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.
Today, The Wellness Company is one of the largest online wellness retailers in North America, serving customers across 20 countries and territories. With over 5,000 Melaleuca Team Members worldwide, we continue to lead the way in innovative health products for weight management and wellness.

Our mission is simple: “To enhance the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals.”
For four decades, The Wellness Company has stayed true to this commitment by providing safer, effective, affordable, higher-quality alternatives to the everyday products consumers already use.

One of America’s Best Stores
Superior products is just one reason why Melaleuca was recognized by USA Today as one of America’s Best Stores. The award highlights top online retailers and brick-and-mortar stores that truly put their customers first by excelling in product quality and safety, website usability, customer service and overall customer experience, shipping, and even the price-to-value ratio for products. USA Today also recognized Melaleuca as one of America’s Most Trusted Brands, further demonstrating that, according to Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot, “when you do things the right way, people take notice.”
R3: A Smarter Approach to Health
Melaleuca’s R3 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 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.
Melaleuca Is Committed to Giving Back
Melaleuca’s mission to enhance lives goes beyond personal health—it’s about making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. Through The Melaleuca Foundation, disaster relief efforts, and ongoing philanthropic initiatives, we are dedicated to enhancing lives—not just through superior products but through acts of service, generosity, and community support.
The Melaleuca Foundation: Enhancing Lives, Restoring Hope
The Melaleuca Foundation is Melaleuca’s charitable arm. Through humanitarian aid and charitable giving, the Melaleuca Foundation supports humanitarian causes, disaster relief efforts, and nonprofit organizations that align with our core values.
- Natural Disaster Relief—Melaleuca has a history of stepping in to provide emergency aid, supplies, and financial assistance during hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. When Hurricane Helene devastated communities, Melaleuca trucks delivered food, hygiene products, and essential supplies to families in need.
- Supporting First Responders & Healthcare Workers—Melaleuca has donated millions of dollars’ worth of wellness products to frontline workers, firefighters, and medical personnel during public health crises.
- Volunteerism—Whether cleaning up the landscape or helping to feed the hungry, Melaleuca Team Members love to show up in the community and make a difference. Team Members volunteered to beautify the city’s beloved River Walk in Melaleuca’s hometown, resulting in the biggest service project in the city’s history. Melaleuca employees have also organized food at food banks, sorted gifts for The Salvation Army, and volunteered at soup kitchens. While these acts of service come with little ado, they are an important lifeline in any community.
- Santa Lucia Children’s Home—Since 2007, Melaleuca has been the sole financial supporter of this orphanage in Ecuador, providing children with food, shelter, education, and a loving home.

Melaleuca’s impact extends far beyond the products we create. We are deeply committed to serving communities, protecting the environment, and empowering individuals to take control of their health, finances, and future.
Whether it’s through our cutting-edge wellness products, our dedication to sustainability, or our commitment to philanthropy, Melaleuca continues to set the standard for what it means to be a company that truly enhances lives.
