Our exciting news in 2017, is that McArthur Skincare will be expanding further to include a new Skin Moisturising Whitening Cream and a line of baby skincare products.
Now of course, not everything could happen at all the one time, so the new brand refresh will be progressively rolled out across our product lines. So, McArthur Natural Products will continue to exist instore on shelf, until the stock transition is complete. At the same time, new marketing material will be made available to all leading pharmacies and health food stores who currently stock our range throughout Australia, to inform consumers of the brand refresh.
The McArthur Skincare range of skin, body and hair care products all contain our unique McArthur Pawpaw Extract™. All of our products outline on their front label the percentage of our Pawpaw extract in them. This enables an easy comparison to discover that the products from McArthur Skincare have much higher concentrations of Pawpaw extract in creams than any other Pawpaw skincare brands.
The enzyme-rich Pawpaw in McArthur Pawpaw Extract™ is excellent for cleansing and soothing, ensuring smoother, clearer, more supple skin, from the use of our beauty products.
Our therapeutic range of products are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods and each contain high concentrations of their natural active ingredients which have been traditionally used in herbal medicine namely; Aloe Vera, Chickweed, Arnica and Chamomile. With therapeutic products remember to always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
We refuse to use petrochemicals, sulphates and parabens.
Your wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. If you would like to know more about our range, or give us feedback on any of our products, we would love to hear from you.

Chemical Free Beauty
Your skin is the largest organ of the body and absorbs 60% of what you apply to it. For this reason, what you put onto your body matters just as much as what you are putting into your body.
According to the Environmental Working Group, the average woman uses 12 “beauty” products per day, containing about 168 ingredients.1 That is a lot of ingredients being absorbed into the skin, and if you are not careful many of those could be toxic!
Sometimes, these ingredients not only fail to nourish and soothe skin but can actually make it worse, leading to more wrinkles, fine lines, and dryness in the future.
Is this what you want in your skin care?
Of course not. You buy skin products to care for your skin, and to look better and younger. To help you avoid those products that will only derail your anti-ageing efforts, we outline 5 key ingredients below that you must avoid if you want to be kind to your skin:
Sulfates: These are harsh, corrosive, and drying ingredients you will find in many cleansers, body washes and even shampoos. These chemicals are also used in floor scrubbing solutions, engine degreasers, and car-wash soaps and shampoos. They cause skin irritation and corrosion, and over time, lead to increased dryness and in turn more visible fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, studies have indicated that sulfates can age the skin. Avoid “sodium laureth sulfate” and “sodium lauryl sulfate.”
Parabens: Found in a variety of everyday products such as cosmetics, face cream and shampoo to name a few. Researchers in Japan say that methylparaben, commonly contained in a range of topical facial cosmetic products that are used on a daily basis, may cause skin to age prematurely when exposed to ultraviolet rays.2 Ironically, this compound can be commonly found in products designed to fight the effects of ageing. Researchers believe that these results mean a higher rate of wrinkling, dark spots and other signs of ageing such as diminished skin tone.
Petroleum/Mineral oil: It comes from petroleum, and it forms a sort of film over the skin, clogging pores and hindering the skin’s natural ability to get rid of toxins. With extended use, it can encourage acne and actually irritate and inflame skin. The result is an aging effect that can make fine lines and wrinkles much more visible.
At McArthur Natural products we strongly advise against using products containing harsh chemicals on your skin which is why our products contain no petroleum, parabens, added sulfates or any harsh chemicals whatsoever.
