Product FAQs

All product descriptions on our website include a full ingredients list. Moreover, most Natio products have all ingredients printed on the back of the packaging. A few colour makeup products are too small to display a full ingredients list. For these, simply refer to the product's entry on our website or find a complete listing in our ingredients leaflet or attached to the Natio display stand at your nearest Natio retailer.

Natio firmly opposes the testing of products on animals, we do not conduct or condone animal testing.

Our women’s and men’s skin care, body care and fragrance ranges are mostly free of animal by-products, however some products may contain honey or beeswax. Natio’s makeup range is also largely free from animal by-products, however some products may contain lanolin, or beeswax. You will also be pleased to know that Natio’s makeup brushes and mascara wands are made with synthetic fibers.

Where it may be possible to derive an ingredient from either plant or animal sources, for instance lecithin, tristearin, squalene or glycerin we source from plant sources.

To check whether a product is vegan friendly, we recommend you refer to the ingredient listing on our website. Simply look up the product and click the “Ingredients” tab. Alternatively, refer to the ingredients list on product packaging.

Shop our vegan friendly range.

Natio firmly opposes the testing of products on animals and does not conduct or condone animal testing, or ask anyone to conduct animal testing on our behalf. We actively support and have been accredited since 1996 by 'Choose Cruelty Free', an Australian organisation screening beauty care companies and helping consumers recognise genuine cruelty-free brands.

Natio provides testers for many of our products at point of sale, so please visit your nearest Natio retailer to trial products from the Natio range. Natio often produces packs with miniature trial size products. These products are either offered as gifts with purchase or are very reasonably priced, which makes them perfect for trial. Keep a look out in your local pharmacy or department store, subscribe to my.natio.com.au. You can also connect with us on Facebook or Instagram to be among the first to learn about these and other promotions.

The pure plant extracts and essential oils at the core of Natio’s formulations make them very gentle and suitable across a wide range of skin types. If you require help finding the most suitable products for your skin, you are welcome to ask one of Natio's qualified Consultants in-store. As everyone's skin is different, you may wish to do a small test to see if the product feels comfortable on your skin. We also invite you to browse our skincare products online.

Natio's skincare is primarily plant based. We use natural ingredients wherever possible, however we firmly believe that the best and most skin-friendly results are achieved by combining the pure essences of nature with the tried and true ingredients of modern science.

If we tried to be totally natural this would compromise the performance and stability of our products. For quality performance and stability, we use the finest compounded stabilisers to ensure that our products remain pure until the very last drop.

Natio has already removed all pure Palm Kernel Oil from its formulations some time ago. Some of our products contain derivatives of Palm Oil and the issues related to deforestation have encouraged us to source Palm Oil derivatives only from suppliers that are members of the RSPO (Round Table On Sustainable Palm Oil). We are also reviewing the option of using GreenPalm certificates.

The low, almost no foam is one of the product's best features. The mild formula of the unique micro-fine foam leaves skin deeply cleansed, refreshed and glowing, while maintaining skin's natural moisture balance. The soap free cleanser should not be compared with high foaming supermarket cleansers, which can be harsh and dehydrating on the skin. To get the best results from your cleanser, squeeze an amount the size of a 5-cent coin onto a wet hand and "lather". Then apply to wet face (avoiding eye area) and massage with gentle circular movements. Gently rinse off. The best way to judge the merit of a cleanser is by the purity and soft, moist and comfortable feel of the skin after application. Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser is one of the top sellers in the Natio skincare range.

Natio Eye Contour Wrinkle Cream, Intensive Moisturising Night Cream and Natural Vitamin E Cream contain natural vitamin E derived from wheat germ oil. Similarly, some Natio lip products contain natural vitamin E (e.g. Tocopherol), which may be derived from wheat. We recommend that coeliacs avoid using these products, as there may be an increased risk of reaction. All product descriptions on our website include a full ingredients list, so you can quickly see which products are coeliac friendly. Alternatively refer to ingredients lists on product packaging and/or attached to the side of the Natio display stand at your local pharmacy or department store.

Beauty products are not required to have an expiry date printed on them. Since 2008, Natio has been printing a Period After Opening (POA) symbol on the back of all our products to optimise our service to consumers. The symbol indicates how many months Natio recommends a product should be used after opening. As a rule of thumb, Natio products have a lifespan in excess of three years when unopened and stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

The majority of Natio product packaging is recyclable, with the exception of the black colour cosmetics containers.

Natio has introduced the display of separate recycling symbols for each component of product packaging. This allows customers to easily identify the best way to recycle as much as possible of their empty packaging.

Natio is continuously striving to improve the sustainability of packaging and become even more environmentally friendly. For example, the tube packaging in the new Spirit and Spa ranges of products is made from at least 82% recycled plastic and sustainable materials.

No, Natio products are all free from nanoparticles.

It is important to use gentle skincare and cosmetics when you are pregnant. Despite the gentle nature of all Natio products, we always recommend you speak with a qualified health practitioner about which ingredients are safe to use during pregnancy. 

Ingredients are listed on the product pages under the "Ingredients" tab. Additionally, Natio products have all ingredients printed on the back of their packaging. However, a few colour makeup products are too small for the ingredients list. The ingredient list for these can be found on the Natio display stand.

The entire Natio range is micro-bead free. Natio products use natural ingredients as the exfoliating grains in our scrubs, which are gentle and effective on the skin and also eco-friendly. 

Unfortunately, at this time we’re unable to make any adjustments to our bundles as this is a special offer applicable to the products listed in each bundle offer only.  

All the information relevant to each bundle can be found on the individual product page.
