Do I need a cleanser?
No, water is enough. For heavy makeup, or if you like a deeper cleanse, use it with Janie Cleansing Oil.
How do I use it?
- To cleanse: wet the cloth with warm water and wipe your face gently.
- To exfoliate: use small, gentle circles. Don't scrub hard.
- For a warm face routine: soak the cloth in warm (not hot) water, wring it out and hold it over your face for a few breaths.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. You can also use it gently around your eyes.
How do I wash it?
Wash it after use with the KC Cloth & Makeup Brushes Cleansing Soap, rinse well and let it dry. You can also machine wash, tumble-dry and iron it. Don't use fabric softener, because it can stop the fibres from working.
Can my family share one cloth?
We recommend one cloth per person, for hygiene. Choose a different colour for each person.
Janie Face Cleansing Oil
Make cleansing the part of your routine you look forward to. Janie melts through makeup, sunscreen and everyday buildup, and leaves your skin feeling soft, clean and comfortable, without that tight, stripped feeling. Shop Janie Cleansing Oil
What is Janie Face Cleansing Oil?
A gentle oil cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and the day's dirt. Pair it with your KC Cloth for the ultimate cleansing routine.
What's in it?
A blend of jojoba, rosehip, neem and castor oils.
How do I use it?
- Massage a small amount over your dry face, including over makeup.
- Keep massaging gently until the makeup and sunscreen melt away.
- Wipe it off with a warm, wet KC Cloth, or rinse with warm water.
Does it remove sunscreen and heavy makeup?
Yes. It melts through makeup and sunscreen. For heavy or waterproof makeup, massage a little longer and wipe off with your KC Cloth. Repeat if needed.
Won't an oil cleanser make my skin oily?
No. Oil dissolves oil, so Janie lifts away makeup and buildup. When you wipe it off with your warm KC Cloth, your skin is left clean and soft, not greasy or tight.
Do I need a second cleanser?
Usually not. Janie followed by a warm KC Cloth gives a thorough cleanse on its own.
Which sizes can I buy?
100 ml, 200 ml and 500 ml. See prices on the product page.
Pamela Range
Targeted care for fine lines and tired-looking eyes. Two nourishing oils that work together: Pamela Fine Lines Eraser Oil for your face and neck, and Pamela Rejuvenating Eye Oil for the delicate skin around your eyes. Shop Fine Lines Eraser Oil · Shop Eye Oil
What is the Pamela range?
Two face oils made for skin that's showing fine lines and needs extra care. The Fine Lines Eraser Oil nourishes your face and neck. The Rejuvenating Eye Oil gives the eye area its own targeted care.
What does Pamela Fine Lines Eraser Oil do?
It helps soften the look of fine lines and uneven texture, and leaves your skin feeling supple and looking radiant.
What's in Pamela Fine Lines Eraser Oil?
Bakuchiol, Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Avocado Oil and Frankincense Oil.
When should I use the Fine Lines Eraser Oil?
Use it in the evening as the last step of your night routine. Cleanse with your KC Cloth, then press a few drops into your face and neck.
What is bakuchiol? Is it the same as retinol?
No. Bakuchiol is a plant-based ingredient from the seeds of the babchi plant. It's often called a natural alternative to retinol, but it's a completely different ingredient.
What does Pamela Rejuvenating Eye Oil do?
It helps hydrate the under-eye area and soften the look of puffiness and fine lines around your eyes. It's made with Coffee Bean, Prickly Pear Seed and Jojoba oils.
How do I use the Eye Oil?
- Put a tiny amount on your ring finger. A little is enough for both eyes.
- Gently pat it around the eye area, on the bone below and beside your eye.
- Don't rub, and keep it out of your eyes.
Can I use both together?
Yes, they're made to work together. Pat the Eye Oil around your eyes first, then press the Fine Lines Eraser Oil into your face and neck.
Which sizes can I buy?
Fine Lines Eraser Oil: 10 ml roller and 30 ml. Rejuvenating Eye Oil: 10 ml. See the Pamela Range page for more.
Castor Oil
One pure oil, everyday care for the whole family. Our Castor Oil is organic, cold-pressed and hexane-free, with nothing added. It's the same castor oil we use in Leands, Janie Cleansing Oil and RESET Hair Oil. Shop Castor Oil
What makes KC Cloths Castor Oil different?
