Of natural NZ skincare
Same team. Same ingredient standards. New range built for problem skin.
"To help as many young Kiwis as possible feel confident in their skin — without the synthetic, the spa price tag, or the boring packaging."
Bacne. KP. Chest breakouts. Bumpy upper arms. Dry, flaky lips. The kind of stuff a $200 dermatologist visit feels like overkill for, but you still want something that *actually works*. That's what we make.
Same team that's helped 100,000+ Kiwis with sensitive skin. Now for problem skin.
SkinClear is a new line from Curtis and the team behind PrimalPantry — the Christchurch-based natural skincare brand that has supplied over 100,000 Kiwis with tallow-based products for some of the country's most sensitive skin.
PrimalPantry is built for dry, irritated, eczema-prone skin — gentle and quiet. SkinClear is built for the opposite end of the spectrum: younger Kiwis with body breakouts, KP, and chapped lips who want something vibrant, fun, and a little sherbety. Same standards, same Christchurch workshop, completely different product.
The detailed story of why we're launching SkinClear, and what made us realise there was a gap, is something the team is still putting into words — watch this space.

Sugar scrub isn't a magic bullet. But for the stuff below — physical exfoliation + cold-pressed oils does more than most $80 imports.
Bacne (back acne)
Raw cane sugar physically clears the clogged pores on your back and shoulders. Most users see a difference in 5–10 days of regular shower use.
KP (chicken-skin arms)
The bumpy upper-arm stuff is dead keratin. Sugar buffs it. Cold-pressed oils soften the surrounding skin. Bonus: the Mint Mojito feels amazing.
Flaky, chapped lips
Our 15g lip pots clear flaky skin in 30 seconds — perfect prep before lipstick, or just before kissing someone who deserves it.
⚠️ Body only — sugar scrubs are too abrasive for the face. If you have severe or cystic acne, please see a derm.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Naturally sourced
Every ingredient is naturally derived. No parabens, sulphates, synthetic dyes, or plastic microbeads — ever. We read the label so you don't have to.
Made in Aotearoa
Hand-blended in our Christchurch workshop, using Kiwi-grown oils and botanicals wherever the seasons allow. Small batches mean fresher product and zero waste.
Kind by default
Cruelty-free, packaged in recyclable glass jars, with vegan options across most of the range. We donate 1% of every sale to NZ-based environmental clean-ups. Beauty shouldn't cost the planet.
If we wouldn't put it on our own skin, it doesn't go in the jar.
Every formula is built on the same four-ingredient backbone: raw NZ cane sugar, a cold-pressed carrier oil, a botanical essential oil, and vitamin E. Everything else is a guest, not a resident.
- No parabens, sulphates or phthalates
- No synthetic fragrance or dyes
- No plastic microbeads — sugar dissolves naturally
- Glass jars, recyclable aluminium lids
