Ahh, summer. Long, golden days brimming with al fresco fun, good times spent with family and friends, and replenishing out-of-office rest and relaxation.
However, along with the many radiant positives that come with our brightest season are some less-desirable challenges as well. Most common to us all, we’re talking sunburn, insect bites and that sluggish summer listlessness that can weigh you down when that mercury spikes and stays up, up, up.
Fortunately, Mother Nature has the answer (doesn’t she always?). The gentle practice of aromatherapy - using pure essential oils extracted from the fruits, leaves, flowers, bark and stems of plants - can positively boost comfort and wellbeing. With their inherent cooling, soothing, insect repelling properties, specific essential oils like Peppermint, Lavender, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus can be used in skin mists and compresses to naturally soothe your summer struggles.
Plus, uplifting floral, citrus and herbal essential oils are simply perfect for boosting the mood and promoting an atmosphere as optimistic and sunny as the summer day outside. Floral Geranium and Lavender, sweet juicy Orange and zesty Lemon, Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle - to name just a few - can be diffused alone or in bespoke combinations for a scent that resonates with and refreshes you.
Below, take a look at some (easy and accessible) aromatherapy solutions to help you stay cool, calm and comfortable.
Cooling Compress
Use essential oil in a cold compress to cool off on hot days.
Place 1 x drop of Lavender and 1 x drop of Peppermint essential oil onto a cloth and soak in a small bowl of cool water. Wring out the cloth and gently press to the back of the neck, forehead and wrists for soothing, cooling relief. Dip, wring and repeat until the face cloth becomes warm. Cloth can be returned to the fridge for re-use throughout the day.
TIP: For extra cooling, pop the cloth in the fridge or even freezer prior to use.
Soothing Sunburn Body Mist
Sometimes, despite our best intentions and slip, sop, slap practice, skin can receive an accidental scorching from the sun. To help soothe sunburnt skin - or even as a refreshing after-sun treatment for skin that’s not burnt but feeling hot and uncomfortable - an aromatherapy skin mist is wonderful. Simply add 3 x drops of Lavender, 2 x drops Tea Tree and 1 x drop Peppermint essential oil to 100ml of cool water in a clean spray bottle. Shake well and spray onto body. Keep in the fridge to keep the solution fresh and cool, and use throughout the day as required.
TIP: For extra soothing and hydration, add 1 x tablespoon of Aloe Vera Gel (commonly found in health food stores and pharmacies) to your solution.
Note: Omit Peppermint from the recipe if you intend to use mist on the face.
Natural Insect Repellant
Essential oils can also help to repel bugs without the potentially toxic chemicals of non-natural insect repellants. The likes of Peppermint, Lemongrass, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Lemon Myrtle and Lavender can help keep summer pests from biting. To make your own natural insect repellant spray, add a mix of up to 10 drops of the aforementioned essential oils to 250ml water in a clean spray bottle. Ideally, a mix of up to 3 unique oils is best. Spray onto skin and surfaces as needed and keep in the fridge for use throughout the day. Note: Avoid spraying directly into the face.
TIP: For a simpler alternative, use up to 10 x drops of Natio Focus on Defence Pure Essential Oil Blend, which offers a pre-blended mix of excellent repellant oils.]
Indoors, these oils can be vaporised or diffused (depending on the equipment you have available). Simply add up to 6 drops of essential oil to your vaporiser or diffuser to help keep flies and mozzies at bay.
Note: Pets can be more sensitive to Essential Oils than people, with many Essential Oils best avoided altogether for their comfort and safety. Always consult your vet prior to use and follow label instructions.
TIP: again, an essential oil blend such as Natio Focus on Defence Pure Essential Oil Blend offers an easy, pre-mix of essential oils reputed for effective insect repellency.
Calming Insect Bite Relief
To help reduce inflammation, apply 1 x drop of Lavender neat to the bite.
To help relieve itch, dilute 1 x drop of Peppermint in 10mls carrier oil and gently dab onto the bite.
Positive Mood Booster
Vaporised or diffused, cooling, energising and uplifting essential oils can offer refreshing relief from summer sluggishness, helping to revive the spirit and create an atmosphere of positive energy. Cooling mint, zesty citrus, cheerful florals and sweet woods are especially nice during the warmer months, and can be combined per your personal preference. Blend your own or sweeten your summer with some of the below essential oil combinations:
- Lemongrass, Orange & Peppermint
- Lavender, Peppermint & Lemon
TIP: Refreshing, revitalising essential oils are great for road trips! No need for equipment, you can simply apply a few drops of aromatic essential oil to a tissue and tuck into your car’s fan vents or console storage to support alertness and/or promote freshness and optimism as you travel.
Always follow the dosage instructions on the bottle, and instructions for your vaporiser/diffuser. And again, remember that pets can be more sensitive to Essential Oils than people, with many Essential Oils best avoided altogether for their comfort and safety. Always consult your vet prior to use.
That's just a handful ideas and recipes to get you started and support a super summer, naturally. Once you get started, the sky’s the limit, so take your aromatherapy alchemy as far as you’d like. Or if you like your essential oil elixirs readymade, Natio can support you there too. Take a look at our Home Happiness range of pure essential oils, blends, roll-ons, carrier oils and accessories.
Wishing you a safe and scent-sational summer!

