We Are Making a Difference Here

When Barb’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, she and Matt were advised to remove hormone-disrupting products from their home. She had no idea how many of the products they were using were toxic—including laundry products, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, personal care items, and more.

“Immediately, I began shopping for safer products where I could,” she says. “But I was paying a lot more for them, and half the time they didn’t work as well.”

Although Barb had shopped with Melaleuca during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she hadn’t initially explored everything Melaleuca could offer as both a store and a business opportunity. This time, she went all in.

“When I fully discovered Melaleuca, I was blown away that it was a one-stop shop where I could find healthier alternatives for the products I needed at much lower prices,” she says.

Referring others to the products she used and loved just made sense. “After losing my mom, showing others how to remove the toxins from their homes felt purposeful to me,” she says.

Barb had also spent years spinning her wheels in the MLM industry. This experience made her even more aware of how unique Melaleuca was.

“I was blown away by Melaleuca’s business model,” she says. “This company has real integrity. It feels so rewarding to know that I’m making a positive impact on the people around me.”

Her belief in Melaleuca shines in every word—an authenticity that has inspired friends, family, and strangers to switch their own homes over to safer products.

“As consumers, we often have blind trust in brands we grew up seeing used all around us,” she says. “I had never really considered what was in the products we used before my mom got sick. When you know better, you do better.”

Learning about the health benefits of using safer products has made Barb even more passionate to share Melaleuca with members of her community.

“Think of it this way: People need what we have here,” she says. “Most of our products are monthly—if not weekly—necessities. We’re not selling products to someone, we’re simply coming from the perspective of a friend beside them saying, ‘Hey, I’m a customer here too, and I just want to share something you might not know about. No worries if you say no, but these products and this business model have changed our lives in countless ways. I think it could change yours too.’”

Ultimately, Barb’s faith guides her in everything she does. She firmly believes it led her to Melaleuca.

“I know God created each and every one of us with purpose,” she says. “Through Melaleuca, I get to help others find purpose and make a positive impact. We are all made for more, and Melaleuca can be a vehicle that helps us shine our lights in this world.”
