A glimpse at the past

From its humble beginnings in a Brisbane town hall arcade to a trusted and globally recognised health brand, Blackmores is transforming the health and wellness landscape for good.

Maurice Blackmore understood that you can't have healthy people without a healthy planet

Pioneering Natural Health

In 1932, Blackmores was founded by Maurice Blackmore (1906-1977), an English immigrant whose views on natural health, preventative medicine, the environment and recycling were nothing short of radical at the time. Blackmore believed that people deserved a choice in how they managed their health and wellbeing, helping to establish some of Australia’s first health food stores, naturopathic colleges and associations.

Blackmores’ 90+ year heritage is still at the heart of who we are today and guides our holistic approach to health and wellbeing. We are proud to be pioneers in natural healthcare and remain committed to delivering new and innovative products, reliable health information and unsurpassed quality to our customers.

Today, the Blackmores Group incorporates 1,200 people across Asia-Pacific and includes Blackmores, BioCeuticals and Blackmores Institute. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kirin Holdings and the cornerstone brand of the Kirin Health Science business. Our headquarters are located in Sydney, Australia and our state-of-the-art tablet and soft gel capsule manufacturing facility is located in Braeside, Victoria producing around 3 billion tablets and capsules per annum.

We exist to empower the best health in everyone, naturally.
