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.

That is why we shouldn't use them. Actually, I am disturbed by this idea, slather on my hair and skin some animal fat. But I am okay with the idea of eating a piece of chicken or steak. I do usuaLLY eat it as lean as I can, but I know it's in there. Animal by products chemically alter our hormones. That is why we shouldn’t use them.

I do greatly appreciate it! This is actually the 3rd time I have visited your site. I do find it quite strange that you keep bashing Arbonne. Maybe it is just that I have only visited 3 times and maybe you do bash other companies, but I just wondered why you are so against them. I have been using their products and find them to work great for me, so much so, that I have joined their company despite what I have read here. I have tried many other products that are low price range and high end and also home made products in hopes of finding something that would help combat the signs of aging that are showing up on my face. This is working for me and several people I know-- so what ever your problem is with Arbonne, please don't stop others from trying it -- If the goal is to truly support women who are trying to find good products and information, then please the good products and leave politics out of it. better to say nothing that bash a good product line. wow, I came here for information, which I do want to thank you for taking the time to do for me.

Not hard to understand. I don't know anyone that is grossed out by animal products in cosmetics that is ok eating any and all animal by-products as you assume. Also, you are making a BOLD BOLD statement by implying that milk is taken from the animal without harming it - could you elaborate on that for all the people who actually beleive what you say? Apparently you have lots and lots to learn about the dairy industry.

Did you read this on the website somewhere? I think not...the products are simply certified vegan. Do you look down on this? It sounds like an individual consultant made an exaggeration. "Blogs" like this loose credibility when they bad mouth companies and have no facts to back it up.
