The Wellness Company
Total Wellness: An Approach to a Better Life!
Why Melaleuca Is “The Wellness Company”
Melaleuca: The Wellness Company is an online retailer that manufactures and distributes more than 400 health and wellness products. With these exclusive products, and through our other solutions, our customers improve in multiple areas of wellness and lead healthier, more vibrant lives. Melaleuca is The Wellness Company because we create and promote wellness, not just physically but in every aspect of life. As important as physical wellness is, we know much more is required for a truly great life!
What began as a small startup with eight products and a handful of employees has grown into a $2 billion global operation. Headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, The Wellness Company is one of the largest online consumer packaged goods companies in North America. Each month, the company ships its wellness products directly to millions of individuals in 20 countries and territories around the world.
The company was founded in 1985 by Frank VanderSloot, who served as the company’s CEO for 37 years before transitioning to Executive Chairman of the Board. “To truly have a happy, healthy, and productive life, we need to be healthy in all aspects,” says Frank. “We should strive not only for physical health, but to be healthy financially, socially, intellectually, and spiritually as well.”
The Seven Areas of Wellness
At Melaleuca, we see wellness not as a finish line, but as a lifelong journey toward living better and becoming our best selves. True wellness touches every part of who we are—physical, social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, financial, and intellectual.
We believe in a well-rounded approach, one that’s not one-size-fits-all, but thoughtfully balanced and tailored to fit the unique path of every Member we serve.
The Wellness Company = Total Wellness
Melaleuca: The Wellness Company doesn’t just sell health products—we educate on and provide guidance and support for total wellness across every area of life. That includes physical, mental, intellectual, social, environmental, financial, and even spiritual wellness. From nutrition education and weight management to social connection and financial empowerment, The Wellness Company offers tools, resources, and an engaging community to help our customers thrive.
Assistance like the R3 Weight Loss Program help customers improve their relationship with food, build confidence, and create sustainable wellness habits. With TEAM MELALEUCA, the world’s largest indoor rowing club, members find motivation, accountability, and plenty of encouragement through a supportive online community. Workshops and leadership training sessions at Melaleuca events provide hands-on guidance for living a healthier, more vibrant life.
Behind the scenes, our world-class R&D team continues to innovate with safer, more effective, eco-friendly ingredients—fueling our portfolio of wellness products for your body and mind. And through our monthly newsletters, magazines, and communications, customers gain expert insight on a range of topics, from fitness and nutrition to finances, parenting, and product education.
