Arbonne International Donates More Than $4.7 Million Dollars in Product to Operation Gratitude

IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Arbonne International announced today that it has made a charitable donation of
approximately 1.5 million personal care products-with a retail value of nearly
$4.75 million dollars-to Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization that
sends care packages to the U.S. military. This donation is the largest Operation
Gratitude has received from a corporate sponsor to date and follows a $642,000
donation Arbonne made to the organization in May. Arbonne, headquartered in
Irvine, California, formulates botanically based, scientifically advanced
beauty, health and wellness products, distributed through an international
network of Independent Consultants.

"We`re honored to donate Arbonne skin care products to Operation Gratitude to
improve the lives of the brave men and women who are serving in the military
overseas," said Rita Davenport, Arbonne President. "They fight to preserve our
freedom and way of life and we owe them a debt of gratitude. We hope these
products show our appreciation for their service to this country, and far beyond
our borders. We know these products will help protect them from the harsh
elements. Arbonne thanks you and salutes you!"

Operation Gratitude (www.OperationGratitude.com ) is the 501 (c) (3) non-profit,
volunteer organization that annually sends 100,000+ care packages filled with
snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to
individual U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions. The organization`s
mission is to lift morale and express to all Armed Forces the appreciation and
support of the American people. Each package contains donated product valued at
~$100 and costs the organization $11 to assemble and ship. By the end of 2009,
Operation Gratitude will have shipped more than 500,000 packages to American
Military deployed overseas.
