Melaleuca Downtown Store

If you’ve spent any time in Idaho Falls, chances are you’ve heard the name Melaleuca. Headquartered right here in town, Melaleuca is one of the largest wellness companies in North America—shipping supplements, eco-friendly home cleaners, personal care products, baby care products, cosmetics, and more to millions of customers each month around the world.

Melaleuca’s story began in Idaho Falls, and it has never left. The company was founded in 1985 by Idaho native Frank VanderSloot, who served as the CEO for nearly 40 decades before transitioning to executive chairman. In the beginning, Melaleuca manufactured and sold just eight products. Today, Melaleuca has grown into a global brand with over 400 exclusive wellness products and more than $2 billion in annual sales.

Though Melaleuca is primarily an e-commerce company, it does have a brick-and-mortar store in Idaho Falls for Melaleuca Members who prefer to physically shop for Melaleuca’s wellness products. The company also has stores in Hawaii, Tennessee, and Puerto Rico.

Melaleuca Global Headquarters are located just a few minutes outside the city center, and the company has made a huge impact on the region. With thousands of employees in southeast Idaho, Melaleuca is one of the region’s largest private employers. Melaleuca is also known for its charitable giving; through its charitable arm, the Melaleuca Foundation, the company sends Melaleuca products, supplies, and other humanitarian aid to victims of natural disasters, supports veterans, fights food insecurity, and is the sole financial supporter of an orphanage in Quito, Ecuador.

In 2025, USA Today recognized Melaleuca as a Trusted Brand and and also a Best Store, earning national recognition for its loyal customer base, high-quality products, and longstanding commitment to values.

Visitors to Idaho Falls may also hear Melaleuca’s name during the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration, the largest Independence Day fireworks show west of the Mississippi River. Sponsored annually by Melaleuca, the event draws more than 200,000 spectators and reflects the company’s strong local presence and commitment to veterans and service members. The company’s mission statement is “to enhance the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals.”

So while you’re exploring Idaho Falls—whether taking a stroll along the bustling River Walk, visiting the Museum of Idaho, or heading out to Yellowstone National Park—know that you’re in a town that’s home to more than stunning landscapes. You’re also in the hometown of The Wellness Company. Melaleuca continues to be both a major local employer and a reflection of the entrepreneurial spirit that helps shape the region.
