Ethical
Koala Eco Australian Made and Owned products aim to follow the strongest possible eco-friendly credentials and are certified non-toxic, vegan/plant-based and cruelty free. The brand's products are also Made Safe certified and allergy certified. Koala Eco uses Australian essential oils, because these, when combined with other non-toxic ingredients like vinegar, plant-based surfactants, sugar-based biodegradable alcohol and bicarbonate soda are great alternatives to caustic cleaning products. Sourcing Australian essential oils helps support local communities and economies.
Sustainable
All Koala Eco’s products are natural and biodegradable, with no toxic chemicals harming the environment, wildlife, and marine life when these products are washed down the drain. The native Australian botanicals used in Koala Eco products are also locally sourced from Down Under Enterprises, who grow traceable and sustainable Australian essential oils and botanicals, harvest rainwater, use 100% renewable energy and have an established eucalyptus Koala corridor on the farm. Koala Eco products come in 100% recycled and recyclable packaging, meaning no new plastic is used and the bottles can be recycled into new packaging. So far, the brand estimates to have saved over 25,000kg of plastic through our recycled and recyclable production methods.
Responsible
Koala Eco are partnered with 1% for the Planet, meaning a portion of every Koala Eco product sold contributes to protecting the land, forests, rivers, oceans, and wildlife, supporting sustainable food systems, and tackling issues surrounding climate change and pollution. The brand also supports Port Stephens Koalas & WWF Australia. Koala Eco was one of the first businesses to be invited to re-badge as a .eco company by the Vancouver-based .eco movement, launched by two former United Nations Environment Programme staffers. Koala Eco are therefore part of a worldwide coalition of environmentally sensitive organisations committed to sustainable practices.
What our experts say...
The soap is lightly scented with peppermint oil which is lovely and refreshing. It lathers nicely and is a great soap to have in the kitchen. I absolutely love the philosophy behind Koala Eco. The fact that the bottles are made from recycled plastic & recyclable, all Australian made and owned, Australian sourced essential oils. It’s fantastic!

This hand wash is fresh, clean and light. Like so many of Koala Eco’s other products, I feel comfortable knowing that they have created a safe, gentle, environmentally friendly product that is great for the whole family to use. I love how diligently the team at Koala Eco have been at ensuring the integrity and safety of their products – not only for the people who use them, but by also taking into account the greater ecosystems that they impact.
– Niccii Kugler
Combining some very potent natural antiseptic ingredients and a fresh, uplifting scent, this is the perfect hand wash for getting through 2021! I love that it doesn’t dry out the skin on my hands and it’s gentle enough for little hands to use too. I also love that you can purchase bigger refill bottles and the packaging is all made from recycled plastic.
–Emily Fletcher
This hand wash is quite liquidy so it helps to cup your hands while using it. The smell of peppermint is delicious and really leaves your hands feeling clean. I really love that they are vegan, they use recycled plastic bottles and they also give back to Koalas. I feel like this company really cares about its footprint.
