Contact Sabrina Thome About Us Sunday Natural emerged from a long‑standing passion and research in the fields of health, healing, and personal growth. The lack of natural, high‑quality products on the market was the original motivation for founding Sunday Natural in 2013. We aim to produce the products we ourselves would love to buy – as natural as possible, absolutely pure, free from any additives, and of the highest quality. In a strategic partnership with CVC, Sunday Natural is now one of Germany's most renowned quality manufacturers, with its own research and development department in Berlin. For the continuous improvement of our products, we collaborate with selected research institutes, scientists, therapists, farmers, and professional associations. We take our ecological responsibility very seriously: that’s why the majority of our product range is vegan. We also take an innovative approach to packaging: most of our products are packaged in glass, making them almost entirely recyclable. Our diverse team in Berlin consists of over 290 employees from more than 40 nationalities and continues to grow – but at a sustainable pace. Our goal is to foster a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive work environment with a diverse group of motivated, talented, and visionary team members. We highly value equality of opportunity and inclusivity, and we would like to particularly encourage women and candidates from under‑represented backgrounds to apply, even if you don’t match with 100% of the requirements. #J-18808-Ljbffr
