Natio has again been recognised as the #1 cosmetics brand in the Canstar Blue makeup and cosmetics review.
Receiving five-star ratings for longevity, texture, packaging, value for money, scent, packaging and overall satisfaction, Natio has again been recognised for trust and quality, ahead of global brands, to secure the title of #1 Cosmetics Brand for Customer Satisfaction.
This is Natio's second Canstar Blue award, having received the same recognition in 2022.
“As an Australian, family-run business, this recognition from our customers is both incredibly humbling and infinitely rewarding” Natio Founder Max Ross said.
“For three decades, we have prided ourselves on providing customers across Australia with premium quality, cruelty free cosmetics that celebrate natural beauty and the beauty within. We have always strived to make our customers feel special, beautiful and valued. The Canstar Blue recognition shows us that the support and respect we show our customers is mutual, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.”
Since 2010, Canstar Blue has helped Australian consumers make better-informed purchase decisions on products and services by providing factual, up-to-date and comprehensive comparison tables, ratings, reviews, guides and news of a range of consumer-related topics, including within the makeup and cosmetics sector.

On 17th February 2023, we celebrated our 30th lap around the sun, near to where it all began at Abbotsford Convent.
Past and present employees joined valued suppliers and distributors for a gala event at the Convent, mere blocks from our first office premises at Marine Parade.
200 guests met to celebrate 30 years of natural Australian beauty over canapes accompanied by a three-piece jazz band, before enjoying a three-course banquet catered by Peter Rowland Group.
Our Managing Director Mahesh Ross opened the event which highlighted Natio's many achievements over the course of the past three decades, and launched our new website pages, a time capsule of Natio’s founder story, brand timeline and commitments to the future.
The Gala event also coincided with the launch of the our new colour story collection, Celebrate, a limited-edition capsule of cosmetics including our first ever 18-pan eyeshadow palette, a cream blush and highlight duo and sparkling nail colour.
Founder Max Ross re-tuned his guitar and joined former bandmates of The Groop, for the band’s first performance in decades. The Groop performed their top hits from the late 60s including I’m Sorry and Ain’t She Sweet.
The night concluded with hits from over the decades, spun by DJ Claire Elliott.

Now in its 30th year, Natio is going from strength to strength, recently ranking #1 in traditional and community pharmacy* for total cosmetics, total men’s skincare and total facial skincare.
This ranking is supported by IRi, a market data analysis company responsible for POS customer analytics and insights.
IRi provided validation confirming Natio was the top brand in Australia Community Pharmacy Market over the course of 12 months up until January 2023, across cosmetics, facial skincare and men’s skincare, referring to sales market data formed of Total Australia Community Pharmacy, excluding My Chemist Group and Priceline.
It has been three decades since Natio entered the pharmacy space, with the brand forging defining relationships with state-based, family-owned and operated pharmacy distributors in the late 90s.
“At Natio, we understand that nature nurtures best, and have spent three decades fine-tuning our formulas to provide our customers superior natural products backed by science. The data shared by IRi reaffirms our commitment to provide our customers only the best in natural Australian beauty,” managing director, Mahesh Ross said.
“Pharmacy really is the heartland of the Natio brand and we have continued strong, loyal relationships with these partners since entering the pharmacy retail space in 1996. It is encouraging to see this data with the knowledge that Natio is the first choice for customers in pharmacy across even some of the most remote parts of the country. Without the support of our pharmacy relationships, Natio would not be the 30 year-strong brand it is today.”

This year, Natio is incredibly proud to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary! From humble beginnings in 1993, Natio has grown to become a much-loved and respected Australian beauty brand. As a business, Natio is sincerely grateful to its wonderful team and beautiful customers for helping the brand get there.
Propelled – always and forever, since day dot – by a firm appreciation for Mother Nature, a commitment to positivity and an unwavering adoration of its beloved Australian home, Natio was arguably the original” “A-Beauty” brand (born at a time before the term “A- Beauty” was coined, and Aussie brands weren’t yet prized or on-trend).
With a conscious (and evolving) edit of simple yet effective, plant-based self-care solutions, Natio instilled the genuine, easygoing spirit and unique natural beauty inherent to Australia into each of its skin, bath, bodycare, cosmetics and aromatics formulas to gently win the love and loyalty of customers – first on home shores and later, also abroad.
Supporting, promoting and cherishing “Natural Australian Beauty” has become both Natio’s premise and its promise. In sticking with this commitment to positive and easygoing natural beauty, Natio has grown organically and with integrity from a health food store haircare offering to – now - a leading and respected beautycare brand across pharmacy and department store channels.
“The last 30 years have been tremendously rewarding” says Mahesh Ross, Natio Managing Director.
“Natio is an Australian family business, with a heart and soul to match. Dad and I have loved working together in growing and evolving Natio to the brand and business it is today and we continue to be inspired each and every day, not only by the abundant beauty of nature and our unique island home, but also the generous support of our team, our business partners and our customers. We are both humbled and grateful for the support and loyalty of our community, and incredibly excited for the next phase of growth for Natio. We look forward to the next 30 years of celebrating natural Australian beauty”.