Skincare routines can take what feels like eons to get right, but once you have mastered it, your skin will thank you! When putting your New Year resolutions into practice, consider how you can use this time to focus on setting new good habits for your skin in 2023 – there's no better time than the present.
Clean up after the party
If you woke up on New Year’s Day with smudged mascara from the night before, you’re not alone. Most of us are guilty of occasionally forgetting to take makeup off after a night out on the town. Make this the year to quit wearing makeup to bed and master your evening skin routine. You don’t need a seven-step regime every night, however it's important to remove product build up and grime before hitting the hay.
For a quick cleanse, soak a washable pad in Micellar Cleansing Water and wipe gently across your entire face. This doesn’t have to be followed up with a cleanser or toner; a moisturising cream like the Ageless Extra Firming Night Cream should be enough to keep you hydrated until morning – there’s a reason this cream is award winning! In an ideal world, a full nightly routine would be fantastic, but after a party, we know this isn’t always the reality.
Sun safe year round
We might sound like a broken record here, but it’s true – sun protection applies to every day of the year. While it may be gloomy and overcast outside, that doesn’t mean you’re immune to sun damage from UVA/UVB rays. For double duty sun protection and hydration, a day cream with SPF included is the best solution. The Rosewater Hydration Moisture Balance Day Cream SPF 50+ provides two-in-one protection with nourishing plant extracts to keep skin supple and shielded from sun damage. Don’t forget to protect the neck too – this skin is particularly fragile and deserves as much love as your face does.
The best trend? No trends
It’s easy to fall victim to the constant cycle of beauty trends, and while those bleached eyebrows will eventually grow back, it’s important to consider your skincare routine needs before throwing a concoction of random chemicals onto your precious skin. It can be tempting to try every treatment under the sun; however many active ingredients don’t agree with each other and should not be used in conjunction within a morning or evening skincare routine.
Since its inception 30 years ago, Natio has followed the guiding principle that nature nurtures best. It's for this reason that our products today still harness the healing and rejuvenating plant nutrients that are tried and true. If you are looking to revamp your skincare routine and would prefer to opt for positive results rather than trendy ingredients, try taking the Skincare Finder quiz. This quick questionnaire will help ascertain your key needs and provide a morning, evening and treatments routine in just a few minutes.
Self care everywhere
If there is one thing we’re keeping in mind this year, it’s that self-care is more than just a face mask and candles. Self-care should be a holistic routine that includes the whole body. Be sure to treat dry legs to a rejuvenating exfoliation with the Spa One Minute Body Polish, followed with a hydrating Spa Coconut & Shea Body Butter to leave skin refreshed year round. Also don’t forget to give your elbows some love!
Your mind works hard every day too, so when you decide to do a pampering night at home, take some extra time for mindfulness to truly rest and rejuvenate. To assist, diffuse some essential oils, play some relaxing, meditative music and drift into a space of tranquility and calm.
Ultimately all skincare routines change with your lifestyle, and like all good habits, they take practice to get it just right. Don’t be too hard on yourself and take time to find what works for you. Keep in mind the Natio guiding principle as you head into the new year: Love being you.

