KD One Skincare & Cosmetics

"This one came in recently and it made our day. 🌿

"I have been using KD One's products since way back when Kareen had her shop on Victoria Street, and I will always go back to them. Whether it's a delicious night creme, a gentle shampoo for dyed/damaged hair, a soothing hand lotion or a simple lip balm, their products are high quality, lovely scented, effective, all natural — and cost friendly on the purse. Before you go anywhere else for your skin care, hair care, cosmetics, for ladies and gents — check out KD One. You'll be glad you did!" — JV
This is why we do what we do. Honest, plant-based products, handmade in New Zealand.

Dry, tight skin in July? This is the one we keep reaching for.

Light Hydrating Plus Facial Moisturiser with UMF 16+ Manuka Honey is our go-to daily winter moisturiser — Manuka Honey to help support hydration, with a light nourishing feel that works beautifully under makeup or on its own.

Not heavy, not greasy. Just soft, comfortable skin and a little extra care for New Zealand winter conditions.

$54.95/50ml. Handmade in NZ. Message us to order or link in bio.

Cold air outside, heating on inside. Your skin is working harder than usual right now.

When the cold strips back your skin barrier, moisture escapes and everything feels tighter, drier, and a bit reactive. Most people reach for more product — but the fix is actually simpler than that.

Three things that make a real difference this winter:
1. Swap to a gentle cleanser (harsh ones strip the barrier further)
2. Apply your moisturiser to damp skin — not dry
3. Less scrubbing, more nourishing

As Matariki approaches, we’re reflecting on what KDOne is really about: looking after your skin and body with honest, plant-based products made right here in Aotearoa.
Thank you for being part of it this year. Here’s to a new one filled with health, warmth, and a little everyday self-care. 🌿
Mānawatia a Matariki.

New month, new skin. ☁️
July is deep winter — the perfect time to reset your routine. Exfoliate gently twice a week to clear away dry, dull skin, then lock in moisture while your skin’s still damp.
Our Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub does the first job beautifully. $29.95 / 100ml, made in NZ.

Looking for a thoughtful Matariki gift? 🌟
A little KDOne winter set is a lovely way to say “slow down, you deserve it” — the Hand & Body Cream for dry winter skin, the Soothing Lip Balm, and the Soothing Antiseptic Balm for the cracked, weather-beaten bits.
Handmade in NZ, kind to skin, and always well received. Message us and we’ll help you put something together.

A winter tip for the cracks the cold leaves behind 🌿
Split knuckles, cracked heels, rough cuticles, the odd graze — winter is hard on skin that takes a beating. A dab of our Soothing Antiseptic Balm last thing at night does the quiet work while you sleep. Made with New Zealand manuka honey, naturally antibacterial.
$35 / 50ml, handmade in NZ. www.kdone.co.nz

Matariki is almost here (Friday 10 July) — the Māori New Year, and a time to pause, reflect, and look ahead.
Mid-winter is the perfect moment to slow down and look after yourself. A few quiet minutes for you isn’t indulgent — it’s how you refill for everything else.
How are you planning to mark Matariki this year?

Winter hands take a beating — wind, cold, and constant washing.
A pump of our Hand & Body Cream before bed and they wake up soft, not cracked. Avocado oil, vitamin E and evening primrose, with a clean lemongrass scent. Light, never greasy.
$24.95 / 100ml. Handmade in NZ.

Every KDOne product is made by hand, in small batches, right here in New Zealand.
No giant factory. No mystery ingredient list. Just formulations created by Kareen Holland and made with care — the same way they’ve been for years.
Small batch means fresh. And it means we know exactly what’s in every jar.
