Founded in 2019 by Wanda Malhotra, a seasoned wellness entrepreneur, author of Women in Wellness, and certified health coach, Crunchy Mama Box is a global wellness platform dedicated to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.

With over 30 years of experience in the wellness industry, Wanda created Crunchy Mama Box to offer a curated selection of carefully vetted products, services, and educational resources.

Our CMB certification program sets the gold standard for clean, sustainable, and health-conscious brands.

As the name suggests, CMB started as a subscription service offering sustainable products, clean beauty, eco-friendly home goods, and more. Today, we've evolved into a comprehensive global wellness platform. However, the name "Box" still represents our commitment to delivering a carefully curated collection of wellness resources, from rigorously tested products to educational content, recipes, and expert advice.

Not at all! The Crunchy Mama Box ethical marketplace is for anyone committed to living a healthier lifestyle. It features a wide range of products that have been rigorously vetted and CMB Certified. The platform is global, accessible to both brands and customers worldwide who share a passion for beauty, nutrition, health, wellness, sustainability, education and social impact. 

Crunchy Mama Box is international, but not all sellers can ship outside of their countries. Please verify each seller’s shipping policy on their product pages. For more information on our shipping policy, visit this page.
