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 naturally as possible—absolutely pure, free from any additives and of the highest quality.

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 do not match 100 % of the requirements.
