Introducing Melaleuca, The Wellness Company
Melaleuca is a 24-year old consumer direct marketing company that offers green products for your home, body, and health. Melaleuca’s 350 products include cleaning, laundry, vitamins and nutritional supplements, bath and body, hair, oral hygiene, children’s, medicine cabinet, weight-loss and fitness, pet products and skincare and cosmetics. Melaleuca was green long before green was popular. Their products are powered by naturally derived enzymes and natural oils, such as the oil of thyme and Melaleuca (tea tree) oil instead of caustic chemicals like ammonia, chlorine bleach, and phosphates. All products are better for your health, gentler on the environment, and a better value. When Melaleuca started in 1985, they manufactured eight (8) products containing Melaleuca oil. The oil is naturally antiseptic, has fungicidal properties and is very healing for all types of skin conditions. Some people call it a first aid kit in a bottle! The nickname is “tea tree” oil because the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia bush are often dried and brewed for tea. Today, only about 30-50 percent of Melaleuca’s products still contain Melaleuca oil, so you might say that they have outgrown their name.
Melaleuca products have no added cost of retail middlemen, expensive advertising, warehousing or stocking shelves because Melaleuca is the direct source and manufacturer of their products. Customers shop factory direct using a toll-free phone number or the internet. Therefore, quality products are manufactured in the United States and marketed for less money. The savings is passed directly to the customer. Many of the products are concentrated; therefore, the consumer gets more for his/her money, and there is less environmental waste. I personally have been using Melaleuca products for about ten years. I love everything that I use. Having peace of mind knowing that I am using products that are free of toxic chemicals and are safer for everyone in my home is invaluable to me. Melaleuca products do not contain any formaldehyde, or other carcinogens, as so many popular products do.
Following are some of my favorite products.
Ecosense cleaners are inspired by the trees, mountains, rivers, and sunshine. They are highly effective, eco-friendly formulas powered by nature that are safer for your home and a better value for you. One of these products is sol-u-mel. It is a deodorizer, stain remover, antibacterial fighter, and more. Hard to get out stains, even old stains, can be removed with sol-u-mel. You can mix sol-u-mel in a bottle and use it as a room deodorizer. You can put a capful of sol-u-mel in your laundry to remove bacteria from your clothes. You can even put a capful of sol-u-mel in the bucket of water that you wipe your floors up with. Your floors are spotlessly clean and smell nice, because sol-u-mel contains naturally derived solvents like Melaleuca oil. If you are looking for a safe disinfectant that naturally kills 99.9 percent of bacteria, sol-u-guard botanical is your product. You will not endanger your family and pets just to kill bacteria! Renew is another wonderful product sold by Melaleuca. It is intensive dry skin therapy. It has been shown to help skin retain its moisture better and longer that the leading dermatologist-recommended brand. Remember the less moisture your skin loses, the healthier your skin stays and the better it protects you. Clinical studies show that Renew beats the leading “over the counter product” in healing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. PreSpot 4x is another great Melaleuca product. The three main types of stains are protein, starch, and grease, and Pre Spot 4x gets them all out. It is a triple enzyme, non-caustic, ph-neutral formula. The 4x concentration saves money. Another Melaleuca product that I love is their French-milled Bath Bars. French milled is a process that thoroughly mixes the ingredients and presses out excess air so every bath bar is smoother and denser, making them last longer than some other brands that quickly melt down the drain. Light some candles, sink in the tub filled with Melaleuca Bath Bar bubbles and enjoy a relaxing evening.
Following are some customer testimonials about Melaleuca products.
Last week my daughter Jessica delivered her third baby, a boy, in the front seat of my CRV while enroute to the hospital. Carter Rhodes arrived on the shoulder of 695 being caught by his dad. All is well and mom and son are at home doing well. My point is a birth can leave quite a mess in ones car especially if it has fabric seats which mine does. As I had no opportunity to get the car professionally cleaned. I thought Solumel may do the trick sooooo I went to work with the solumel and my wet vac and of course it worked beautifully. All stains and odors were completely eliminated without very much effort. (Becky)
I was making dinner, turned off the stove, a few minutes later, I saw something like salt on the stove top. Not thinking and in a hurry, I put my whole flat hand on the stove top to wipe the salt into my other hand. I burned my right hand so bad, I was in so much pain, it was unreal!! I went and got the melagel and kept putting that on my hand over and over, then I would put the melaleuca oil (T36-C5-which refers to the high quality grade of the oil) on my hand different times. I could not bend my fingers because they were burned so bad, my palm of my hand was red as can be and was starting to blister. Within an hour the pain was gone and the redness was going away. I have no blisters anywhere and my hand was like new the next morning. Hans said that if he was not right next to me and had seen it for himself, it would be hard to believe. Yes, we should have taken a before and after picture, but unfortunately we did not. These stories have to be told so people realize that the melagel and oil should be close by at all times, in case of burns or cuts. (Marlene)
