Noosa Basics

Noosa Basics makes deodorant, haircare and lip balm in small batches in Noosa Heads on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The range includes several packaging options for everyday use. Every stick of natural deodorant, dry shampoo powder, sea-salt beach hair spray, botanical body oil, and tinted lip balm is formulated and poured in-house in small batches using certified organic coconut oil, tapioca starch, Australian kaolin clay, shea butter, and pure steam-distilled essential oils.

Customers can choose from bicarb-free sensitive formulas, activated charcoal sticks, or native lemon myrtle and eucalyptus blends housed in biodegradable paperboard push-up tubes or reusable aluminium tins.

The maker describes its Noosa-made range as vegan, palm-oil-free and cruelty-free, and offers details on other ingredients in its published policies. Check the individual product if you have sensitivities or want to know which packaging it uses. Their compact paperboard tubes and travel tins are stocked in independent wholefood grocers and zero-waste apothecaries right across Australia.
