A Better Choice
Because These Don’t Belong On Your Skin

MINERAL OIL 
A mixture of refined liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, mineral oil is the stabilizing ingredient of many skin formulas.  Mineral oil forms a film on the skin, blocking the pores and interfering with normal skin respiration.  It may, 
therefore, not only dry the skin, but be a contributing cause of blemishes.

PETROLEUM  
Petroleum products such as vaseline, etc. do not penetrate (PETROL ATUM)  the skin, but sit on the surface blocking natural respiration, excretion and absorption of other nutrients.

BEESWAX
Beeswax is a sticky sealant.  It attracts pollutants, dirt and bacteria and glues them onto the skin as it seals the pores.

SOLVENT
Many skin care products contain solvent alcohol in the ALCOHOL 
form of propyl, isopropyl (petroleum derivatives or SD alcohol-specially denatured ethyl alcohol).  These alcohols are very drying to the skin. 

LANOLIN
An oily excretion of sheep, lanolin is a common lubricating ingredient in skin formulas.  Extracted from the wool, lanolin has been indicated as a cause of allergic skin reactions in sensitive people.

COLLAGEN
An animal product, collagen is added to cosmetics as a moisturizing agent.  Collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin and can therefore clog pores, and in some cases cause allergic reactions.

ARTIFICIAL
Formulated chemically from a wide variety of  sources. 

COLORS
Artificial colors are known to cause allergic reactions in some people.

FRAGRANCES
Chemical fragrances have been known to create skin reactions and photosensitivity in some people.

ANIMAL
Animal products are not used in Arbonne Skin Care.  Arbonne is cruelty free.
