Currently, all products sold in Thrive’s online boutique can be ordered for pickup. We do not offer shipping or delivery at this time.
Are your products organic?
Thrive has a strict vetting process when sourcing products. Products are purchased with your well-being in mind, and as much as we value the quality of what is in a product, we equally care about what’s not in it; curating a collection of wellness items free from harmful and toxic ingredients is paramount.
Although some may fall under the category of organic, Thrive’s remedies are believed to help transform your everyday routines into meaningful rituals.
In addition, Thrive sources from local, small businesses as much as possible.
