About TNS

Brief History
Created in Melbourne, Australia in 1995 by Dr. Robert Ippaso, The Natural Source is one of Australia's leading natural skincare, hair care and beauty companies.

TNS has more than 600 products in 6 ranges. They are Terra Firma, Daintree, Hi-Shine Hair Care, Mayaltha Body Treatments, The Natural Source Organics and Camouflage Colour.
All products are formulated by our team of leading naturopaths, dermatologists, ethno-botanists and cosmetic chemists who have blended the best that science and nature have to offer.

Our natural and naturopathic skin care came about due to the rise in environmental awareness and the effects of ignoring nature with regard to our landscape and wildlife, and most importantly - ourselves.

The Natural Source therefore supports the growth of healthy produce and sustainable agricultural practices. We believe eco-conscious agriculture leads to increased soil fertility, diverse habitats for wildlife, reduced water pollution, minimal use of finite resources and healthier and known product ingredients.

So ingredients used by The Natural Source are free from animal testing, nasty preservatives and excessive ecologically damaging packaging. The water, for example, used in the products is natural spring water and not purified with chemicals.

The Natural Source products are sold in approximately 1500 retail outlets in over 26 countries worldwide. These outlets include The Natural Source branded retail stores, premium department stores, pharmacy and perfumery chains and airport duty free stores.

The first TNS store opened in Australian in 2001 and there are now TNS stores in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brunei, France and the United Arab Emirates with more stores opening all the time.
