Subsidiaries (as defined herein) in order to motivate and align the interests of
such individuals with those of the Company's shareholders, and in connection
therewith, the JCI Board has established the Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc.

----
WHEREAS, to enable JCI to obtain the shares of Common Stock to be
delivered pursuant to options granted under the Plan, the Company and JCI
desire to enter into this warrant agreement (the "Warrant" or the "Agreement")
------- ---------
pursuant to which JCI may purchase an aggregate of 88,000 shares of Common Stock
from the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the
mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
1. Exercise of Warrant. (a) This Warrant may be exercised by JCI,
-------------------
in whole or in part, during normal
business hours on any Business Day, by delivery to the Company of a written form
of subscription acceptable to the Company duly executed by such Holder,
delivered to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in
cash or readily available funds payable to the order of the Company, in the
amount (such amount referred to herein as the "Exercise Price") equal to (i) the
-------------- -
product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased as specified
-
in such written form of subscription (the "Exercise Shares") and (B) the
--------------- -
Purchase Price (as defined herein), plus any capital or other similar tax
----
imposed in connection with the issuance of the Exercise Shares, and the Company
shall deliver to JCI a certificate or certificates representing the Exercise
Shares bearing such legends as the Company shall determine appropriate. Subject
to Section 2, the cumulative maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
that may be purchased by JCI pursuant to this Warrant is 104,020 shares.
(b) As used herein, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
"Applicable Share Valuation" shall mean the annual valuation of the
--------------------------
Common Stock performed as of the last day of the last Fiscal Year ending
prior to the determination date by an independent valuation firm chosen by
the Board, except that, in the case of a determination date occurring
during the fourth fiscal quarter of any Fiscal Year beginning with the
fourth quarter of the 1998 Fiscal Year, the term "Applicable Share
Valuation" shall mean the annual valuation of the Common Stock performed as
of the last day of such fourth fiscal quarter by an independent valuation
firm chosen by the Board. Such annual valuations shall be performed as
promptly as practicable following the end of each Fiscal Year, beginning
with the 1998 Fiscal Year.
"Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or
------------
a day on which commercial
2
banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized by law to be
closed.
"Purchase Price" shall mean, as of any date of determination, the fair
--------------
market value on such date of a share of Common Stock as determined in good
faith by the Board. In making a determination of fair market value, the
Board shall give due consideration to such factors as it deems appropriate,
including, without limitation, the earnings and certain other financial and
operating information of the Company and its subsidiaries in recent
periods, the potential value of the Company and its subsidiaries as a
whole, the future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries and the
industries in which they compete, the history and management of the Company
and its subsidiaries, the general condition of the securities markets, the
fair market value of securities of companies engaged in businesses
similar to those of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Applicable
Share Valuation. The determination of fair market value will not give
effect to any restrictions on transfer of the shares of Common Stock or the
fact that such Common Stock would represent a minority interest in the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a Public Offering, fair
market value shall mean the average of the high and low trading prices for
a share of Common Stock on the primary national exchange (including Nasdaq)
on which the Common Stock is then traded on the trading day immediately
preceding the date as of which such fair market value is determined.
"Fiscal Year" shall mean a fiscal year of the Company ending December
-----------
31.
"Public Offering" shall mean the first day as of which sales of Common
---------------
Stock are made to the public in the United States pursuant to an
underwritten public offering of the Common Stock led by one or more
underwriters at least one of which is an underwriter of nationally
recognized standing.

2. Adjustment of Number of Shares of Common Stock. The number and
----------------------------------------------
class of shares shall be adjusted by the Board to reflect any Common Stock
dividend, stock split or share combination or any recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of
the Company if and to the extent such an adjustment is called for under the
Plan.
3. Restrictions on Transfer. This Warrant may not be transferred or
------------------------
assigned except with the prior written consent of the Company.
4. Reservation of Stock, etc. The Company shall at all times reserve
-------------------------
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant at the time outstanding. All shares of Common Stock
shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise and upon receipt of
the Exercise Price, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully
paid and nonassessable with no liability on the part of the holders thereof.
5. Requirements of Law. The issuance of shares of Common Stock shall
-------------------
be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals
by any governmental agencies or national or foreign securities exchanges as may
be appropriate or required, as determined by the Board. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein or in the Plan, no share of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of this Warrant if such issuance would result in a violation of
applicable law, including the federal securities laws and any applicable state
or foreign securities laws.
6. Governing Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
-------------
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH
PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION).
