Our Story
Routines
Skincare and fragrance should feel like a moment to slow down, soften and reconnect. This guide shows how our products work together for face, body, hands and home, with notes on our face oils, the order of layers and our scents.
Morning routine
A light start for your face
Morning skin wants light layers that sit comfortably under whatever comes next. This routine is built around the Royal Kalahari Face Serum, a lightweight blend of Kalahari melon and other botanical oils that absorbs quickly and leaves skin soft with a dewy glow. Warm it, press it in and give it a moment to settle.

Evening routine
A slower evening for your face
Evening is unhurried. With nothing waiting on top of your skin, you can take longer over each layer and finish with something richer.

Layering
How to layer
Layering is about order, not quantity. A few simple habits help each product sit well with the next.
- Thinnest to thickestStart with the lightest texture and finish with the richest: toner, then serum, then oil, then cream. Each layer should settle before you add the next.
- Serum before oilPress your serum in first, then add a face oil over it. The oil helps hold moisture in, so it belongs after the lighter layer.
- Oil or night cream last at nightIn the evening, a face oil or a rich night cream is your final step. If you use both, apply the oil first and the cream over it.
- Sunscreen in the morningBy day, finish your routine with sunscreen. Your serum and oil go underneath it, so give them a minute to absorb.
- Patch test anything newTry a new product on your inner arm for 24 hours before using it on your face.
Scents
Our scents
We sort our fragrances into three families: musky, citrus and floral. They are made to be worn alone or layered. Start with a warm base, add a bright or airy note on top, and let the scent settle with your natural warmth. Oud Tobacco and Leather with Violet and Bergamot is deep and refined. Rosewood and Litsea Cubeba with Moroccan Fig and Bergamot is fresh and polished. Hawaiian Black Lava with Violet and Bergamot is soft and luminous. Apply lightly to wrists, inner arms, neckline, behind the ears or the back of the shoulders.
Questions
Questions
In what order should I apply my products?
Cleanse, then toner if you use one, then serum, then a face oil or cream. At night the oil or night cream goes last. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
How many drops should I use?
Use 4 to 6 drops of the Royal Kalahari Face Serum or any of our face oils. Warm them in your palms first, and use a little less if your skin is oily.
Can I mix my oils?
We suggest layering rather than blending: serum first, then one oil over it. A drop of plum or squalane oil can also be stirred into your moisturizer.
Which products are for day and which for night?
The serum and most face oils suit morning and night. Sea Buckthorn suits evenings, because it can tint, and the Ultra Peptide Night Cream is for evenings only.
Can I use these on sensitive skin?
Our face oils and the Royal Kalahari Face Serum have no added fragrance. Even so, patch test any new product on your inner arm for 24 hours before using it on your face.
Can I use these while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your doctor before using any new skincare during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
