The Biome stores are overflowing with learning and products that meet our earth-friendly criteria. We bring you the widest range of natural skin care and green cleaning in Australia, plus many more clever, stylish and practical eco-products.

Beginning in 2004 as an online shop, we grew into a physical store in Paddington (Brisbane) in June 2005 and we have opened our second store located in the Brisbane CBD in August 2007. Looking after our online and telephone order customers all over Australia remains very important to us.

Biome was founded by Tracey Bailey and is still a small, passionate family business. After a career in corporate communications and being blessed with two children, Tracey and her partner wanted a way to be part of the solution to our planet's future.

The Biome concept was inspired by those of us who want to make a difference, but feel the actions we take may have have little impact or simply can not find the products to make more responsible choices.

We believe passionately that the everyday choices of individuals do have the power to transform our world. By living with respect for our planet and all who share it, we empower ourselves, enrich our lives and enhance wellbeing.

One of the experiences that led Tracey to act on her dream was an encounter with orangutans deep in the Kalimantan jungle. In this excerpt from What can I do? by Lisa Harrow, Tracey says "When you look into an orangutan's eyes, it is so close to a human looking back - you can see their emotions, their vulnerability. This magnificent animal is master of its habitat but defenceless against the destruction humans are wrecking. They really are symbolic of the animals and people suffering all over our planet because we are messing with the natural order."
