The Wellness Mama, Katie Wells, recently released her new line of oral care and hair health products under a new brand name of Wellnesse.
In the age of the paradox of choice, it can be hard for consumers to find the hair products that best suit their type of hair and their specific hair-care needs. Over-saturation in the beauty and upkeep markets means that users might search and search, only to find their curly hair largely underrepresented among popular brands. The struggle is even more clear for users who have specific needs but want to keep their products all-natural.
Wellnesse creates natural hair products with a surprising versatility and variety. Developed by author and podcast personality Katie Wells, Wellnesse offers a number of essential toothpaste and hair products. The main goal of Wellnesse is to create products that are all-natural but maintain the same level of efficiency as popular non-natural brands. Eco-friendliness is another major cornerstone of the philosophy driving Wellness; their products are completely sustainable.
As an example, consider Wellnesse's glycerin-free, fluoride-free, eco-friendly toothpaste, Wellnesse Whitening Toothpaste. Wellnesse claims their toothpaste is “the first natural toothpaste that works as well as traditional toothpaste.”
For the discerning consumer with an eye to the nature of ingredients and source of their products, Wellnesse might just provide a versatile, effective alternative to the problems perpetuated in much of the oral and hair-care industries.

What is Wellnesse?
The Wellness Mama, aka Katie Wells, created Wellnesse natural products that are safe, high quality, and responsibly sourced. The beauty company intends to create sustainable and natural products that can rival the traditional leaders of the hair and oral-care markets – without sacrificing the efficiency of their product line.
According to a recent press release, Wellnesse's main goal is to maximize “economic, environmental, and social value for our customers, communities, and planet” and provide everything your body needs and nothing that you do not when it comes to invigorating personal care products that are GMO-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free and cruelty-free.
“Wellnesse believes that a well-run business can have a tremendous positive impact on the world. That's why Wellnesse has an unwavering commitment to core values in every decision step of the process from supply chain to the final product.”
The newly launched Wellnesse personal care product line is of course an extension of her highly-successful WellnessMama brand she runs at WellnessMama.com where Katie focuses on providing simple answers for healthier families.
Who’s Behind Wellnesse?
Wellnesse was created by author and podcaster Katie Wells (CTNC, MCHC). Wells has written over 1,500 articles and three books, including The Wellness Mama Cookbook and The Wellness Mama 5-Step Lifestyle Detox. Well's was also named one of the 100 most influential people in wellness and health.
Katie Wells is best-known for her Wellness Mama blog and podcast. Wells markets the website as “the most trusted online source for naturally minded moms.” An extended fan-base of mothers seems to support this claim.
Katie Wells is also a mother of six kids. She started publishing DIY recipes online, telling readers how to make soap, shampoo, and other products at home using natural ingredients. Motivated by the success of her blog, Wells decided to launch her own natural products company in January 2020.
