About Natural Common Scents

Our Story

It all started with a need for something better. Frustrated by the harsh chemicals in everyday skincare and pet grooming products, we set out to create a range that was safe, gentle, and truly natural. What began as a kitchen experiment quickly grew into a community of conscious customers who care deeply about what goes on their skin—and their pets'.

Today, we’re proud to be a family-owned business rooted in sustainability, transparency, and kindness. We make everything ourselves, in small batches, right here in Aotearoa.

Our Ingredients Philosophy

We use:
- **Pure essential oils** for scent and therapeutic benefits  
- **Castile soap** made from olive oil for gentle cleansing  
- **Natural butters and waxes** like shea, cocoa, and beeswax for deep hydration  
- **No parabens, sulphates, or synthetic fragrances—ever**

Our products are safe for sensitive skin, babies, and even your furry friends. If it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for you.

​

🐾 Pet-Friendly & Proud

Our **Dashing Hound** grooming range is specially formulated for dogs, with lick-safe ingredients and calming scents. From deodorizing sprays to paw balms, we make sure your best friend gets the same natural care you do.
