Our Story
At Kinsman we wanted to create a mens grooming brand that delivered on quality but not at the expense of the earth.
We started Kinsman because we were not satisfied with the current beard oils on the market that often included synthetic fragrance oils. We knew we could create a New Zealand Made brand that delivers all natural ingredients with a texture and subtle fragrance load that didn’t overpower the senses.
Our promise to our customers is that we will never compromise the quality of our products, you will always know exactly what is in a bottle or a jar. We understand that this is your skin. Your glorious beard. Your hard-earned moo-lah. If a formula doesn’t work, it doesn’t go into a bottle and we pride ourselves on our transparency.
The Kinsman difference
ALL-NATURAL
Kinsman products are made with all-natural and responsibly sourced ingredients. We test our formulas to make sure they are functional and of the highest quality.
SUPPORT
Our products are made by men for men, which means we know what our customers expect. Modern grooming is all about that personal touch.
PERFORMANCE
Kinsman products have to feel good, smell good and above all - perform. Our products do what they say they can and we use the highest quality ingredients.
PURPOSE
We have a dream, and that dream is to help beardsman and men alike to have quality New Zealand made products available to them without sacrificing the earth. We are always striving to perfect our recipes and our processes to have minimal impact on the environment.
SUBTLE FRAGRANCES 100% PURE + NATURAL ESSENTIAL OILS.
Our fragrances are subtle by design, we know beard oils can become overpowering to the senses if not treated lightly. That's why we have formulated our oils with a low fragrance load perfect for all day use.
We only use natural essential oils so don't be satisfied with other brands who claim to be all natural but still use synthetic fragrances.
MODERN GROOMING CRAFTED WITH NATURE.
Our products do what they say, we harness the natural ingredients that perform the best for men. Don't be satisfied with synthetic fragrances or ingredients, you and your glorious beard deserve better than that.
