About Melaleuca: The Wellness Company
A Legacy of Wellness
Melaleuca: The Wellness Company is a manufacturer and distributor of hundreds of household products, and for 40 years, we have been a leader in the health and wellness industry. We are dedicated to helping our customers achieve their best health, build energy, and take control of their fitness goals.
Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot founded the company in 1985. What began as eight products featuring the natural benefits of Melaleuca Oil has evolved into a comprehensive portfolio of more than 400 scientifically backed health and wellness products shipped to two million households worldwide. Product categories include nutrition and supplements, personal care, home cleaning, laundry, cosmetics, baby care, and essential oils.
Although we have operations in 20 countries and territories, our global headquarters are still in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where we began. Melaleuca also has distribution facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Kansas City, Missouri. We are proudly American, and both of our call centers are located in Idaho. We support American manufacturing and American workers, and virtually all of Melaleuca’s wellness products are manufactured in the United States.

The R3 Weight Loss Program: A Smarter Approach to Health
Melaleuca’s R3 Weight Loss Program isn’t just another diet plan. It was carefully crafted over years of research by Melaleuca’s Director of R3, Susan Torborg. R3 teaches you how to reset your metabolism, make healthier food choices, and develop lasting habits that will set you up for long-term success. Backed by research, R3 follows a simple three-phase approach:
- Reset—Balance your blood sugar and reduce cravings
- Reintroduce—Learn how to incorporate a sustainable, healthy diet
- Real Life—Maintain your results and enjoy a healthy relationship with your favorite foods without setbacks
Unlike other weight loss programs, R3 doesn’t make you count calories, keep a food journal, use restrictive meal kits, or chain yourself to expensive subscriptions. R3 is designed to give real people real results in real life.
