Celebrating the Natio Mums this Mother’s Day
Natio would not be what it is today without our incredible team. We're so lucky to have some truly wonderful mums as part of our family so this Mother's Day, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the women who help bring Natio to life every day, and who go home to do it all over again.
We asked six of our Natio mums to share the products they love and a little bit about what motherhood means to them. We hope their words warm your heart as much as they warmed ours!

What do you love about being a mum? Unconditional love and affection. Watching my kids grow into their own personalities- each with their own amazing talents and gifts to offer the world. I have loved learning how to be more patient, more selfless and to be able to see the world through their eyes. I love being their Mum and their friend.
What makes you proud to be a mum? It is such an honour to be their mum- watching them thrive each and every day. They are my life's greatest work. They are my legacy. They will always be what I am most proud of ❤️

Fave Natio product? That's such a hard question, I’m a convert to so many. The calm cleansing milk, the calm nourishing night cream - both double daily staples for me - I have dehydrated skin and the combo in the morning and night gives my skin a complete moisture reset.
Also the new Dream Skin CC cream SPF 50 – Ive been lucky enough to be testing this for a while and its just amazing for natural coverage, colour balance and feels so weightless on the skin. I cannot wait for more people to try this!
What do you love about being a mum? There's so much to love about being a mum. Its definitely not an easy job and it challenges you in ways you never expected. Your kids always need you to support them in different ways and as they grow the guidance changes. I've learned a lot about flexing to my kids and helping to navigate the world around them. They make me laugh and I love watching them achieve a new skill or set a goal and work to achieve it.
How do you hope the role of Mum evolves in the future? I would love to see a future where AI supports women to have more free time and be creative and caring in the world. I think Mums are the optimal multitaskers and have experience and a lense that has potential to change the world for good.

Fave Natio Product? The Ageless Daily Moisturiser SPF 50+. As I've gotten older, I am far more conscious of using an SPF every day. I find this moisturiser is perfect by itself or underneath makeup.
What makes you proud to be a Mum? I often get told what good manners they have which makes me feel incredibly proud that I'm raising 3 great human beings!
What's your favourite part of the day as a mum? Anytime they come over for a cuddle I'm reminded how lucky I am to be a Mum.

Fave Natio product? The Aromatherapy Natural Vitamin E Moisturising Cream is my favourite product and has become my everyday go-to. What I love most is how nourishing yet lightweight it feels, it absorbs easily without greasiness while still feeling hydrating.
What's your favourite part of the day as a mum? My favourite part of the day as a mum is what I call “bedtime chats.” I tuck my daughter into bed at night, and we curl up together. She tells me about her day, the things that made her happy or confused, the tiny details I would have otherwise missed, and the wonderfully random thoughts that only seem to appear at bedtime. It’s in these bedtime chats that I feel the deepest connection to her. They remind me how lucky I am to be her mum, to be trusted with her thoughts, her questions, and her growing heart.

Fave Natio product? The Calm Delicate Care Cleansing Milk, it's gentle yet still effective and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple!
What's something you love about being a mum? To be able to be part of my children's lives and watch them grow and become the person they are today

Fave Natio Product? Ageless Hydrating Face Fluid - the perfect combo of lightweight moisture and SPF, so even when I'm busy I know my skin's protected.
What's your favourite part of the day as a mum? The morning wake-up - my son toddles into the kitchen and gives me a big hug every day and it's divine.
What's something you want to see for your childs future? I hope that renewable energy and sustainability become the standard, not the goal, and that he lives in a future where the natural world is a priority.
