The latest buzzwords in beauty – sustainable, vegan, natural, organic – reflect a trend that’s rapidly gaining momentum and revenue. People are becoming more aware of the harmful chemicals found in certain skincare products, leading more brands to produce products that are organic, natural and free of toxic ingredients. There is however still scepticism surrounding organic products, with many classing them as marketing ploys or doubting their effectiveness in comparison to more mainstream skincare. We’ve put together a few common misconceptions surrounding organic skincare which we hope will set the record straight. Myth 1: If the label reads natural, then it must be organic While many products may claim to be all natural on their label, this does not mean...
At Autumn Rose Organics, we believe that skincare and beauty products should be an extension of our health and wellbeing: cleansing to remove dirt, moisturising to restore nourishment, exfoliating to regenerate skin cells and applying serums to aid with anti-ageing. For years, as consumers, we’ve trusted that the skincare brands we use will benefit our wellbeing, however as time has gone by, this trust has been misplaced. Skincare and beauty brands have turned to irritating, allergy-inducing and sometimes even toxic ingredients that are not only harmful to humans but also our planet. As a result, consumers are increasingly demanding transparency from skincare and beauty brands in terms of their ingredients, as well as their sourcing and manufacturing processes. We believe...
As someone who tries to adhere at all times to the natural, organic and ultimately ‘clean’ approach to skincare, I tend to stay loyal to brands I can trust on this front, as well as ones who manage to deliver that ultimate ‘glow’ time after time. When asked to review two of Autumn Rose Organics’ latest products, I jumped at the opportunity.

I applied it gently to my skin in circular motions, using the micro-granular formulation to remove all of the stubborn dirt and impurities which had accumulated over the day. The grain was soft, even for...
The Australian lifestyle is something we take inspiration from when it comes to developing Autumn Rose Organics’ line of natural skincare. Australians tend to approach life with an effortless joy and relaxed attitude which we wanted to echo in our brand. We also look to Australia’s abundant natural resources when it comes to sourcing our ingredients, preferring the botanical, natural and organic route over harsh chemicals.Similar to a breath-taking Australian sunset, we wanted to make the whole experience as uplifting as possible. What is truly unique about the Australian approach to skincare is that it is often driven by a culture and a lifestyle defined by its people. Nature and wellness are at the core of their living and being,...
When it came to launching Autumn Rose, one of the elements most important to us was transparency. We wanted to create a natural and organic brand in which all of the ingredients used were endorsed at the highest level. In our case, all of our products carry the COSMOS-standard signature – a consumer guarantee for natural and organic cosmetics you can trust. Developed by the leading associations and certifiers and setting the standards for organic and natural cosmetics, the COSMOS-standard defines the criteria that companies must meet to assure consumers that their products are genuine organic or natural cosmetics, produced to the highest feasible sustainability practices. Managed by a not-for-profit, international and independent association – the Brussels-based COSMOS-standard AISBL- the...
