I love the concept of Arbonne because they don't test on animals, they test on voluntary human subjects.  Also, they don't have a bunch of cheap yucky chemicals.  Arbonne uses mostly botanical and some high-grade pharmecutical ingredients.  It doesn't have strong fragrance that can also cause negative reactions.  They've been around for 25 years and since they don't sell in stores, there's no middle-men.  The products are high quality (not drug store stuff but European spa grade) but the price is lower than brand name department store products.
