Brand Book
Success Tools Training Series
It’s A Brand New Day!
The Arbonne Brand Book articulates the distinctive details and power of our brand
to help you proudly and passionately sell Arbonne — a brand with unlimited potential
whose time is now. The Brand Book is a great guide to help you better understand the
Arbonne brand so that you can create consistent, shareable content for presentations,
flyers, social media or business tools, and ultimately share the Arbonne experience,
opportunity and products with prospects or anyone in your network.
In order to remain a great brand, there must be a common purpose and a consistent
look and feel shared throughout the Arbonne community. The brand must have one
voice that is identifiable, such as images that when seen instantly make the viewer
think Arbonne. From the iconic tree to the Arbonne Independent Consultant logo,
consistently sharing information with the correct font, colors and messaging allows you
to help grow Arbonne brand recognition in the most positive way.
Inside, you will find our mission statement, brand attributes, font usage, color palette
and core values that can help you represent Arbonne as it was intended to be known
and shared.
Immerse yourself in the words and phrases that will help you describe the feeling and
experience that is Arbonne: pure products… pure lifestyle… pure joy. Then it’s up to you
to determine how this will guide your Arbonne branding strategy for your business. Make
sure your business identity is aligned with and representative of the Arbonne brand.

Arbonne means beautiful tree.
First and foremost a brand is a promise. There must always
be a tangible, reliable product or service that is delivered if the
brand is going to succeed in the marketplace.
Great brands know who they are and behave as such,
consistently delivering their promise, yet constantly evolving to
stay relevant and meaningful. Great brands never sit still. They
thrive by embedding themselves in the culture and becoming
an integral part of our lives.
~ World’s Greatest Brands
In order to remain a great brand, there must be a common
purpose and a consistent look and feel shared throughout
the Arbonne community.
This book was put together to help you proudly and
passionately share Arbonne.
Why Branding
We like to think of Arbonne as a brand that
was born in Switzerland and raised in Laguna
Beach, California. Our story begins in 1980
with our founder, Petter Mørck. His dream
was to create a premium brand with a Swiss heritage
and the promise of pure, safe, and beneficial products.
By combining the best of science with the best of what
Mother Nature had to offer, Arbonne’s line of botanically
based products expanded from skincare into cosmetics
and nutritional products, all designed to help people live
healthier, happier lives. All Arbonne products are sold by a
global community of Independent Consultants, who have
chosen to operate their businesses outside the confines
of the traditional office environment. These passionate
leaders have been able to not only transform their own
lives, but the lives of countless others. And being able to
experience this Pure Transformation has joyfully brought
Petter Mørck’s dream to life for thousands of individuals.
Who is Arbonne
People are terrific.
Business is great.
Life is wonderful!
Petter Mørck
Switzerland has long been associated with
great skincare, and our founder was deeply
inspired by the superior European standards.
These included technologically advanced,
results oriented ingredients, as well as high
quality luxurious textures. Today we maintain
these standards of excellence which continue
to inspire every product we develop.
Here is a simple paragraph or elevator statement
anyone can use to describe Arbonne.
Arbonne creates an outstanding business opportunity
to transform your life and the lives of those around
you. We do this by offering pure, botanically based
ingredients in scientifically tested products, a pure
healthy lifestyle, and the pure joy of helping others.

The best of science and nature.
It’s not what a brand does or how it does it
that makes a brand successful. It’s Why.
Why is your belief.
Why is your cause.
Why is your purpose.
The Arbonne Why
To transform lives, making the world a
healthier, more joyful place.
The Brand “Why”
The Arbonne community is made up of powerful,
passionate trailblazers from around the world, who
share a common purpose. These are ordinary people
who have become extraordinary leaders — kind,
generous people who have a goal greater than making
money. These authentic, fun-loving individuals make up
a colorful collaborative community dedicated to helping
others succeed and live a better, more joyful life.
Looking at Arbonne from a multi-sensory perspective,
Arbonne is crisp, and clean like the Swiss Alps. Fresh,
as in fresh air… fresh cut grass… freshly fallen snow.
But Arbonne is also warm, friendly and comfortable like
a day at the beach in Southern California.
If the Arbonne brand were a person, this person would
be your best friend, a guiding light, an inspirational force
that stands by you and works with you to create the
most joyful future imaginable for generations to come.
The Arbonne brand personality reflects a beautiful
combination of the timeless virtues of both Petter Mørck
and Mother Nature.
Brand Personality
Petter Mørck
Kind, generous, Norwegian,
a visionary who was definitely
ahead of his time.
Mother Nature
Born from botanicals. A nurturing
earth lover and protector (with a

Earth Mother, is a common personification of nature that

it in the form of a mother. Mother Nature provides us all the
rich botanical goodness and abundance the earth has to
offer. Mother Nature also protects us from harmful elements,
while nurturing the body, mind, and soul.

Like our products and packaging, our primary color
is green. It is the color of nature, symbolizing growth
and balance. We design our product packaging with
a vast array of colors, but our official company brand
will always be green.
Color Me Green
Although our primary color is a beautiful green, on
occasion we need to lighten up. When designing with
large color blocks, it is best to use the lighter version
of the Arbonne green PMS 363C. Smaller areas of
green and our logo should always use our standard
PMS 364 C.

True black is a little harsh for a brand that proves to
be simple, elegant and vibrant. We use an 80% black

Arbonne has a Swiss heritage, so of course our design style
and use of typography would follow. Simplicity is part of
our brand message. Helvetica was selected because it has
a neutral, sans serif design which allows our brand colors,
products and photography to shine through a multitude of
marketing collateral both online and offline.
Always Helvetica
The primary typeface should be used for all printed and online
material. Helvetica Neue LT Std is a sans serif typeface with
Swiss heritage that is available in a wide family of weights and
styles. It works well when used small and also has impact at
larger sizes. Our standard body copy is Helvetica Neue 45
Light. Our standard bold callout is Helvetica Neue 65 Medium.
Unless You Need Arial
For some documents, such as PowerPoint presentations, Word
documents and email, the typeface Arial may be substituted
for Helvetica Neue. Other typefaces may be used as graphics
only when creative concepts require them, only when they are
critical to the authenticity of a specific art direction, and, with
few exceptions, only when they take the form of headlines.
