As one of the world’s first companies to produce skincare without the use of synthetic preservatives or parabens, Living Nature is, quite simply, passionate about nature. Their products work to naturally protect, nurture and enhance the skin without any adverse chemical side effects.

Once part of the ancient southern landmass, Gondwana, New Zealand has been geographically isolated for over 80 million years, in which time a unique flora has evolved. Over 80% of New Zealand’s plants are found nowhere else in the world. It is these rare plants that form the basis of the exceptional Living Nature skincare, bodycare care and cosmetic collections.

The unique, natural formulations are developed by a Research and Development team who work with six external scientific organisations to identify, extract and purify plant compounds for use in the products. Living Nature’s products are tested for efficacy by Abich Laboratories, in Italy, who have an international reputation for product testing.

Product safety has been assessed to EU guidelines and Living Nature is accredited by the world’s leading independent auditor of natural cosmetics, Germany’s BDIH.

At Living Nature they firmly believe that healthy skincare is skincare free of potentially harmful synthetic ingredients and preservatives. They make the following promises to their customers:

No Synthetic Preservatives

Their Fragrances

Inspired by New Zealand's unique native flora, their certified natural fragrances have been developed by a master French parfumier especially for our world-leading natural skincare, bodycare and haircare ranges.

The fragrances are crafted from natural essential oils, and are part of their commitment to always provide you with the most natural, safe and effective skincare in the world. Essential oil blends have very different properties to synthetic perfumes. The fragrance of your Living Nature product will always be strongest when you first open and use it, and will naturally soften over time.

Fragrances are listed in ingredients as "Parfum (fragrance)" which is the international labelling standard. We list any known essential oil allergens on packaging, and always recommend that you patch test products before use, particularly if you have sensitive skin.
