About Us - Eco Traders Australia

Driven by Values, Powered by Nature

Discover the story behind Eco Traders – Australia’s trusted home for sustainable, natural living.

MEET DR MATHEW MCDOUGALL

Hi, I’m Mathew — the founder of Eco Traders Australia. Based in Woy Woy, NSW, I created Eco Traders to share my belief in natural living, holistic health, and the healing power of food as medicine. I’m passionate about supporting the gut–brain connection, helping families reduce sugar in their diets, and making wellness more accessible to every household. Every product we stock is carefully chosen to support your health and the planet — no greenwashing, no nasties. Eco Traders is a 100% Australian-owned, family-run business built on trust, care, and community. Thanks for being here — I’m truly glad you found us.

“For me, it’s simple — I want my family, and yours, to have access to better choices. Cleaner products, honest ingredients, and businesses that genuinely care. That’s why I started Eco Traders — to help build healthier homes, support Australian makers, and strengthen the local community. It’s not just about selling products, it’s about looking out for one another.” — Dr. Mathew McDougall

OUR APPROACH

We don’t just list products — we handpick them. Every item in our store is reviewed for ingredient integrity, ethical sourcing, sustainability, and real-world effectiveness. If it’s not something we’d use ourselves, it doesn’t make the cut. That’s our promise to you.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe conscious consumerism is one of the most powerful tools for change. Every product you choose is a vote for a cleaner planet, a more ethical supply chain, and better health for your family. That’s why we exist — to help you make better choices, every day.

OUR MISSION

We’re here to make sustainable living easy, affordable, and accessible for every Aussie home. That means no greenwashing, no sneaky additives—just pure, honest products from brands that share our values. We’ve already helped over 5,000 Australian households embrace a low-tox lifestyle, and we’re just getting started.

OUR STORIES

Eco Traders was founded by Dr Mathew McDougall and is proudly family-owned and operated from Woy Woy, NSW. What began as a personal search for safer, more conscious products for our own household has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who want to shop better — for their health, their families, and the planet.
