HealthPost is Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest independent online retailer of natural wellbeing with a vision to have a lasting, positive impact on people and planet. We're a family-owned Kiwi business, founded 35 years ago to help people live naturally healthy lives. And that ethos holds true today. With a dedicated team of 90+, we are the largest employer in our small community, and we naturally put people and the planet at the heart of every decision we make. As well as being B Corp certified, we are Zero Carbon (Ekos) certified. We also have our industry’s most rigorous independent product standards for quality, efficacy, transparency, and ethical business practices. Our ‘own brand’ of natural health products, BioBalance, was the first supplement brand in Australasia to become a B Corp! You can use our ‘Shop Your Way’ filter to find all the B Corps in our 6000+ product range (or filter by other social and environmental attributes you care about). We deliver on our vision to make a positive impact every day, including through our HealthPost Nature Trust, where we’ve established an Ecosanctuary for threatened species. Whether it’s caring for our customers, raising the bar in our industry, or restoring biodiversity in our backyard.
