We don't do that demonstration anymore but isn't the RE9 line something? Before Arbonne I had no idea how bad mineral oil was for our skin. I tell people though just make sure your makeup doesn't have any mineral oil in it or you're defeating the whole purpose.

I LOVE the eye cream. Sometimes my eyes are a little puffy with circles but usually by the time I'm done with my makeup my eyes look better.

Have you tried the RE9 body wash? It's great but I mostly use the Awaken Aromatherapy set.

Welcome to the club!

LOL! I don't do it anymore but when I did I would put the mineral oil in one and water in the other. Then I would place a ritz cracker in each bowl. The cracker in the oil would be hard as a rock and of course the one in the water would be soggy. It's basically just showing that if you use any products on your skin with mineral oil in it, it's not penetrating the skin just sitting on top.

Our products have oil in some of them but they're all plant based which is the best for your skin. Actually all of Arbonne's products are botanically based.

scrapbetter · 03-09-2006, 07:30 AM

You really have to see it to believe it!! YIKES!! I was soooooo freaked out.. I will never buy MK or anything with mineral oil in it every again... NOT just sitting on top... NO WAY....that cracker was scary...It made a loud snap... I never expected that. It was so hard and crunchy... Try it.. You will never put that stuff on your skin again..
UGH! And the stories of MK products making a white milky looking substance ooozze out of the pores.. It takes about two weeks of the Re9 stuff to decontaminate you after all of the mineral oil products... UGH... They could not have picked a better scent for it either..I stick oranges and lemons down my garbage disposal to make my kitchen smell good...
And just to let you know....I ordinarily do not think I would handle being called a BUTTFACE very well....but I guess under these circumstances....I will consider it an honor...

ok.... While I'm shamelessly raving.... My youngest child has eczema pretty bad.. She uses a LOT of elidel and what we call "lube" (basically any lotions that do not make her skin worse...) That arbonne baby lotion is the best... Considering we really "lube" her up good and put her in footy style pj's in the winter to let her soak it in...it has lasted forever!

You can also use the skin conditioning oil on her. My daughter has mild eczema behind her ears and I use that.

I have clients who have psoriasis and I recommended the baby lotion, skin conditioning oil and the rejuvenating cream and although it won't make the condition disappear it's helped them alot.

scrapbetter · 03-09-2006, 07:46 AM

My arbonne rep was awesome...she helped me "win" my first bottle of baby lotion so that I could try it out cause my little one's skin is soooo finicky I was of course not only skeptical, but VERY reluctant to torture her with a new product.. BTW...my poor baby was so bad her first two years that her cute little bottom felt like fine grit sandpaper... Thank goodness its not as bad as it was then..
Hey!! Carolyn....Am I gonna get some kinda Kick Backs for ravin so much?? Just kidding... I will keep buying the stuff till they change it or quit making it for me..

Brutus'mama · 03-09-2006, 07:56 AM

LOL! Bren! You know there is BIG changes coming soon! They're going to be doing their biggest product launch ever. They're trying to keep it a secret but we're kind of assuming it's going to be another superior product line.

So many people are skeptical that's why I try and always have samples on hand so they can try it first.

Speaking of samples I have some of the whole baby line too if anyone wants to try that.

Carolyn,

My son gets these red splotches on his face during the summer. We have used the Eledel that Scrapbetter mentioned and it usually works, but I have to get a prescription for it. Do you think the baby lotion and/or oil will work for him?

Thanks,

Louise

When is the product launch?? I'm also a consultant for a DS company and ours is in April....so I will have to wait till May to crack open my own checkbook..

I only have my regular job for insurance purposes...and to pay for the girls private school tuition and stuff... WHATEVER So just tell me it is not April... May is a good $ month for me.. Taxes paid....furbaby paid for....summer child care only...no tuition payments.. cheap summer clothes for kids.. (Thank GOD for Target...)

Direct Sales... Like Arbonne...Tupperware...Mary Kay...Pampered Chef...Homemade Gourmet...etc...etc...etc....

Does your doctor recommend any other moisturizers? We've kept prescriptions for Elidel and Protopic for Kylie... If it's eczema, the baby lotion might surprise you pleasantly. I was very amazed at how good the stuff is.. It doesn't feel gross when we are rubbing it into her either.. Since it is his face...You will probably want to ask. We have to be more careful with Kylies face. We cannot use the protopic...but I use the Arbonne baby lotion on her face all through winter...She loves it...And her cheeks dont get as crusty... Sorry for any of you who have never dealt with this.. It is not contagious...but pretty pitiful condition..