With a philosophy that has always been guided by a connection to the Earth and deep appreciation for nature, Natio has chosen to play a part in the solution towards a healthier planet.
Together with its tube supplier Impact International, Natio is part of a forest initiative that offsets the carbon from the manufacture of 100ml tubes. The Impact Forest has now been sequestering carbon since it was planted 22 years ago, capturing close to 18,000 tonnes of carbon. Radiator pines last up to 80 years when cared for, so we can expect another 62-70 years of growth and storage of carbon in the future.
With an estimated 20,000 pine trees and other native vegetation on the Impact International Forest site, the carbon emissions from the manufacture of up to 30 million tubes can be offset each year.
Impact International Managing Director, Aleks Lajovoic, said by participating in the sustainable forest program, Natio has "access to the most sustainable tubes available in the world, plus are helping to protect native wildlife".
In addition to reducing Natio’s emissions through carbon offsetting, the 114-acre forest is also home to dozens of animal species, including kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, wallabies, turtles and many native birds. Operating and maintaining this forest protects their habitat and provides sanctuary for these species and more. 1,300 native trees will also be preserved, rehabilitated and protected from deforestation through this initiative.
Recently some of the team members from the Natio head office team were lucky enough to attend the tree planting day. Approximately 60 people helped to plant 8,500+ trees, made up of 6,500 Pinus radiata seedings and 2,000 native Eucalyptus seedlings. Our team had a momentous day planting trees and being immersed in nature. One of the highlights was touring the existing Natio forest plot, which is rich with tree species and animal habitat.
Australia’s minister for Climate Change and Energy the Honourable Chris Bowen MP spoke with us on the challenges we face tackling climate change - he also confirmed he is a regular user of the Natio Daily Defence Face Moisturiser SPF 50+! We also heard from Impact International’s soil physicist (Holly) and forest expert (David) on how trees help improve soil quality and rehabilitate landscapes.
It may only be a small contribution in the bigger scheme of things, but by continuing to participate in proactive opportunities to reduce its collective carbon footprint, Natio hopes it can help lead the way to a more sustainable future.

A bold or shimmering eyeshadow can completely alter a makeup look but can often be difficult or time consuming to execute. With the launch of our new Glide On Eyeshadow Sticks, Natio is making a statement eye more achievable than ever before. Here are some tips to perfect that long-lasting look ahead of your holiday festivities.
Primed for perfection
For a flawless finish, it’s crucial to build a strong base under any makeup products – regardless of the look you are trying to achieve. For a silky-smooth appearance, we recommend applying a fine layer of primer to ensure all your cosmetics stick, last longer and avoid any potential pilling or balling.
For a smooth, radiant base that will help makeup last longer, try the Ageless Illuminating Face Primer. Enriched with Rosehip Oil and Vitamin C, this step will completely up your game, allowing your makeup look to last from morning well into the evening.
The eyes have it
Our new Glide On Eyeshadow Sticks are a one-step solution to luminous eyes. Available in six shades, they can be used for a single-colour statement, or blended together for a smoky eye.
These eyeshadows are intended for long-wear, so they do dry quickly. We recommend applying the pigment to one eye at a time and blending out with either a dense eyeshadow brush or with clean fingertips. Alternatively, you can apply the product directly to your brush and press to your lid to get an even distribution of colour.
If you like using products for multiple purposes, then the Halo Glide On Eyeshadow Stick is for you! This creamy, pearlescent shade is perfect for doubling as a highlight. Gently pat onto your cheekbones for a fresh glowy effect.
Luscious Lashes
No shimmery eyeshadow look is complete without a lick of mascara. For lashes as long lasting as your eyeshadow, try our Waterproof Lengthening Mascara. Formulated to defy sweat, water and humidity, this mascara is perfect for a long day’s work, through to a turn around the dance floor this holiday season - just make sure you remember to remove it before you go to bed! 
Get set and glow!
Spritz some Makeup Setting Spray on your way out the door to ensure all your products last as long as your eyeshadow. Enjoy a long-lasting glow all the way from Sunrise to Nightfall.

This Christmas, many of us are approaching the Christmas festivities more sustainably. From giving gifts to what we eat, we are all playing a part in cherishing memories and moments with loved ones, whilst also being kind to Mother Earth. Here are some tried and tested ways to enjoy this season with friends and family without costing our planet.
Quality not Quantity
It’s a simple start, but when buying gifts, think “less is better” and focus on quality that will last, or offer a solution to the giver. With this in mind all Natio gift sets are made in Australia to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise shipping. Pick a gift that the receiver will love and use, and reduce the chances of gifts going to waste. Why not spoil loved ones with the gift of glowing skin and gift the Blossoming Beauty gift set with the Natio signature Aromatherapy 1-2-3 skincare routine.
Think about materials
World Wildlife Fund advises that we look at materials that gifts are made from to keep sustainability front of mind. Paper gifts and boxes can be made from recycled materials, or Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) materials are a good sustainable choice. Avoid single use plastics items that cannot be recycled. The Forest Mist Natio for Men Gift set is a great option as it is presented in a recycled, locally made presentation box which can easily be recycled in your curbside recycling. The set includes a Daily Face Wash and 100% biodegradable konjac sponge which can be composted with your veggie, fruit and plant remains once you have finished using it!
Reduced packaging
You can also reduce waste by buying gifts that come in little to no packaging. Avoid plastic where possible and use reusable bags to carry your shopping home or choose online retailers who ship products to you in sustainable packaging options - like recycled paper or cornstarch beads in place of plastic bubble wrap. The Natio x Lamai Anne Christmas collection offers lovingly created gifts that include recycled or reusable components, and packaging to help you feel good about gifting to loved ones. Perhaps try Graceful Gum from the Natio Spirit range which features 3 full sized bath and body treats as well as a sisal exfoliating sponge in a reusable cosmetic bag.
Celebrating with food
When it comes to food waste in Australia on average, we annually waste close to 312kg of food per person, this has an impact not only on our environment but also our spending. Try to cut any waste by planning ahead – be realistic about how much food you need and plan ways to use up leftovers. If you can focus on seasonally available fresh foods, not only will this be a great way to minimise spending, but the food will be the freshest – also consider shipping and the environmental impacts of importing foods that aren’t in season locally.
Considered Decorating
Use the ethos of “quality not quantity.” Use, create and upcycle as many decorations as possible. Reusing ornaments is not only positive for the environment but also offer yearly family traditions that can be cherished. Try and avoid any single use plastics, focus instead on materials that can be reused season on season. And don’t forget to think about your Christmas lights! Using LED lights on your Christmas tree uses less energy, lasts longer, and looks just as effective as traditional lights.
We hope you can see how easy it is to make some simple swaps for a happy, and more sustainable Christmas this year. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and joy filled festive season.

