10 ethical questions we ask before stocking our shelves
New brands:
- Can they provide proof of their values, and how do they share this with their customers?
- How engaged are they with being on a journey to doing better?
- Can they provide evidence of supply chain transparency and ethical trade?
- What certifications do they hold? E.g. Certified B Corp, Certified Organic, NATRUE, Certified vegan
- If they’re an international brand, is there a local brand we can support instead?
New products:
-
Are the products manufactured to high standards?
-
Do the ingredients meet our strict standards and are they sourced ethically and transparently?
-
Are they following legislative guidelines for marketing claims and amounts of allowable ingredients for their products so that the customer's safety is top of mind and there is a high level of social responsibility?
-
Are they delivering higher quality or more sustainable options than what’s currently available on the market?
-
Are the formula & ingredients well researched and appropriate for the intended use?
Healthy products backed by
ethical values
Mindful Brands
Our Mindful Values guide our daily choices – to make sure we’re always mindful of nature, people, materials, and that these choices are always transparent. That’s why we created Mindful Brands, so you can shop brands that share your values too.
Shop Your Way
You're one of a kind, so we’ve made it easy to shop your way with our 40+ filters. If you’re looking for products that are carbon neutral, vegan, New Zealand made, organic or more, you can Shop Your Way, by your values.
Our standards. Your standards.
Marine Sustainability Policy
We care deeply about the health of our oceans, so we only stock fish and krill oil products that are independently certified as being sustainably sourced.
No Surprise Sugars
We’re sweet on nature, not on sugar. You won’t find any surprise sugars hidden where they shouldn’t be – not in your supplements or protein powders.
Independently tested sunscreen
We're thrilled to see NZ law change in 2022, requiring all sunscreen to be independently tested. Something we've been committed to since 2018, and we'll continue to raise the bar for more ethical and effective sunscreen.
Plastic-free tea bags
All of our tea bags are free from every kind of plastic – including micro and nano plastics, so they’re safer for your health and our planet.
Like you, we mind whether we’re making a difference.
That’s why we continue to ask the hard questions and collaborate with leaders to
raise ethical standards across our industry.
