Santé International is one of the fastest growing distribution and direct selling companies in the Philippines, offering premier organic health and wellness products and services designed to improve the quality of life of Filipinos and other people around the world.
Founded in 2007, Santé International launched the Santé Barley brand during the same year. Its formidable team of leaders is backed by a combined marketing experience of over 50 years.
At Santé International, we continuously build and help drive business growth through our dedicated and independent business owners. Driven by our promise to bring value-added wellness products and services to every home, we are committed to equipping and empowering our business owners who serve as our channel toward promoting healthy and active lifestyle among our consumers.
Santé International aims to help people live a healthier life.
When we first opened our doors in 2007 as a direct selling company, we were faced by a number of challenges. Undaunted, we carried on with our journey, bearing in mind that direct selling, which is our passion, has the power to help people live better lives.
Our unimaginable ascend began after we had gotten to the root of the main issue hindering our success. To succeed, we realized that we needed to combine our commitment to help people with the right product offerings.
In 2007, the year the Santé Barley brand was born, our team learned about the powerful properties of barley grass. The US Food and Drug Administration in a rare move allowed manufacturers of barley-based products to make a claim that their offerings may help reduce the risk of heart disease. During this period, barley-based products had yet to fully pe*****te the Philippine market. In no time, our product development team researched on the wholesome goodness of barley grass. Assured of barley grass’ powerful properties and proven health benefits, we decided to develop a comprehensive selection of everyday barley-based products.
Soon after, sales skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. We scrambled to maintain stock inventory in light of the fast rising demand for our products, fueled by positive testimonies from a growing number of product users. Our branches tripled in number within a year. Business owners started earning beyond their expectations, while requests to bring our products to international markets swamped our hotlines. Our efforts had led to breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough.
True to our commitment, we are now helping people live better and more comfortable lives. Our passion that has kept us going despite the challenges is the same thing that is continuously driving us to forge ahead with even greater resolve.
Today, Santé International and its Santé Barley brand are a force to reckon with in the local health and wellness field.
