I am an organic chemist working with the synthesis of natural products. I don't think it's common for chemists within this field to refer to chemicals that have undergone several addition steps as "natural", and certainly not when communicating with non-chemists.

Note that the term "natural product" has very precise meaning in chemistry, which is different from what non-chemists would intuit. I would normally not use that term when talking to non-chemists.