- Single ingredient: 100% castor oil, nothing added.
- First press, cold-pressed: pressed at about 20 °C, without heat.
- Hexane-free: no chemical solvents are used to get the oil out of the seeds.
- Organic.
Why does cold-pressing and hexane-free matter?
Many cheaper castor oils are made with heat or with hexane, a chemical solvent, to get more oil out of the seeds. Cold-pressing gently squeezes the oil out without heat, so it stays as close to nature as possible, and no chemical solvents are used.
What are the benefits of castor oil?
- Dry skin: helps dry skin feel softer and more comfortable, especially on elbows, knees, hands and heels.
- Locks in moisture: forms a soft, protective layer on the skin that helps hold moisture in.
- Hair: gives hair a glossy-looking finish and helps smooth dry ends.
- Lashes and brows: conditions them so they look glossier and fuller.
- Nails: nourishes dry cuticles.
How does castor oil work on the skin layers?
Your skin has two main layers:
Castor oil is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid (about 90% of the oil). This is what makes it so thick and gives it its cushioning, moisture-sealing feel.
Does castor oil draw water into the skin?
Not really. Castor oil works mainly by sealing in the moisture that's already in your skin. For the best result, put it on skin that's still slightly damp, for example after a shower or after spraying Rose Water.
How do I use it on my skin?
- Start with clean, slightly damp skin.
- Warm a few drops between your fingers. A little goes a long way.
- Massage it gently into the area until it's mostly absorbed.
A patch test is advised before first use.
Why is my castor oil so thick?
That's completely normal. Ricinoleic acid makes castor oil naturally thick and sticky, much thicker than most oils. In cold weather it can get even thicker. Stand the closed bottle in warm water for a few minutes to loosen it.
How long does it take to soak in?
Because it's thick, castor oil takes longer to soak in than light oils. Use only a few drops and give it a few minutes. If you prefer a lighter feel on your face, mix a drop of castor oil with a lighter oil, such as Jojoba Oil, or use Leands, which already contains castor oil.
Can castor oil dry out my skin?
Some people find pure castor oil feels tight or heavy, especially if they use a lot. Use only a few drops on damp skin. If your skin feels tight, mix it with a lighter oil like Jojoba Oil.
How do I use it on my hair, lashes and brows?
- Hair: rub a few drops between your hands and smooth over dry ends, or use a little on your scalp before washing.
- Lashes and brows: at night, use a clean mascara wand or cotton bud to apply a tiny amount. Keep it out of your eyes. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water.
Castor oil conditions hair so it looks glossier and fuller. It doesn't make new hair grow.
Can I use it on my baby or children?
Our Babies, Tots & Kids Castor Oil is for careful, parent-applied use on unbroken skin. Use a small amount and patch test first.
Can castor oil treat eczema or other skin conditions?
No. Castor oil is a natural self-care product. It helps dry skin feel softer, but it's not a treatment for skin conditions.
Which sizes can I buy?
10 ml roller, 100 ml, 200 ml and 500 ml. The Babies, Tots & Kids range comes in 100 ml and 500 ml. See prices on the product page.
DMSO 99.9%
99.9% pure. Fast absorbing. KC Cloths DMSO is a high-purity, lightweight, non-greasy liquid made for careful, targeted use on clean, dry skin. Just 2–3 drops are all you need. Shop DMSO
What is KC Cloths DMSO?
99.9% pure dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). It's a light, non-greasy liquid that soaks into the skin quickly.
Where does DMSO come from?
DMSO is a clear liquid made from a natural by-product of wood processing, from the part of the tree that's left over when wood is made into paper. Ours is 99.9% pure.
How do I use it?
- Wash and dry the area and your hands.
- Apply 2–3 drops to the clean, dry, product-free skin you want to target.
- Let it soak in. Start small, and patch test before first use.
Can I use DMSO on my feet?
Yes, you can apply it to clean, dry, unbroken skin on your feet. Wash your feet first and make sure there's no foot cream or lotion on them, because DMSO can carry whatever is on your skin in with it. Let it soak in fully before you put on socks or shoes. A patch test is advised.
