Announcing our Partnership with CleanHub
INIKA Organic x CleanHub We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with CleanHub to take action on plastic pollution! At INIKA Organic, we’ve drastically reduced our plastic footprint by revamping our packaging to include 90% sustainable and reused materials like aluminum, sugarcane, post-consumer recycled plastic, and glass. This initiative has minimised our virgin plastic use by 84%. However, we’re not stopping there. Our partnership with CleanHub ensures that the plastic we do use is fully offset. We’ve committed to recovering and recycling 5,000kg of plastic waste in 2025 - meaning we’re effectively achieving 0% plastic waste. For every product sold, more plastic is collected, recycled and prevented from entering our oceans than we use. That’s the equivalent of 100,000 plastic bottles - a significant step in our journey toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Here’s what real users love about INIKA Organic Natural Tanning Mist: “Best Natural Tan Yet”“This natural tanner didn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. I achieved a much darker tan than with other natural tanners, and it looked so natural!” – Melissa “Lightweight and Natural”“I have combination skin and often find gradual tanners cause breakouts. INIKA’s formula is the exception! It’s lightweight, absorbs easily, and smells delicious. The glow is even and stunning!” – Elizabeth “Beautiful and Simple”“The mist spray makes application so easy, and the tan is beautifully natural. I’m thrilled with my first purchase of this product!” – Natalie How to Use Getting your perfect glow is effortless: Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, exfoliated skin. Exfoliating and moisturising the day before application for a smooth surface and even coverage. Apply: Spray the mist evenly over your skin, holding the bottle 10cm from your skin. Use your hands or the INIKA Organic Tanning Glove to blend. Build: For a deeper tan, apply a second layer and allow the colour to develop over a few hours. Moisturise: It is a good idea to moisturise your skin after the tan has fully developed, preferably with an oil-free moisturiser. This helps to prolong the life of your tan by minimising the shedding of dead skin cells. Most Common Natural Tanning Questions What is the main difference between a natural and a chemical tan? The main difference between a natural and a chemical tan lies in the source of the DHA (dihydroxyacetone) used to create the bronzed effect. Natural tanning products use DHA derived from natural sources (like sugar beets, sugar cane and by the fermentation of plant derived glycerin) which are typically gentler on sensitive skin. Is fake tanning bad for your skin? Fake tanning isn’t inherently bad for your skin, especially when using high-quality, natural products. Unlike UV tanning, which can damage skin cells and accelerate aging, fake tanning offers a safer alternative to achieve a sun-kissed glow without harmful exposure to UV rays. INIKA Organic Natural Tanning Mist, in particular, is formulated with 100% natural, non-toxic ingredients. Its gentle, toxin-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and works to reduce pigmentation and age spots while delivering an even, streak-free tan. Choosing natural, high-quality tanning products ensures you can enjoy the benefits of a bronzed look without compromising your skin's health. How long does fake tan last for? Tanning mists clings to dead skin cells all over the body which naturally turnover every 5-7 days. The drier the skin, the quicker to shed. With the right preparation, hydration and aftercare, you can create a bronzed glow that fades evenly and allows the skin to prepare for the next application. Does applying multiple layers at once make it last longer? No. The skin cells will still turnover at the same rate - every 5-7 days. However, reapplying should be more effective with hydrated, smooth skin and quality a product. Ready to Glow Naturally? Elevate your beauty routine with INIKA Organic Natural Tanning Mist - the safe, effective way to achieve a healthy, sun-kissed glow. Start glowing today with a product that prioritises your skin’s health and your peace of mind.
