About the Company
- 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 350 employees from more than 45 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.
Equal Opportunity
- 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.
