Arbonne
Arbonne is one of the few international direct-selling companies that have been in business for more than 40 years and still going strong. The company was started in 1980 by Norwegian entrepreneur Petter Mørck, with product lines targeting skincare, cosmetics, and nutrition. From day 1, the company has emphasized safety and sustainability; hence, all products are 100% vegan and healthy.
Although Arbonne's journey to success has been relatively slow, it has been progressive and effective. It can be hugely credited to the company's premium quality product lines and genuine support to its independent distributors. Those include various incentives, acknowledgment and rewards, travel opportunities, and an overall friendly environment that help individuals thrive in their businesses.
Arbonne is a certified B corporation, which means that the company reaches the highest social and environmental performance standards regarding public transparency and legal accountability. The company is also working towards its ten years sustainability goals, which include using renewable electricity across all its offices, reducing plastic packaging to 50%, and producing 100% non-GMO certified nutrition products.
Additionally, Arbonne is also involved in various philanthropic endeavors. The company registered the Arbonne Foundation in 2012 to support charitable causes, aiming to increase self-confidence among teenagers and children. Arbonne is a member of the Direct Selling Association and has recorded annual revenue of $550 million plus as of 2022.

The breakaway plan is used by Arbonne to organize their groups of consultants. In a breakaway plan, also commonly referred to as "a plan within a plan," the Arbonne consultants are paid in two different ways depending on if they have reached a "breakaway rank".
Once a Arbonne leader reaches the breakaway rank, she and her downline form a new unit where she will earn commission based on the rules for her rank. Some compensation plans have multiple breakaway groups that are formed as the consultant hits the rank goals. This is often referred to as a stairstep breakaway plan.