Achieve Visibly Radiant, Even-Looking Skin with The Renew + Restore Peel
When it comes to skincare, exfoliation is one of the most effective ways to reveal a fresh, radiant complexion. And with so many exfoliating products on the market, choosing one that is not only effective but also gentle on your skin can feel like a challenge. The Renew + Restore Peel strikes the perfect balance, combining powerful active ingredients with the best of nature to give your skin that fresh, luminous glow. Let’s dive into why this product should be a staple in your skincare routine. What Makes INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel Special? The Renew + Restore Peel delivers a non-toxic exfoliating solution that promotes smoother, healthier-looking skin. One of the standout features of this peel is its use of ACB Fruit Mix; a powerful blend of naturally derived fruit acids that help to exfoliate and nourish the skin. This key ingredient works harmoniously with other actives in the formula, such as AHAs, PHAs, and natural exfoliating particles, to deliver a visibly smooth and even complexion. Let’s take a deeper look at how ACB Fruit Mix works and why it’s a game-changer in skincare. What is ACB Fruit Mix? The Renew + Restore Peel contains 20% of the ACB Fruit Mix which consists of standardised extractions of five plant species including: bilberries, sugar canes, oranges, lemons, and sugar maple. This mix contains the perfect blend of natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), capable of improving moisturisation while simultaneously increasing the production of structural components, such as collagen and glycosaminoglycan, as well as reversing cutaneous atrophy. The Benefits of ACB Fruit Mix ACB Fruit Mix is proven to moisturise skin over time: The ACB Fruit Mix is capable of increasing moisturisation over time when used in a rinse-off application*. With ingredients like sugar cane and lemon extract, the peel helps hydrate the skin during exfoliation. These extracts provide essential moisture and maintain skin hydration, leaving it soft, plump, and smooth. ACB Fruit Mix is proven to promote skin cellular renewal: The natural acids from sugar maple and lemon extract gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells whilst encouraging skin cell turnover. This process reveals fresher, healthier skin and promotes a glowing, even complexion. Additionally, this provides a protective barrier from harmful chemical and environmental exposure that can lead to premature aging. ACB Fruit Mix is proven to promote collagen synthesis: The antioxidants and natural sugars in bilberry and orange extract help stimulate collagen production, supporting skin elasticity and firmness. This reduces fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother, more youthful skin. ACB Fruit Mix is proven to reduce excessive oxidative stress in skin: Oxidative stress in skin plays a major role in the aging process and is caused by UV irradiation, pollutants, and foreign substances; this is where the ACB Fruit Mix comes into play. Studies have shown a 32% reduction in reactive oxygen species levels with a 1% use of the ACB Fruit Mix, which will assist attenuate characteristics of cellular aging*. Incorporating INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel into Your Routine With its ACB Fruit Mix and other powerful ingredients, INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel is easy to integrate into your skincare routine. Simply use it once or twice a week for a boost of exfoliation and rejuvenation. The gentle formula means you can enjoy the benefits of exfoliation without the irritation that sometimes accompanies harsher treatments. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities. Apply the Peel: Smooth a thin, even layer of the Renew + Restore Peel over your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on: Let the product sit for 10-15 minutes. You may feel a mild tingling sensation, which indicates the exfoliation is working. Rinse: Wash off with lukewarm water and follow up with your favourite moisturiser. If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to exfoliate your skin and reveal a glowing complexion, the INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel is a must-try. The combination of AHAs, PHAs, and natural exfoliants offers the perfect balance of power and gentleness, giving you radiant, even-toned skin without irritation. With regular use, you’ll notice smoother, brighter skin that feels refreshed and rejuvenated. ---------------------------------------- *Studies not conducted on INIKA Renew & Restore Peel
Introducing INIKA’s Beauty Warrior, Robyn Lawley
We're excited to introduce INIKA’s Beauty Warrior, Robyn Lawley. As Australia’s most celebrated curve model, mother, author, podcaster and environmental activist, Robyn epitomises everything that INIKA Organic stands for; authentically natural, sustainable, and purpose driven.
Making real-world impact through our sustainability initiative
Last year INIKA Organic became the first Certified Plastic Neutral makeup brand globally. We wanted to tackle the plastic crisis head-on and make a real difference in our community at the same time. This is why we decided to partner with certifiers Waste Revolution to measure, reduce and offset unavoidable plastic use. To become ‘plastic neutral’, we purchase plastic offsets, which fund the collection and recycling of an equivalent amount of nature-bound plastic. Money from offset credits goes towards Waste Revolution’s impact partners; waste management companies responsible for collecting and recycling the plastic. Waste Revolution’s flagship project is partnering with Albury-based recycler Plastic Forests to fund the production of post-consumer recycled plastic fence posts. INIKA’s offsets have funded the production of over 800 fence posts made from these ‘hard to recycle’ plastics. “These posts are perfect for this situation, plus being the lightweight plastic they are, they’re not going to break in a flood, they’re perfect for this environment. Also being a recycled material, it’s saving the planet, it’s not going into the water, it’s not going into landfill, it’s going into something constructive.” – BlazeAid volunteer These recycled posts are then donated to Australian farmers, to help them rebuild paddock fencing after floods and bushfires, with the assistance of BlazeAid volunteers. BlazeAid is a volunteer-based organisation that works with families and individuals in rural Australia after natural disasters. Working alongside rural families, their volunteers help to rebuild fences and other structures that have been damaged or destroyed. “Some of the places we’ve worked on, it’s just been heart-wrenching to hear the stories of what people have lost, what they’ve been through, but also it’s very encouraging the resilience of people getting through the floods and the fires. We’ve been to places 3 years ago that have been hit by bushfires, and now we’re back building the fences and helping them on their properties after floods.” – BlazeAid volunteer We are proud to see the real-world impact that our plastic offsets are having on the environment and its people – notably, Australian farmers and regional communities who have been devastated by floods (and previously bushfires), in desperate need of assistance to rebuild. “I can’t believe they gave the posts to us, it’s unbelievable. We didn’t have the money to buy them, I had a business before the flood came through, and I lost the business… we were stuck. BlazeAid turned up and showed us these plastic posts, perfect, the flood shouldn’t affect them.” Having BlazeAid step in and fix the fences has given us hope. My mental health is so much better, I’ve got a future again”. – Australian Farmer