Why must my skin be clean?
DMSO soaks in fast and can carry anything else on your skin in with it, like lotion or perfume. That's why the skin and your hands must be clean and free of other products.
Can I mix it with other products?
Use it on its own, on clean skin with no other products. If you're unsure, WhatsApp us on 060 597 7285 before you try anything else.
It tingles. Is that normal?
A mild tingle that goes away is normal. If it burns, itches or stays red, rinse it off with water and stop using it.
Why can I taste garlic after using it?
This is normal with DMSO and goes away. Your body breaks it down into something with a garlic-like smell, which can show up on your breath.
Who should not use it?
Don't use it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, on children, or on broken or irritated skin. If you take medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
Can I swallow it or use it near my eyes?
No. It's for use on unbroken skin only. Keep it away from your eyes and mouth.
My DMSO has gone solid. Is it spoilt?
No. DMSO turns solid below about 18 °C. Leave the bottle somewhere warm until it's liquid again.
How should I store it?
Keep it closed in its original bottle, away from heat and sun, and away from children. Don't pour it into plastic containers, because DMSO can soften some plastics.
Which size can I buy?
100 ml. See the price on the product page.
Choosing products for your skin
I don't know where to start. What should I buy first?
Start small. The Skincare Sample Pack gives you seven products in small sizes so you can find what your skin likes. If you want a full routine, the Collection Pack includes Janie Cleansing Oil, a KC Cloth, both Leands face oils and Pamela Fine Lines Eraser Oil.
Still unsure? WhatsApp us your age, skin type, your top two skin concerns and what you use now. We'll suggest a routine for you.
What do you suggest for mature or dry skin?
- Leands ADVANCED 2.0: a light face oil that helps skin look firmer and smoother. Voted Product of the Year South Africa 2026 (Skin Care).
- Pamela Fine Lines Eraser Oil: with bakuchiol, rosehip and argan oils. Helps soften the look of fine lines and uneven texture.
- Pamela Rejuvenating Eye Oil: for tired-looking eyes and fine lines around the eyes.
- Moisturizing Face Cream (Mature Skin): a rich cream for dry skin. Use morning and evening.
What do you suggest for very dry skin?
Use a face oil and seal it in with a rich cream. Moisturizing Face Cream and Tallow Balm both help lock in moisture. A few drops of Evening Primrose Oil can add extra comfort.
What do you suggest for oily or combination skin?
Oily skin still needs moisture. Choose light products: Leands ADVANCED 2.0 and Jojoba Oil feel light and aren't greasy. Witch Hazel Spray works as a light toner. Use only a few drops of oil.
What do you suggest for pimples or breakouts?
Keep your routine simple and gentle. Cleanse with your KC Cloth and Janie Cleansing Oil, and don't scrub hard. Hypochlorous Acid Spray is a fresh step after sweating or shaving. A patch test is advised.
Do you have anything for melasma or pigmentation?
Melasma is a skin condition, and our products can't treat it. For skin that looks uneven, Pamela Fine Lines Eraser Oil helps soften the look of uneven texture. A patch test is advised.
Do you have anything for stretch marks?
Our products can't remove stretch marks. Castor Oil and Rosehip Oil help keep skin feeling soft and supple.
Do you have products for men?
Yes. There's the Men's KC Cloth, 4Him Face Oil (light, not greasy, also good for the skin under a beard), Beard Oil and Beard Balm. Witch Hazel Spray gives a cool, clean feeling after shaving.
Do you have products for children?
- Babies, Tots & Kids KC Cloth: cleans little faces and hands with just water.
- Babies, Tots & Kids Castor Oil: for careful, parent-applied use on unbroken skin.
- Bianelle First Glow: a simple three-step routine for pre-teens (cloth, face mist, face oil). The Pre-Teens Sample Pack lets them try all three.
Your routine and using products safely
What is a simple KC Cloths routine?
- Cleanse: massage Janie Cleansing Oil over your face, then wipe it off with a warm, wet KC Cloth. On busy days, the KC Cloth and water alone is enough.
- Refresh: spray Rose Water or Frankincense Hydrosol Mist onto clean skin.
