Their range of products includes everything from facial cleansers, serums and face creams to body creams. All of their products are made from natural and certified native ingredients, and are Australian-made and indigenous-born.

What is special about the brand is that they only use 100% Australian native plant oils and extracts and draws on the brand's knowledge of what ingredients make the best skincare products. They source everything that they use in their products from Indigenous owned enterprises, Australian producers and businesses that support Indigenous ventures. This means that Native Essence is wholly an ethical, sustainable and local brand helping local communities grow and thrive.

Indigenous communities have a vast knowledge of the natural world, which they have accumulated and refined over generations. This knowledge allows them to source the best and freshest ingredients from their local environments, ensuring that the skincare products made from these ingredients are of the highest quality. At Native Essence, they believe that nature holds the key to beautiful, healthy skin. Their range of skin care products are formulated with natural ingredients, and are enriched with vitamins, antioxidants and other natural native plant extracts to help nourish and protect the skin. Their products are designed to help improve skin tone and texture, boosting the skin's natural qualities while nourishing the skin deep down. 

One of the company’s product range is The Kakadu Range. The Kakadu Range is a collection of natural skincare products designed to nourish and protect skin. The range is made with some of Australia’s most powerful native natural ingredients, including extracts of the Kakadu Plum and Emu Bush. For example, the Kakadu Days Hydrating Day Cream contains Native Silky Oil Grass extract which increases collagen production and maintains skin tone. Native Australian Sandalwood and Buddha Wood essential oils complete the profile with a luxurious bouquet. These ingredients are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, which help to nourish, protect and repair the skin.

The range also has a lovely night cream which contains extracts of White Cyprus Leaf and Wattle Seed which increases the suppleness of the skin and reduces inflammation. The Kakadu Range is also formulated with a unique range of essential oils, which help to provide an uplifting, calming and hydrating effect on the skin.
