Natio

Natio is Latin for creation, and the ancient name for the goddess of nature. The brand has been Melbourne based and family owned since 1993, building a plant based range that now runs from the Aromatherapy skincare it started with through to the Blur makeup line, Australian suncare and a soy candle and diffuser collection. Cruelty free accredited since 1996.

Why Natio

Plant based, honestly described

Natio combine plant extracts and essential oils with the cosmetic science needed to make a formula stable. They say so plainly rather than claiming to be wholly natural, and every listing we publish carries the full ingredient list from their own records.

Cruelty free since 1996

Accredited by Choose Cruelty Free for nearly thirty years. No animal testing, by Natio or on their behalf, and synthetic fibres in the brushes and mascara wands.

Australian and family owned

Founded in Melbourne in 1993 and still run by the same family. Most of the range is made in Australia, from the Aromatherapy skincare that built the brand to the Blur makeup line and the soy candles.

Frequently Asked Questions about Natio

Is Natio cruelty free?

Yes. Natio oppose animal testing and do not conduct it or ask anyone to do it on their behalf, and they have been accredited by Choose Cruelty Free, the Australian screening body, since 1996.

Are Natio products vegan?

Mostly, but not entirely. The skincare, body care and fragrance ranges are largely free of animal by-products, though some products contain honey or beeswax, and a few makeup items contain lanolin or beeswax. The brushes and mascara wands use synthetic fibres. Where an ingredient could come from either a plant or an animal, such as glycerin or squalene, Natio source the plant version. The ingredient list on each of our listings is the place to check.

Are Natio products 100% natural?

No, and Natio are straightforward about it. The skincare is primarily plant based, but they combine plant extracts with modern cosmetic science because a wholly natural formula would compromise performance and stability. They use stabilisers so the product keeps working to the last of the bottle.

Where do I find the ingredients?

On every one of our Natio listings, under Ingredients. We take the full INCI from Natio's own product record. It is on the back of most packs too, though a few colour makeup items are simply too small to print it.

Which Natio range suits my skin?

The plant extracts and essential oils at the heart of the formulas make them gentle enough for most skin types. Calm is the fragrance-free range for delicate skin, Clear is aimed at oil and shine, Ageless at firmness, and Aromatherapy is the long-standing everyday line. Ask our team in store if you want a hand narrowing it down.

Does Natio use palm oil?

Pure palm kernel oil was removed from their formulations some time ago. Some products still contain palm oil derivatives, and Natio source those only from suppliers belonging to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.

Is Natio Australian?

Yes, and still family owned. Founded in 1993, the name is Latin for creation and the ancient name for the goddess of nature. Most of the range is made in Australia, and the pack says so where it is.

Are the candles and diffusers the same brand?

They are. Natio's home fragrance sits alongside the skincare: soy wax candles with a lead-free cotton wick, and reed diffusers in tinted ribbed glass. Four scents, Adore, Bliss, Cherish and Happy, with a matching candle and diffuser in each.