- Nourish: while your skin is still slightly damp, press in a few drops of your face oil.
- Seal (dry skin): finish with a small amount of Moisturizing Face Cream or Tallow Balm.
How much face oil should I use?
A few drops is enough for your face and neck. A little goes a long way. If your skin feels greasy, use less.
How often should I exfoliate?
Scrub 1–2 times a week. Use ReGlow Face Mask & Scrub or the 2 in 1 Botanical Micro-Scrub & Clay Mask, and rub gently.
Are your products natural?
Yes. Our products are natural cosmetic and self-care products. Each product page lists its ingredients.
Are your products vegan?
Not all of them. Tallow Balm contains beef tallow and beeswax. Moisturizing Face Cream and Beard Balm contain beeswax. ReGlow and the Micro-Scrub & Clay Mask contain honey. Most oils, mists and gels are plant-based.
How do I patch test a new product?
Put a small amount on the inside of your arm or behind your ear. Wait 24 hours. If you see redness, itching or burning, don't use it.
Can sensitive skin use your products?
Start with one new product at a time and patch test it first. If you're unsure, WhatsApp us on 060 597 7285 and we'll help you choose.
Can I use your products while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your doctor first, especially before using essential oils or DMSO.
Can I use essential oils straight on my skin?
No. Essential oils are very strong. Always mix a few drops into a carrier oil, such as Jojoba or Grapeseed Oil. Never put them in your eyes. Citrus oils, like lemon and bergamot, can make skin sensitive to the sun.
How should I store my products?
Keep them in a cool, dry place, out of direct sun. Close the lids tightly. Keep them away from children.
My product smells, looks or feels different. What should I do?
Cold weather can change how some products look. Oils can turn cloudy or thick, for example. Stand the closed bottle in a bowl of hot (not boiling) water for a few minutes, and don't let any water get into the bottle. Then check the texture again.
If it still smells, looks or feels wrong, stop using it and WhatsApp us on 060 597 7285 with a photo and your order number. If you're ever unsure about anything, including the expiry date or batch number, contact us.
Lock In Skin Foundation
What is Lock In Skin?
A natural, skincare-based foundation. It gives buildable coverage with a natural, skin-like finish. It's made with jojoba oil, vitamin E and plant waxes.
What is it free from?
No silicones, parabens, talc, microplastics, synthetic fragrance or drying alcohol.
How do I apply it?
Start with a thin layer to even out your skin tone. Then add more only where you need it. Wait until your face oil has fully soaked into your skin before you apply it.
Will it last all day? Is it waterproof?
It's not fully waterproof, and it's not a silicone long-wear foundation. It's made to look natural, not heavy. For longer wear, set it with powder and setting spray.
I have oily skin. Will it move around?
Oily skin may need to set it with powder. Use less face oil underneath on the days you wear it.
How do I find my shade?
Choose your undertone first (warm, cool, neutral or olive), then your depth (how light or dark). If you're between two shades, you can mix them.
The easiest way is the Sample Set, with all 12 shades, so you can test them at home first.
What are the 12 shades?
| Shade | Best for |
|---|---|
| PN01 Porcelain Neutral | Very fair, neutral undertones |
| PW02 Porcelain Warm | Very fair, soft warm undertones |
| LB03 Light Beige | Light, neutral-warm undertones |
| LI04 Light Ivory | Light, soft warm undertones |
| SI05 Soft Ivory | Light-medium, neutral undertones |
| WI06 Warm Ivory | Light-medium, warm golden undertones |
| CB07 Cool Beige | Medium-light, cool or rosy undertones |
| NB08 Natural Beige | Medium, neutral undertones |
| OT09 Olive Tan | Medium-tan, olive undertones |
| WT10 Warm Tan | Tan, rich warm undertones |
| MC11 Mocha | Medium-dark, warm-neutral undertones |
| DE12 Deep Espresso | Deep, rich neutral undertones |
Why does the colour in my jar look different?
Natural pigments and oils can make the foundation look slightly different in the jar. Screens and lighting also change how colours look online. Always test it on your skin.
Can children or teens use it?
Yes, for occasional use, such as dance competitions, photoshoots or stage performances. Use a small amount, remove it gently at the end of the day, and an adult should help.
