As New Zealanders, we tend to have a soft spot for the more natural things in life. So it’s not surprising that Natio – a skincare and makeup brand focused on natural formulations - has found its way into the hearts of skincare enthusiasts across the country.
Natio is a well-made, everyday-friendly, accessible skincare and makeup brand that can easily slot into your daily routine. No matter your skin type or concern, the cohesive Natio skincare range definitely has something to support your complexion.
We’re proud to stock this well-loved brand at Life Pharmacy, so let’s review some standout products from the Natio skincare and makeup ranges.
H2: Natio Skincare
H3: The Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser
This cleanser embodies everything great about the Natio skincare range, with a low-foaming and gentle formula designed to clear impurities without stripping your skin. Many harsher cleansers can feel punishing on the skin, but this cleanser was carefully designed to leave a brighter, fresher complexion without the characteristic tightness other ranges can leave behind.
H3: The Intensive Moisturising Day Cream
Follow up on that gentle cleanse with a clean, intensive daily moisturiser from the Natio skincare range. The Intensive Moisturising Day Cream offers light, non-greasy hydration that sits comfortably on your skin without pilling, sliding, or clogging your pores. Over time, these natural plant extracts help support a more even-toned complexion, keeping your skin hydrated enough to help fight fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
We find that most people love this moisturiser for its texture, above all else. It’s a genuinely lightweight formula that still hydrates and nourishes, so you can easily add it to a summer skincare routine even in our humid weather.
H3: The Daily Protection Face Moisturiser SPF15
Building a skincare routine in New Zealand demands careful attention paid to your SPF regimen; luckily, Natio has you covered. The Daily Protection Face Moisturiser absorbs quickly, so you can enjoy a non-greasy base before applying anything else.
While SPF15 isn’t the highest protection available, it’s perfect for covering the basics without weighing on your skin.
H3: The Daily Defence Face Moisturiser SPF50
Dermatologist-tested and suitable for daily use, the Natio Daily Defence Face Moisturiser is one of the range's top-selling products. It’s for big days outside, beach days, and hikes and walks across the city with friends. This might just be the crown jewel of the Natio skincare range, simply because it's so effective and lightweight.
Once your skin is prepped and primed, the only thing to do is move on to…
H2: Natio Makeup
H3: Illuminating Primer
In keeping with Natio’s commitment to natural, clean formulas, their Illuminating Primer is a fantastic addition to your day-to-day routine. It doubles as both skincare and makeup, with hydrating rosehip and refining aloe vera. Shea butter nourishes and softens the skin, creating a smooth surface to build your daily makeup routine on.
H3: Flawless Foundation SPF15
New Zealand’s sun makes SPF a necessity in every aspect of your skincare, including your makeup. Luckily, the Natio Flawless Foundation offers SPF15 as a practical layer of protection for everyday wear. This medium-coverage foundation comes in four shades, making it easy to mix and match to find your perfect match.
The foundation is buildable, so you can go for full coverage if you’d like, or strip it back to keep it light. Natio offers its makeup range at an accessible price point through Life Pharmacy, making this one of the most accessible foundations in NZ that includes both decent coverage and sun protection.
H3: Pure Mineral BB Cream SPF15
If you want versatility from your makeup products, the Pure Mineral BB Cream with SPF15 is the way to go. This member of the Natio makeup line provides skincare, sun protection, and light coverage all in a single formula. The natural finish helps you look put together no matter what the day holds, without demanding much time or energy.
Light coverage and ongoing SPF protection make this a welcome addition to any Kiwi’s skincare and makeup routine.
H3: Natio Pressed Powder
Finally, make sure your hard work stays set and non-greasy by finishing your routine with the Natio Pressed Powder. Designed to work as an ultra-light, silky finishing powder, this natural spray locks everything in place weightlessly. You’ll easily build full, flawless coverage without dustiness or shine from remaining oils, so your skin looks and feels as light and fresh as it would naturally. It also extends the life of your look without creating that sticky ‘hairspray’ feeling many long-wear setting sprays have.
Ultimately, the thing you’ll love most about Natio is the same thing we do: its consistency. This naturally formulated range of skincare and makeup is clean, honest, and accessible. You can build a whole routine from this brand alone, addressing everything from dry skin to concealing old acne scars.
If you’re after a simple, effective routine, then Natio skincare and makeup will get you there.
