About Melaleuca: The Wellness Company

Since the company’s very beginning, our mission has remained the same: “to enhance the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals.” The Wellness Company and our dedicated Team Members have lived this mission for four decades. Everything we do centers around enhancing lives and improving the overall health and well-being of our customers—both individuals and families—around the world.

When Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot founded Melaleuca: The Wellness Company, we sold only a handful of products. Since then, Melaleuca scientists have been inventing and refining hundreds more products. And today, The Wellness Company offers a full catalog of more than 400 consumer goods products, including vitamins and supplements, nutrition products, personal care products, eco-friendly home cleaning and laundry products, baby care products, cosmetics, and essential oils.

Within the consumer packaged goods industry, Melaleuca is a leader and an innovator. Our scientists are constantly researching ingredients, improving formulas, and considering new products that consumers want and need. Melaleuca holds several patents, including a patent for our Oligo technology, which binds minerals to plant fibers and proteins, making the minerals in our supplements highly absorbable.

Since 2017, The Wellness Company has been generating more than $2 billion in annual revenue. We ship our consumer products to more than 2 million households in 20 countries and territories around the world. Melaleuca customers purchase products online at the company’s website, Melaleuca.com, and the products are shipped directly to their homes.

The Wellness Company is a proud American company. We manufacture nearly all of our products in the United States, with a few manufactured in Canada, our friendly northern neighbor.

Because Melaleuca is a consumer packaged goods company, many of our competitors have been in the business a long time. Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Colgate-Palmolive, Reckitt, Unilever, and more have been doing business for decades longer than Melaleuca—some have been around for more than 100 or even 200 years! Melaleuca: The Wellness Company was founded in 1985, which means we’ve been around for four decades.

But we have something that they don’t have—a mission to enhance lives and create truly superior, safe, affordable, eco-friendly household products. Melaleuca uses only the highest-quality ingredients that are shown to be both safe and effective. Adhering to the Melaleuca product philosophy, we only release products that outperform the competition.

Melaleuca grows through a unique referral program, which means we don’t spend money on traditional forms of advertisement, celebrity endorsements, and retail space. And being a privately owned company also means that we aren’t beholden to shareholders who are only concerned with making a profit. Instead, we invest into research and development for our products. And our products ship directly to our customers’ doorsteps—our relationship is with our customers, not retailers, and it shows.

Melaleuca has an amazing 96% monthly reorder rate, which means that 96% of Melaleuca customers who ordered from us this month will order from us again next month.

That’s because our customers know that our products really do stand out from the typical brands they find at grocery stores. And since we don’t rely on traditional advertising, we rely on our customers to spread the word about Melaleuca’s consumer products. Their enthusiasm for Melaleuca products, such as Renew Lotion, fuels Melaleuca’s growth.
