Clean Cult Launches Category-First Packaging at Whole Foods

Clean Cult has launched across four Whole Foods Market regions, bringing refillable, low-waste home care to the retailer.

The partnership signals the next chapter in both companies’ commitment to sustainable packaging solutions —introducing paper-based refill cartons and aluminum bottles into the home cleaning aisle.

As one of the first brands to introduce aluminum bottles and paper-based cleaning cartons in these categories at Whole Foods Market, Clean Cult’s arrival represents a significant retail milestone and a shift in how sustainability shows up in everyday grocery aisles.

“We built Clean Cult to prove that responsible design and high performance can go hand in hand,” said Ryan Lupberger, CEO and cofounder of Clean Cult. “Teaming up with Whole Foods Market helps bring that mission to more homes and makes plastic reduction an everyday habit without sacrifice.”

Proven Sustainability

To meet Whole Foods Market’s high ingredient and performance standards, Clean Cult underwent a rigorous vetting process that included transparency, efficacy testing and biodegradability requirements. Now Green Seal Certified, Clean Cult delivers proven sustainability and high-performance cleaning backed by testing.

“Our customers care deeply about what’s in their products and what’s not,” said Ruby Rios, senior category merchant at Whole Foods Market. “I’m especially excited to launch Clean Cult because it brings something new to the household essentials aisle—convenient, low-waste design paired with clean, effective formulas. It’s the kind of packaging innovation and ingredient integrity we’re proud to put on our shelves.”

The initial rollout spans four strategically selected Whole Foods Market regions—Northeast, Rocky Mountain, South Pacific and Northern California—markets known for eco-conscious shoppers and progressive retail leadership.

Shoppers across these regions can now find Clean Cult’s best-selling products on shelves at select stores, including Fresh Linen and Lavender Laundry Sheets; Juniper Sandalwood and Lavender Liquid Laundry Detergent Cartons; Fresh Rain and Lemon Zest Dish Soaps in both ready-to-use aluminum bottles and paper-based refill cartons.
