Our Story
Our story is a celebration of native Australian botanicals through everyday skincare.
Natural Skincare Australia is about giving Aussie consumers a unique way to connect with our traditional and modern day native ingredients through our eco-conscious, luxurious handbatched skincare.
reflects a journey into simple, true to nature skincare, embracing core values of Purity, Integrity, Quality & Innovation.
is evoked from our ancient botanical biodiversity and unique beauty of Australia – a land of extreme elements, dramatic landscape and incredible unique native flora that symbolises the ‘raw essence’ of Australia.
is to create Australian skincare that offers a cleaner, more sustainable beauty range. We buy everything we need only from Australian businesses, as these connections with Aussie growers, manufacturers and suppliers supports not only our local communities, it means you can choose to buy local skincare that reconnects us all to country and the cycle of nature.
Reconnecting to the cycle of Nature
The unique integration of Native Cellular Extracts in our products contain 100% active phyto nutrients, effectively ‘Nature’s blueprint’, resulting in superior potency and bio-activity.
Read more about our Native Cellular Extracts here.CLEAN BEAUTY COMMITMENT: Our small batch products are hand crafted with passion to maintain absolute freshness, quality and clean ingredients. Every bottle is infused with the extraordinary lifeforce of our diverse ‘botanical backyard’, wild harvested or organically sourced from ancient rainforests, arid desert plains of ochre red earth and untouched pristine coastlines.
Our products may vary slightly in colour, texture and fragrance from batch to batch based on the season and region our beautiful botanical extracts and oils are harvested from. This does not impact the efficacy of the product as each contains the same amount of active ingredients, which are used generously (not insignificant amounts), for maximum effect.
We only use Australian suppliers that source high quality ingredients both ethically and sustainably, that do not have negative environmental impacts nor pose environmental hazards after use.
CRUELTY-FREE: Our formulas are only tested on humans, not animals, nor do we use ingredients that are tested on animals.
VEGAN: The majority of our products are vegan friendly, with the exception of our balms containing beeswax, which is only harvested ethically.
WORKING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY: By creating multi-functional, multipurpose beauty, we aim to bring sustainability to the consumer, reducing the need for multiple personal care beauty products - small steps in our daily journey towards reducing and improving our carbon footprint.
REFILL-REUSE-REDUCE-RECYCLE: We currently offer a selection of refills, some using biodegradable bags (for powders) or plastic pouches (for liquids). Until recently, the latter were able to be recycled through the REDCYCLE program, however this is currently unavailable. Our refill pouches still remain a great 'reduced plastic' option than whole bottles/jars, resulting in less landfill.
Alternatively, we encourage you to return your empty bottles for recycling via 'BeautyCycle' - a partnership between David Jones and TerraCycle
ECO-PACKAGING: We are committed to actively reducing our reliance on unecessary plastic packaging, without compromising formula efficacy and shelf life. Our overall packaging solutions are designed to be environmentally friendly as possible. The majority of our products are bottled in recyclable/reusable/refillable glass or PET containers, which offer a ‘safer’ solution for your bathroom/shower as well as being a lightweight option to reduce our carbon footprint during shipping.
We choose to use GEAMI kraft paper instead of bubble wrap to wrap our products. This paper is reusable, recyclable, compostable and is sustainably sourced further reducing the carbon footprint of your order.
Our box fill is called Bio-Fill and is 100% biodegradable made from potato and corn starch. It can completely dissolve in water leaving no harmful resides or can be disposed of with household rubbish as it completely breaks down.
Our cardboard boxes can be reused, repurposed or recycled whilst our post satchels are fully compostable.
KEEPING IT LOCAL: All our products are formulated, bottled and packaged in Australia, with options to refill/reuse/recycle your existing jar or bottle, in order to reduce packaging on repeat purchases before being ultimately recycled.
