About

MODELROCK Lashes is an Australian family-owned business that has become the country's best-known name in false eyelashes. Established in 2013 and based on the New South Wales Central Coast, it is owned and operated by directors Raelene and Jeremy, and grew out of Raelene's habit of cutting up basic lash styles and reworking them into shapes that did not yet exist commercially. That instinct still shapes the catalogue. MODELROCK offers an unusually wide spread of styles, from natural everyday sets to heavily dramatic strips, constructed from one hundred percent sterilised natural human hair, premium Faux Mink or the brand's BIONIC Faux Mink fibres. Every lash is one hundred percent handmade, produced by specialised lash artisans at five of the world's foremost faux eyelash manufacturers, hand-picked by the brand rather than sourced on price. The brand is cruelty-free, stating plainly that MODELROCK products are never tested on animals and are tested on and by humans only, a position it attributes to being animal lovers first. Its professional credentials are substantial: it describes itself as Australia's number one professional eyelash supplier, runs a dedicated PRO CLUB membership for working artists and salons, and was named Makeup Brand of the Year at the 2023 MAGAP awards. Pricing sits in the affordable tier, which has kept the range accessible to both consumers and professionals buying in volume. For shoppers searching for affordable, cruelty-free, handmade lashes from a women-led, family-owned Australian business with genuine professional standing, MODELROCK remains the category leader in its home market.

Natio featured image

Natio

Australia · Est. 1993 · Affordable

Natio is an Australian beauty brand established in 1993 by Max Ross and based in Melbourne, Victoria. With more than three decades in the market, the brand has developed a strong everyday identity around natural beauty, cruelty-free practices, and accessible pricing. Its longevity is one of its most meaningful qualities. Natio predates much of the current clean and conscious beauty conversation, giving its natural positioning more history than brands created specifically in response to recent trends. Cruelty-free beauty is part of that profile, while locally made production strengthens its connection to Australia. The brand’s wider subcategory positioning also includes ethical beauty, sustainability, and recycled materials, giving its long-standing natural approach a more contemporary environmental dimension. Affordability has helped Natio remain practical. Natural beauty can quickly become premium-priced, but the brand stays accessible enough for customers to build regular skincare and beauty routines without treating every product as an investment. Everyday beauty is where Natio feels most comfortable. The range is designed for repeat use rather than niche artistry or occasional luxury. For shoppers interested in established Australian beauty brands, Natio combines natural ingredients, cruelty-free practices, ethical considerations, sustainability, recycled materials, local production, and affordable pricing. Its strength lies in familiarity and longevity: a practical beauty brand that has been part of the Australian market since the early 1990s while continuing to align with modern conscious-beauty priorities.

MooGoo featured image

MooGoo

Australia · Est. 2005 · Affordable

MooGoo is an Australian skincare brand established in 2005 by Craig Jones. The brand has built its identity around natural beauty, practical sensitive-skin care, and affordable products designed to be used consistently rather than treated as occasional skincare extras. Sensitive-skin-friendly positioning is one of MooGoo’s strongest characteristics. Its dermatologist-tested profile gives the brand an additional layer of confidence for customers who are cautious about irritation or who prefer skincare that feels more considered for everyday use. Natural beauty remains central, while cruelty-free practices make the brand relevant for shoppers who want animal-friendly skincare. The wider subcategory profile also connects MooGoo with clean beauty, paraben-free formulation, sustainability, recycled materials, and locally made production. These qualities give the brand a broader conscious-beauty identity without losing its accessible character. Affordability is particularly important. Sensitive-skin and dermatologist-tested products are often pushed toward specialist or premium pricing, whereas MooGoo keeps its range within reach of everyday customers. Established in 2005, the brand also has a longer history than many newer clean-beauty names. For shoppers seeking Australian skincare that combines natural ingredients, cruelty-free values, dermatologist testing, sensitive-skin-friendly care, sustainability, local production, and accessible pricing, MooGoo offers a practical and well-established choice built around regular use rather than beauty trends.

Eco Tan featured image

Eco Tan

Australia · Est. 2010 · Mid-range

Eco Tan is an Australian beauty brand founded in 2010 by Sonya Driver and based in Currumbin on Queensland’s Gold Coast. The brand has built a broad conscious-beauty identity around natural and organic ingredients, vegan and cruelty-free values, local production, and sustainability. Its formulation profile is particularly comprehensive. Eco Tan sits within clean beauty and natural beauty while also being associated with non-toxic and sensitive-skin-friendly products. This gives the brand relevance for shoppers who want naturally focused formulas but are equally concerned about how those products feel on more delicate skin. Vegan and cruelty-free positioning adds an animal-friendly dimension, while ethical beauty and sustainability extend the conversation beyond formulation alone. Locally made production is another important feature. It strengthens Eco Tan’s Australian identity and helps connect the brand’s environmental values to a more regionally rooted manufacturing approach. The brand occupies the mid-range beauty segment, making organic and sustainability-led products more approachable than many premium alternatives. Recycled beauty also forms part of its wider subcategory profile, reinforcing the focus on reducing environmental impact. For shoppers who want an Australian beauty brand with multiple conscious credentials in one place, Eco Tan offers natural and organic formulation, vegan and cruelty-free practices, sensitive-skin-friendly products, sustainability, ethical values, recycled materials, and locally made production without pushing the experience into luxury-only territory.
