We started Zero Junk after realising most “healthy” condiments still hide seed oils, sugars and additives. As a chef + nutritionist duo, we rebuilt mayo from the ground up with Simply Real Ingredients: 100% avocado oil, free-range eggs, Dijon mustard, organic apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon and Himalayan salt. Then packed it in recyclable glass. Friends raved, tastings snowballed, and early feedback from local shops/markets told us we were onto something great.

Frequently asked questions
What are the ingredients?

Simply 6: 100% avocado oil, free-range egg, Dijon mustard, organic apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Himalayan salt.

How should I store the mayo?

Always keep refrigerated. After opening, store the jar in the fridge door (the slightly warmer zone) to avoid over-thickening or splitting. Aim for fridge temperature around 4 °C or a bit above. Avoid very cold back/bottom shelves. Natural separation can occur — stir before use.

How long does it last?

Because we add no preservatives, we recommend: Unopened (refrigerated): best within 4 weeks. After opening: best within 2–3 weeks. Always use a clean utensil and reseal promptly.

Is your mayo gluten-free / Keto / Paleo?

Yes — our recipe contains no gluten-containing ingredients and fits Keto and Paleo approaches. (Contains egg and mustard.)

Does your mayo contain sugar, preservatives or seed/“vegetable” oils?

No sugar. No preservatives or fillers. No seed/vegetable oils — our mayo is made with 100% avocado oil.
Are your jars recyclable?

Yes — recyclable glass jar and metal lid. Please rinse and recycle (or upcycle) after use.

Will you add more products?

Yes. We’re expanding thoughtfully into other Simply Real Ingredient condiments, starting with Tomato Sauce (No Added Sugar). Join the waitlist for first access.
