About Eco Traders | Evidence-Based Natural Health Experts

Evidence-Based Natural Wellness.

Australian and family-owned, committed to natural products that truly work.

MEET DR MATHEW MCDOUGALL (PhD, RN)

Hi, I’m Mathew — founder of Eco Traders Australia. I’m a PhD researcher and Registered Nurse with a long-standing interest in evidence-based natural wellness, gut health, and the way food, stress, and lifestyle shape whole-body wellbeing. I started Eco Traders here in Woy Woy, NSW, to make high-quality, clinically-aligned wellness products accessible to Australian families. My approach is simple: no hype, no greenwashing, and no products I wouldn’t confidently use or recommend myself. Every item we stock is reviewed through a clinical lens — ingredient integrity, formulation quality, safety, and real-world effectiveness matter far more than marketing buzzwords. Eco Traders is a 100% Australian-owned, family-run business built on trust, care, and community. Thanks for being here — I’m genuinely glad you found us, and I hope our resources and products help you feel your best.

“For me, it’s simple — I want my family, and yours, to have access to better choices. Cleaner products, honest ingredients, and guidance grounded in real evidence, not marketing spin. That’s why I started Eco Traders: to support healthier homes, champion Australian makers, and build a community that values transparency and care. It’s never just about selling products — it’s about helping people live well.”

OUR APPROACH

We don't just sell products — we curate them with clinical rigor. Dr. Mathew reviews every item for ingredient integrity, scientific evidence, ethical sourcing, 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 your family deserves products that actually work — not just products that sound good. That's why we stock only evidence-based natural wellness essentials: proven safe, genuinely effective, and transparently sourced. No greenwashing. No empty promises. Just wellness you can trust.

OUR MISSION

We're here to make evidence-based natural wellness easy, affordable, and accessible for every Australian household. No greenwashing, no sneaky additives — just honest products from brands that share our values. We've already helped over 5,000 Australian families embrace healthier, low-tox living, and we're just getting started.

OUR STANDARDS

Every product we stock must pass a strict review before it reaches our shelves. We assess ingredient integrity, supporting evidence, safety, sustainability, and brand transparency. If it doesn’t meet our standards — or we wouldn’t use it ourselves — it doesn’t make the cut. These principles guide every decision we make, giving you greater confidence and clarity.

With over 300 brands and 5,000+ products, every item is assessed for ingredient integrity, safety and real-world results, so you can shop confidently for your home, your health and your family.
