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...
I really loved the packaging, especially the touch of gum leaves – I thought it was very thoughtful. The product itself has a very nice and eco-friendly style of packaging and a subtle scent that isn’t too strong and sprays nice and evenly. It leaves a nice feeling on my hands afterwards that doesn’t feel drying. I love that this brand supports so many great causes including environment conservation and protecting koalas. They are committed to having a beautiful planet through the use of natural, eco-friendly and non-toxic ingredients that are sustainably and locally sourced.

This product is easy to use, and it lathers up quite quickly. It’s convenient, being a bar soap, and it leaves your skin feeling clean. I really appreciate the amount of care that has gone into this product in terms of packaging, sustainable practices and the fact that it’s pH balanced.
–Sam Christian
Koala Eco wins my “packaging of the year” award – the two eucalyptus twigs they included is the closest I can get to tactual branding. The spray smells great and doesn’t leave any sticky residue when I use it on my hands or the surface of my desk. I have to say this is one product which is most aligned with all my values: locally-sourced, non-toxic, with a solid environmental initiative in my own city.
– Ria Andriani
An exceptionally fresh and uplifting hand sanitiser, which has all the active ingredients to ensure my hands are germ free and yet still manages to smell botanical and very pleasant. Given these pandemic days, I really appreciate the larger bottle and the fact it doubles as a surface spray. I really love that Koala Eco uses only recycled plastics to make their bottles… which are then in turn recyclable. What a wonderful role model and something that we as consumers should really get behind and show our support of.
