About Us...

Our Philosophy

We wonder a lot about how you feel.

Our mission is to inspire well-being by connecting people to honest, healthy solutions. We are committed to providing resources designed to enhance the body’s self-healing mechanisms and unlock your human potential. We think of Wonderfeel as a movement empowering our customers with their own way to wellness.

Who We Are

Our world renowned team of experts.

Founded in San Francisco, our team of pioneering doctors, researchers, formulators and educators set about to create next-generation wellness products. While our backgrounds are quite different, our values are very much aligned.

We are committed to innovation. Our scientific methods are backed by clinical evidence which guide the development of our products. We maintain open and curious minds about all modalities of healing, with the belief that prevention is always better than waiting for symptoms to arise. Understanding how you think and feel about your own well-being helps us to formulate solutions that address your specific needs. We want to hear from you.

Everything we make comes from conscientiously grown ingredients that are tested for purity and consistency. We are firmly committed to transparency, providing third party lab results for every CBD product we develop.

Our Approach

Wellness exists not only in the body, but all around us.

For a true state of wellness to exist, mind and body and environment must be aligned in health. That's why the purity of our products and sustainability of our packaging are crucial to our mission. We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that our CBD is of the highest quality – extracted from non-GMO hemp grown using organic practices in North America by farmers who don't use pesticides.

After testing every batch for consistency we package it minimally with sustainable materials that can be recycled or returned to the earth when finished.

We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that our CBD is of the highest quality - extracted from organic-certified, non-GMO hemp grown in North America by farmers who don't use pesticides.

After testing every batch for consistency we package it minimally with sustainable materials that can be recycled or returned to the earth when finished.

We won’t stop looking for solutions.

All of our products are thoughtfully developed to use the smallest amount of materials with the smallest amount of waste from the beginning of our design process.

But it turns out that making a 100% sustainable product isn't as easy or common as you would think. New materials, such as bioplastics, are made from vegetable sources, and are a great alternative, but not many manufacturers are feeling the pressure to get them into production. There are only a few sources worldwide that are aligned with our goal to be 100% compostable, biodegradable, or, at the very least, recyclable. These are the sources we have pursued for our packaging.

Here's what we've been able to achieve thus far. The bags that contain our healthy CBD snacks are 100% PLA, a bioplastic made from plant starch. They are not lined with foil or other unsustainable materials. We've even sourced compostable labeling including adhesives. Our tincture bottles are recyclable glass with recyclable labeling. We are determined to eliminate single-use plastics at every turn in our production process.

Your product is shipped in 100% compostable, post-consumer waste or recyclable packaging, custom sized, not any bigger than it needs to be. They don’t weigh more than they have to, and don’t use any more materials than absolutely necessary.

Sure, all of this is more expensive, and that’s why most companies skimp here in favor of a slightly higher profit margin. At Wonderfeel we are committed to protecting our environment and we’re hoping you are too.

Giving Back

Helping homeless youth with every purchase you make.

We've teamed up with StandUp for Kids, a national, non-profit organization dedicated to ending the cycle of youth homelessness in local communities like yours. Since 1990 they have served homeless and at-risk youth, ages 12 - 24, and provided them with a sense of safety, hope, and belonging through housing, mentoring, drop-in centers, and street outreach. A trusted organization, they hold the highest rating through Charity Navigator.

We pledge to donate a portion of our profits in support of their efforts. Investing in your health feels great, but paying it forward to kids in need is what we call Wonderfeel!
