We’re proud to support multigenerational farming families like the Christensens, who grow peppermint on their family farm along the Snake River in Idaho. The plants are then steam distilled into bottles of Pure ™ Peppermint Essential Oil .
Benefits of Concentration Choosing to not ship excess water benefits both the customer and the world around us: • Less plastic is used for each bottle of concentrate. • Reusable spray bottles reduce an impressive amount of plastic waste. One bottle of concentrate makes six standard spray bottles. • Reduced shipping weight translates into huge savings in fuel, which results in less greenhouse gases being produced. • Reduced shipping volume allows us to deliver your products in smaller boxes, which saves cardboard and also allows more boxes to be loaded into each truck for shipping to customers.
until regulations force them to drop harmful ingredients, we at Melaleuca take pride in our legacy of leadership. We never use ingredients like phthalates, parabens, or formaldehyde. And we were years ahead of competitors in offering safer cleaners that don’t contain chlorine bleach, ammonia, or quaternary disinfectants. Melaleuca has known for years that toxic chemical ingredients in home cleaning products take a toll on the health of those who clean with them. And in 2018, a decades-long independent study proved that using national brand cleaning products as little as once a week can cause as much damage to lung capacity as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years. Some of our products, particularly the cleaners, are mixed and washed away. In this case, we take care to use the most
biodegradable ingredients possible. You want results, and we want to deliver them. But we also want to make sure the wastewater is safe because it ultimately feeds back into the same system that sustains us all. Innovative Design Melaleuca was a pioneer in product concentration years before it caught on with national brands. Part of our innovative edge comes from a willingness to redesign our products and packaging as technology and materials change. In our EcoSense ® cleaning line, products have increased in concentration over the years to the current 12x standard. It takes our scientists years of work to invent new formulation methods for each advance. But our goal is to continually improve our products wherever possible.