Receiving five-star ratings for longevity, texture, packaging, value for money and overall satisfaction, Natio scored the highest overall ahead of international brands. The results were collated from 800 Australian participants surveyed who purchased cosmetics from a supermarket or pharmacy within the past 12 months.

Australia offers us a diverse landscape, a seemingly never-ending offering of unique flora and fauna. Natio has always been inspired by a deep respect for natural Australian beauty and talent. At Christmas time we all look to celebrating and embracing what matters to us most. That’s why we are so excited to share our Artist collaboration with the wonderfully talented Lamai Anne, whose magnificent Native artworks helps us to celebrate Australian and New Zealand floras this Christmas.
Lamai is a New Zealand born, Australian raised digital artist whose signature illustrations of native gums, ferns and flowers joyfully celebrate our home’s unique beauty. Her illustrations of Australian Natives are meticulously brought to life through her digital art, and the composition between the seasons to create vivid, colourful and eye-catching pieces that bring the Australian outdoors into focus.
We sat down with Lamai recently in her home studio, just outside of Melbourne, to meet her animals and have a chat about what inspires her most and how she translates her inspiration to capture the beauty of the world around us.

How do you feel to be working with Natio on its Christmas gift set collection for 2022?
I am so excited for everyone to see this collection come to life! It has been a dream to work with Natio, the collection is just so wonderful, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.
What do you love about flora and fauna– what about it interests you?
It’s often the changing of the seasons that inspires me the most. The way a flowering gum will burst into life in summer and leave behind beautiful gum nuts by autumn.
Are there any other things that inspire you?
I am inspired by shapes and colours of flowers, especially Australian Natives, it will either be a colour that appeals to me, or a shape of a warratah. I will take lots of photos of the one flower and develop the illustration and composition from there. I spend a lot of time putting together colour palettes, for example I will walk past a banksia and notice the beautiful dusty blues on the back of the leaves, I will put that together with lots of different contrasting colour combinations and that can be sometimes how an illustration starts.
Which is your favourite artwork used in the Natio collection.. and why?
My favourite artwork used in the Natio Christmas collection is the flowering gum. It’s probably my favourite piece, because it started from a tree in our paddock when we moved into our property, and one summer it just flowered and it was so beautiful, the colours so rich, and that was my first Native Grace illustration, part of my Native Grace range – the flowering gum inspired me to start the range. That’s definitely my favourite.
What does Christmas mean to you and your family?
Christmas for me, means taking some time off, spending time with family and friends, spending time in my garden and with my animals. It’s that time of year that you can really have some time to embrace and spend time with family. My fondest Christmas memory was in 2008 when I gave birth to my daughter on Christmas Eve, at 11.20pm. I got to spend Christmas day with her and that was an amazing Christmas worth treasuring.
Where do you find beauty?
I find beauty, in things you can often miss when you first take a glance at something, for example a flowering gum – when you first you look at it you start noticing the beautiful red stems, the beautiful shapes and intricate details, that’s where I find beauty, by really observing and looking at things closely. We are surrounded by such beautiful flora and fauna in Australia, and I love the Australian birds- parrots, cockatoos, they are so much fun to illustrate.
Natio is proud to support a local artist and like-minded nature lover to elevate this year’s Christmas campaign. True to Natio’s origins all formulations in the gifts sets range are made in Australia. With a focus on increased sustainability all gifts are designed to last well beyond the Christmas season.
