Here at Elix, we’ve always been focused on preserving our planet while healing from the herbs it provides (we’ve been a 1% For The Planet member since Day 1). That’s why we’re so excited to share that, as of September 2021, our herbal formulas are officially Certified Kosher, Vegan Verified, Certified Cruelty-Free, and made with organic and wild crafted herbs.
While our herbs have always been organic, kosher, vegan, and cruelty-free, these formal certifications acknowledge our dedication to transparency and upholding our values to maintain our quality standards into the future.
Why Organic?
In order to create effective herbal supplements, we must source pure, organic and wild crafted herbals of the absolute highest quality. Organic means our ingredients are free of chemicals, pesticides, and growth hormones, it also represents a more sustainable approach to agriculture that supports the health of our planet.
Why Kosher?
Rooted in Jewish culture and religion, Kosher guidelines represent some of the highest standards for food purity, quality, and ethics—values that people of all backgrounds can appreciate. Being Certified Kosher means our formulas, facilities, and manufacturing processes consistently adhere to extraordinarily strict requirements for cleanliness, purity, and quality.
Why Vegan & Cruelty-Free?
In addition to making Elix formulas accessible to people of all diets, philosophies, and values systems, we are focused on minimizing our impact on the environment—which of course includes the animal kingdom. Our formulas are 100% plant-based, which means animals and animal products are never used in any of our processes.
Why 1 Percent For The Planet?
We are endlessly grateful for all that Mother Earth provides, and feel it’s our duty to repay her bounty in kind. That’s why every year, we donate 1% of annual sales (not just revenue!) to environmental causes. In 2019, we chose to contribute to Seeding Sovereignty, an Indigenous-led collective focused on supporting food sovereignty work and the cultural preservation of the global majority.
Your decision to purchase Elix is an investment in your health, as well as an investment in us—and we take our role as your partner-in-wellness very seriously. With our community top of mind, we’re constantly working to create uncompromised natural supplements that support a supply chain we believe in, providing you with nothing less than the highest quality ingredients and the most eco-friendly processes.
With love & gratitude,
Team Elix
