each other and Arbonne was preferred slightly more than Prescription Plus, although the number of subjects participating was small.
“Everyone’s personal preference is going to be different,” says Dr. Hevia, “but what this test shows is that Arbonne can hold its
own against several other high quality products, and, compared to a lot of other products, Arbonne is better. You could do hundreds of tests and never find a product that dominates, since preference is the key here, but at least it’s nice to know that Ar bonne
measures up to the best of them!”
Dr. Hevia joined Arbonne as an Independent Consultant after completing his study and now offers Arbonne’s
products to his patients. “It’s nice to offer my patients a product that I’ve tested.”
ARBONNE… A Better Choice. Because these ingredients don’t belong on your skin!
Mineral Oil: An oil product derived from petroleum (crude oil), a stabilizing ingredient used in many skin care formulas. Mineral oil
forms a film on the skin, blocking the pores and interfering with the normal skin respiration, not only drying the skin, but contributing
to blemishes. Mineral oil not only dries your skin, it also leeches out free radical fighters, Vitamins A, C, and E from your skin.
Petroleum (Petrolatum): An oil product that does not penetrate the skin, but it sits on the surface, blocking natural respiration, excretion and absorption of other nutrients.
Solvent Alcohol: A colorless, volatile liquid in the form of propyl, isopropyl (petroleum derivatives) or SD 40 alcohol (specially denatured ethyl alcohol). These strip the skin of its protective acid mantle, drying the skin.
Soap and Acetone: Dr. Bruce Hensel reported on “Day and Date” that skin care products that “strip” (mainly soap and solvent alcohol) do much more than cause skin problems; they leave the pores exposed, allowing bacterial growth in the pores, which is where
these harmful elements enter the blood stream. Soap strips the skin’s protective acid mantle. It takes the skin over 24 hors to rejuvenate itself after using soap or solvent alcohol. Soap and acetone are also very drying to the skin.
Lanolin: An oily excretion of sheep, a common lubricating ingredient in skin care formulas. Extracted from wool, it can be a cause
of allergic reactions in sensitive people.
Collagen: An animal product added to cosmetics as a moisturizing agent or injected directly into the skin. Collagen molecules are
too large to penetrate the skin and can therefore clog pores.
Dyes, Perfumes, and Harmful Ingredients: Artificial ingredients found in most cosmetics. Animal testing has been used to determine “safe” toxicity levels. Can often cause allergic reactions in many people.
Animal Products: No animal or human products or by-products are used in any ARBONNE products! If a company does not say
that they do not use animal products, chances are, they do.
Preservatives: Arbonne has less than 1% chemical preservatives in its products; you get more of what you want on your skin!
