For us, sustainability encompasses more than the environment—an ethos that focuses as much on innovations in packaging as cultivating a resilient ecosystem of people working towards a shared mission.

We think in systems—from our practices to our products. We embrace progress in place of perfection and challenge ourselves to expand what “sustainable” can mean.

Materials Catalogue

We take our responsibility as a consumer health company seriously, and it is with great self-awareness that we work to find materials and processes that lessen our impact. In pursuit of better design, we collaborate across disciplines, areas of research, and continents to thoughtfully create packaging systems that protect your probiotics and respect our planet.1

SeedLabs

Inspired by our belief that health is not just human, our research encompasses ecologies beyond the body. We founded SeedLabs to partner in collaboration with kindred innovators to develop novel applications of bacteria to enhance biodiversity and recover ecosystems impacted by human activity.

Carbon Emissions Measurement

We are actively auditing and measuring our carbon footprint in partnership with Planet FWD, prioritizing ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2019, we have invested in nature-based and engineered solutions for carbon sequestration, removal, and mitigation.

How We Work

As a growing company, we incessantly pursue ways to work, collaborate, communicate, listen, cultivate a broad spectrum of perspectives, and structure time in order to honor our collective goals and prioritize the health of our team. From how we #slack, to our expectations of ownership to our non-negotiable value of Give a sh*t, we know that question-asking and shifting perspectives is necessary for us to make the impact we strive for in the world.

Business Model

We accelerate the accessibility and impact of breakthrough science through our Seed Health universe, where our consumer innovations are powered by  research programs in critical areas of human and planetary health and accompanied by culture-shifting communication and education.

Vaginal Health

Inadequate funding and research have stifled progress and left critical gaps in vaginal care for far too long. We’re changing that. Our long-standing partnerships with leading experts in the vaginal microbiome field have enabled groundbreaking advancements aimed at addressing the unmet medical needs of millions around the globe.Inadequate funding and research have stifled progress and left critical gaps in vaginal care for far too long.

Science Education + Communication

With the guiding tenet, “Science is not finished until it is communicated,” we believe science cannot realize its full impact if it’s not accessible. Our meet-them-where-they-are ethos inspires us to create unique ways for this new field of science to educate and inform the choices we make each day.
