At Gondwana Macadamias, we’ve always believed the land gives us so much, and it’s up to us to give back. That’s why we’re proud to announce a new partnership with the Platypus Conservancy.
For every bottle of EASE - Macadamia Joint & Muscle Spray Mist and every jar of Macadamia Mineral Face & Body Scrub sold, 50 cents will go directly to supporting vital conservation efforts.
Why the platypus matters
The platypus is one of Australia’s most fascinating animals, a duck-billed, web-footed enigma that has captured imaginations for centuries. But while it’s a symbol of resilience, its survival is not guaranteed. Habitat loss, pollution, and changes to our waterways have placed populations under real pressure.
Spotting a platypus in the wild is rare, even for those who live close to creeks and rivers. They’re shy, mostly active at dawn and dusk, and their populations are difficult to track. This is why the research carried out by the Platypus Conservancy is so critical. It helps scientists understand where these animals still thrive and where urgent intervention is needed. Without this knowledge, protecting them becomes guesswork.
The Platypus Conservancy is dedicated to protecting this species through research, habitat monitoring, and public awareness programs. Supporting their work means helping to secure the future of a creature that’s as unique to Australia as the macadamia nut itself.
A natural connection with Gondwana Macadamias
Macadamias and platypuses might seem like an unlikely pair, but both are deeply tied to Australia’s natural story. Macadamias are native to our rainforests and have been part of Indigenous culture for thousands of years. The platypus, equally ancient, is a reminder of the delicate balance that sustains our creeks and rivers.
For us, this partnership just makes sense. Our products are inspired by the landscape, and this initiative is a way to give back to it.
Meet the products that give back
Both of the products supporting this initiative recently received Silver at the 2025 Clean + Conscious Awards, a recognition we’re incredibly proud of.
EASE ~ Macadamia Joint & Muscle Spray Mist is a lightweight, fast-absorbing spray designed to soothe tired joints and muscles.
Made with Australian macadamia oil, squalane, and a blend of botanicals including rosemary, ginger and peppermint, it’s the go-to for recovery and comfort. Keep it by your bedside, in your gym bag, or on the go, it’s practical wellness that fits into everyday life.
Macadamia Mineral Face & Body Scrub is a creamy, exfoliating blend that leaves skin smooth and glowing.
With sugar crystals, nourishing macadamia and safflower oils, plus an uplifting citrus note from lime and rockrose, it’s a little jar of radiance that makes everyday care feel special.
Every time you choose one of these products, you’re also choosing to support the future of the platypus.
Both products are proudly Australian-made, crafted with care for people and the planet. The recognition at the Clean + Conscious Awards reflects not only their effectiveness but also Gondwana’s commitment to sustainable ingredients and ethical choices, values that align perfectly with supporting wildlife conservation.
Every choice we make can create a small ripple effect
Looking after yourself and looking after the environment don’t have to be separate. By adding these products to your skincare routine, you’re taking one small step to become part of a bigger story. One where self-care and conservation go hand in hand.
Together, we can help the platypus remain part of Australia’s story for generations to come.
