We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

How much are you pulling in on your advertising now? When people find products or an avenue to share ideas and thoughts (which is what your blog is all about) that works for them, why is it somehow negative if they want to share those products or thoughts? Is a MLM person somehow deceiving people in the fact that they are out to make a living selling something (they believe in) just like large companies that sell the cheap stuff? You are out to educate consumers? Really? Aren't you just out to make a buck too? It is incredible the kind of junk that you allow on this blog under the guise of helping to inform consumers on the evils of "expensive" beauty products. Isn't judging whether something is expensive or not expensive based entirely on relativity? My face and body never looked or felt as nice to me when I continued to use the cheap stuff and buy into your "scientific" information that those products your blog espouses are just as good as the products sold by MLM companies such as Arbonne. Folks, please have faith in yourself and believe this;The proof is in your mirror. Noone is stealing money out of your pocket when you purchase "expensive" beauty products. You make that choice yourself. Grow up people and trust your own instincts. If you like it, feel confident in your choice to buy it. If you do not like a product simply do not buy it. There is not another human being on this planet that can force anyone to purchase anything. I am surprised that noone seems to notice that you are just out to make a buck like the MLM people.

A couple of things point to Arbonne: 1-Candace R Keefe is listed in the application as one of the "inventors". She is also listed on Arbonne's website as Sr. Vice President, Product Development and Field Events. http://www.arbonne.com/company/info/team.asp Also the applications refers to "Bio-Hydria" which is a registered mark with Arbonne. It also refers extensively to "nanospheres" which are used extensively in it's marketing material. The steps listed also are in lock step with the instructions given with the anti-aging sample kit. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck... I agreed with you whole heartedly about MLMs. They are set up to appeal to three things we could do with less of in this world: insecurity, fear and greed. Thanks again Left Brain,
