Green Story

After years teaching first and second grade, in 2002, Lynne Ganley – two young children in tow and another on the way – decided to strike out on her own. Committed to fostering a career that would allow her to be with her family and inspired by an Arbonne presentation given at the home of a friend, Ganley became an Independent Consultant for the green-minded company shortly thereafter.

Touting the motto “Pure, Safe, Beneficial,” Arbonne’s botanically based products – everything from toothpaste to baby lotions to anti-aging creams – are as earth-friendly as they are human healthy. Whether it’s the 90% recyclable packaging, the plant-based ingredients, or the manner in which they’re shipped, Arbonne’s entire business model is built on the ethics of sustainability. Earlier this year, the company re-launched its entire line, with the result being a 50% reduction in the amount of materials used. Their carbon neutral shipping option –fostered with the help of UPS – is second to none, and 80% of their printed materials utilize soy-based inks.

Indeed, it didn’t take long for Ganley – university versed in early childhood development and family studies – to discover that she’d finally found a company that truly represented what she believed in. Ten years after joining Arbonne’s ranks, Ganley is proud to say that she’s achieved that delicate balancing act.

“One of the biggest things for me was that Arbonne is and has always been a company committed to women like me, who want to have a career but who also want to be there to watch their kids grow up,” exclaims Ganley. “Since then, I’ve been on a mission to educate as many people as possible to help get the word out about products that are safe, effective, and gentle on the planet.”
