About Atomica

Who They Are, Where They Started, and How Membership Works
Who’s behind Atomica?

Atomica is a modern Australian beauty retailer launched by Wesfarmers Health,
the health and beauty arm of one of Australia’s largest retail groups, Wesfarmers.

Atomica was created as a new-generation beauty concept, distinct from traditional pharmacy-led stores.
While it draws on the retail expertise and infrastructure behind Priceline, Atomica operates as a standalone beauty destination, with its own identity, store design, and brand curation strategy.

The focus is clear:
curated beauty, modern discovery, and a more considered in-store experience.

The first Atomica store

Atomica’s first-ever store opened in November 2024,
at Castle Towers Shopping Centre (NSW).

This location served as a pilot store, introducing Atomica’s new retail format — clean design, edited brand mix, and a calmer approach to beauty shopping.

From there, the concept quickly expanded across multiple states.

Where you can find Atomica stores

As of now, Atomica stores are located in major shopping centres across Australia, including:

New South Wales

  • Castle Towers (NSW)

Victoria

  • Chadstone
  • Doncaster
  • Chirnside Park
  • Geelong

Western Australia

  • Ocean Keys

Most Atomica locations are positioned in high-traffic retail hubs, making them easily accessible while still feeling more boutique than mass-market beauty chains.

Atomica Membership

Simple, Familiar, and Designed for Regular Shoppers

One of Atomica’s strengths is that it doesn’t overcomplicate loyalty.

Atomica operates in alignment with the Sister Club membership system, which is already widely recognised by Australian beauty shoppers.

What this means for customers

Customers can:

  • Earn points on Atomica purchases
  • Redeem rewards across participating beauty and health retailers
  • Access member-only offers, promotions, and exclusive pricing
  • Enjoy birthday rewards and seasonal bonus events

There’s no separate Atomica-only sign-up required —
for many shoppers, the membership feels familiar and seamless.

Why this matters from a retail perspective

From an industry point of view, this membership structure lowers the barrier to entry.

Customers don’t need to:

  • learn a new loyalty system
  • manage multiple beauty memberships
  • change how they already shop

Instead, Atomica benefits from existing customer trust, while offering a completely different in-store experience.

It’s a smart balance:

  • new concept
  • established loyalty
  • minimal friction

Final thoughts

Atomica is still a young brand — but it’s built on a strong foundation.

With the backing of a major retail group, a clear curation philosophy, and a loyalty system customers already understand, Atomica is positioning itself as a quietly confident player in Australia’s evolving beauty landscape.

It’s not trying to compete by volume or noise.
It’s competing through clarity, design, and trust.
