Clean Ingredients / Materials
Formulated with excellent clean ingredients.
Ethical Practices
Gondwana Macadamias aims for full traceability from tree to table or skin by growing and producing products on-site when possible, while sourcing skincare products from local manufacturers to maintain quality control. The brand ensures transparency at all production stages and collaborates fairly with small, family-run farms that align with their values of sustainability and ethical farming. All products are made in small batches, emphasising integrity over mass production and prioritise the use of natural, cruelty-free ingredients without synthetic fillers. Their pricing structure supports ethical growth by providing retailers a fair margin while delivering value to customers. The brand celebrates macadamias as a hero ingredient, recognising the cultural and ecological significance of this native Australian tree.
Sustainable Practices
Gondwana prioritises regenerative farming practices that protect and enrich the local ecosystem, with all macadamias grown, harvested and processed on-farm to minimise food miles. The brand uses recyclable packaging and follows circular economy principles by repurposing farm waste, while also minimising food waste by utilising macadamias unsuitable for whole-nut sale. They collaborate with local, family-operated farms to support sustainable practices and reduce regional waste. Furthemore their products contribute to macadamia conservation efforts, including the Big Scrub Rainforest regeneration project and the Conservation Trust Arboretum, which protects native macadamia species.
Social Impact
Gondwana engages with the community to create a positive, lasting impact by supporting local environmental groups such as Tregeagle Landcare and Richmond Landcare. They have donated land for a wild macadamia arboretum to facilitate research and conservation and have planted 3,500 native trees as part of their regeneration efforts. Additionally, they partner with OzFish on the Boggy Creek habitat project to restore fish habitats and riparian ecosystems. Their initiatives are rooted in a commitment to nurturing people, place and planet.
Product Reviews by Experts
This scrub is lush! The texture is thick and creamy without being heavy and the sugar gives a nice, even exfoliation that feels effective but gentle enough for both face and body. My skin felt super soft straight after rinsing, like it had already been moisturised. I also loved the subtle lime and earthy scent, it’s fresh but not overpowering and adds a little spa-like vibe to the routine. Definitely one of those products you want to reach for again and again. There’s something really grounding about how close to the source this brand is- growing on site (so cool!), harvesting and producing on-farm where possible feels rare these days. I really respect their focus on regenerative farming, using macadamias that would otherwise go to waste and supporting native conservation efforts. The fact that they’re part of the land they’re working to protect and collaborating with other small farms shows this isn’t just marketing, it’s a way of life.
The Gondwana Macadamias Macadamia Mineral Face & Body Scrub smells so amazing! I love the little wooden scoop that comes in the tub. The scrub is lush and easy to use. While it can be used for the body, it’s still gentle enough to use on your face. I love how it leaves your skin feeling so smooth while being nourished and hydrated. I also love that the Macadamia Mineral Face & Body Scrub is made in small batches and that a use has been found for macadamias that may otherwise go to waste.
I loved this so much, the feeling of my skin, neck and body afterwards was so great – I’m obsessed! I love the regenerative and community vibe; it really aligns with my personal beliefs and how I live my life.
