The interconnection and resultant interrelationship between humans and nature is a recurring theme in Back to Nature, an ABC documentary series that explores Indigenous connections with the Australian landscape. Creation stories play a strong role in understanding the way Indigenous people relate to country. “Ancestors came to country, they fell to country as stars,” recounts academic and trawlwulwuy woman Emma Lee. “They came down to trouwanna [Tasmania] and picked up some soil and they took it back up in the stars and they raised up our first person, palawa. Kangaroo man. There is no difference between us and kangaroo grandfather… This is family. It’s the ancestors that we are looking after.”⁠ ⁠ Kosciuszko National Park, Australia⁠ ⁠ #australia #backtonature ⁠⁠ ⁠

It's ocean therapy for Matilda, a multi-tasker for Koala Eco. "Spent my hour in nature this week swimming in Coogee's ocean pool! Beautiful to clear my mind." ⁠📷 by Matilda ⁠ #koalaeco⁠

At Koala Eco, we strive to make a positive impact on those around us. On a company level, we’ve recently introduced a new practice that encourages and compensates our team to spend an hour in nature as part of their work week, an act that helps just about anyone lead happier and healthier lives. Meanwhile, each and every purchase of a Koala Eco product marks a donation to 1% for the Planet, an organisation that distributes funds to approved environmentally-focused non-profit partners. We also support Port Stephens Koalas and WWF Australia⁠ ⁠ #koalaeco

{Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Rosalina Pillow & Linen Spray}⁠ 🌿 ⁠ The (transcendental) power of three: helping you to breathe and sleep deeply ⁠ ⁠ Close your eyes. Imagine inhaling the cool and cleansing scent of rain-soaked Eucalyptus. Combine it with a dash of resinous Peppermint, and the woody lavender mellowness of Rosalina, the Australian bush lavender. ⁠ ⁠ Immersed in this bouquet of soothing aromas, wouldn’t you just want to drift off into dreamland? So we’re excited to bring you our Natural Pillow and Linen Spray, created from the essential oils of nature’s three best stress-relieving and anti-inflammatory botanicals.⁠ ⁠ Misted lightly on your pillow, the decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties of Eucalyptus and Peppermint help keep airways clear (so you can breathe comfortably and deeply) while Rosalina’s lavender scent helps to calm and soften you into sleep. ⁠Founders and followers of the nineteenth-century Transcendentalist movement (think Emerson and Thoreau) believed immersion in nature to be a deeply spiritual and enriching experience. In this frenetic world, two centuries later, that belief seems to us more important than ever. ⁠ ⁠ With this Natural Pillow and Linen Spray, we’d like to think it’s possible to bring a little of nature’s sublime essence into your homes. ⁠ ⁠ #koalaeco #pillowandlinenspray #eucaluptus #peppermint #rosalina⁠

A new product from Koala Eco: Natural Pillow and Linen Spray with Australian Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Rosalina Essential Oil ⁠🌿 ⁠ The essential oils from three of nature’s best stress-relieving and anti-inflammatory botanicals are combined to powerful effect in Koala Eco’s latest product, a Natural Pillow and Linen Spray. ⁠ ⁠ Misted lightly onto pillows and bed-linen, the decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties of Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) and Peppermint (Mentha piperita) help keep airways clear—enabling better breathing—while the woody lavender scent of Rosalina (Melaleuca ericifolia) helps to encourage a sense of calm and relaxation. ⁠ ⁠ The thinking behind this product has been to offer something that brings a bit of nature’s sublime essence into people’s homes, creating an experience as emotionally satisfying as it is sensory. ⁠ ⁠ The Natural Pillow and Linen Spray was somewhat inspired by the nineteenth-century Transcendentalist movement, whose members included writers and nature enthusiasts Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. ⁠ ⁠ The Transcendentalists believed immersion in nature to be a deeply spiritual and enriching experience, and that the natural world offered the key to better self-understanding and wellbeing.⁠ ⁠ I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch, two centuries later, to take guidance from that belief, because our relationship with nature in our busy lives is perhaps more precious and healing than ever.⁠ ⁠ We wanted to create something to help promote a restorative night’s sleep while evoking a little of that sense of spirituality and wellbeing. Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Rosalina are perfect ingredients for the task, celebrated for their calming and cleansing properties, and a spray offers a safe, easy and natural way to freshen pillowcases and linen. ⁠ ⁠ As with all Koala Eco products, the spray is biodegradable, non-toxic, eco-friendly and plant-based. It is not tested on animals and is safe for use around children and pets when used as directed. ⁠ ⁠ Every Koala Eco product sold triggers a donation to environmental charity 1% for the Planet. ⁠ ⁠ #koalaeco #newproduct⁠

To rid wooden furniture of dust… try our Natural Floor Cleaner⁠ ⁠ Simultaneously contemporary and stately, wooden furniture forms the cornerstone of decor in many living rooms. However, it’s often pretty obvious when a piece of wooden furniture requires a little TLC; a coffee table is marred with glass and cup ring marks from afternoons well spent, or a handsome bookcase begins to accumulate dust. ⁠ ⁠ Cleaning wooden furniture can often be finicky, with the wrong cleaner damaging the finish of the wood. Fortunately, part of the formulation process for our Natural Floor Cleaner involved product testing on a variety of surfaces, including wood, marble, concrete, and porous stone. Utilising peppermint and mandarin essential oils, our Natural Floor Cleaner is effective without being harsh or abrasive, making it ideal for use on wooden furniture. ⁠ ⁠ To eliminate stains, dust, and dirt from your drawers, shelves, and tables, simply use our Natural Floor Cleaner in the same ratio as on floors; and wipe down with a soft cloth is all it takes to ensure an effective clean. Plus, our unique formula prevents dust and lint from resettling, making it easier to keep your furniture spotless for longer. ⁠ ⁠ #kolaeco⁠
