Hi T.,
I am a Director with Mary Kay. If you are wanting some company facts about Arbonne, here are some that were put out by a National Director from Arbonne.
Besides these facts, I don't really know about their company except for some encounters that some of my unit members and myself have had with Arbonne reps.
If you want some more information, please feel free to ask. I would love to offer you any information that you need to make the right decision for you.

Mary Kay is very ethical in our teaching and our business guidelines, never talk down about Arbonne to a customer. Arbonne consultants are known for talking bad about Mary Kay-just let it go and believe that you are where you need to be!! If a customer asks about mineral oil in our products just say we use pharmaceutical grade mineral oil and it is a binder to hold the products together and will not hurt your skin-Mary Kay would never put anything in our products that wasn't approved.
You may hear the buzz in your area about Arbonne, but remember Mary Kay is a staple in the beauty industry....just keep your head held high and know that we have the BEST customer service, the BEST skin care and color cosmetics, and we represent the #1 selling brand!!
Mary Kay has created a company that also has a Go Give spirit-not a "go get them" marketing concept that is based on customers only. We teach women about skin care and help them feel good about themselves!
Be proud, stand proud, walk proud, look sharp when you wear your pin and get out the door and make a difference for another woman!!! That is what Mary Kay is about!!!
