Clean, Conscious, and Clever: Why Kine Australia’s Plant-Based Body Cloths Are the Upgrade Every Family Needs

If there’s one thing parents can agree on, it’s that wipes are life. From school runs and snack explosions to long drives and beach days, they’re the unsung heroes of every bag, glove box, and bathroom. But what if your go-to wipe could do more than just clean up the mess? What if it could also care for your skin and the planet?

That’s exactly what Kine Australia has achieved with its new Plant-Based Cloths – Australia’s first certified-flushable, biodegradable, and locally made alternative to traditional wipes.

Why Traditional Wipes Miss the Mark

Most of us grab wipes without thinking twice, but behind that “convenience” often hides a bigger problem. Many traditional wipes are made from synthetic plastics, petroleum fibres, and harsh preservatives that linger in waterways and landfills for decades. They don’t fully break down, they irritate sensitive skin, and they often come from overseas factories — meaning each pack carries a hidden environmental cost.

Kine Australia has rewritten the story, crafting a new kind of wipe that’s as gentle on your family’s skin as it is on the earth.

Made for Modern Life — and the Planet

Kine’s Plant Based Body Cloths are created using 100% renewable cellulose fibres that fully biodegrade within 180 days — no microplastics, no guilt. Dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, pH balanced, and free from alcohol, parabens, and sulfates, they’re safe for all skin types, even the most delicate.

Each cloth is infused with soothing botanicals — chamomile to calm, jojoba to hydrate, and vitamin E to protect — making them ideal for freshening up after the gym, before school pick-up, or on family trips. They clean effectively while leaving your skin soft and nourished, not dry or sticky.

And yes, they’re certified flushable  to Australia’s AS/NZS 5328 standard, dispersing safely in water without clogging pipes or harming wastewater systems. It’s true sustainability you can actually use every day.

Born from a Father’s Vision

Kine Australia’s story starts with founder Mark Yates — a father who wanted something better for his family. After relying on wipes during his children’s early years, he watched trusted brands move production offshore, replacing quality with hidden plastics and cheap manufacturing. Determined to create a safer, more responsible alternative, he launched Kine in 2025, combining innovation, Australian manufacturing, and clean ingredients to design a product that delivers without compromise.

As Mark explains, “We wanted to create something parents could trust — wipes that are safe, effective, and sustainable, without greenwashing or hidden trade-offs.”

Made Local, Made Better

Proudly produced in South Australia, Kine’s local manufacturing model reduces supply chain emissions by up to 50% and supports Australian jobs. Every pack represents a commitment to sustainability, from the materials used to the freight choices that lower emissions. Independent studies show that Kine’s life-cycle footprint is 20% smaller than conventional wipes — proof that local really does mean greener.

Flushable, Flexible, and Family-Friendly

Kine Body Cloths come in two sizes to fit every routine:

• Regular Size (210mm x 130mm) — perfect for home bathrooms, gym bags, or daily self-care.

• Travel Size (170mm x 90mm) — small, portable, and ideal for handbags, prams, or car trips.

Multipacks start from $27 RRP and are available as single purchases or flexible subscriptions, so you’ll never run out (a parent’s dream). They’re available nationwide and online at www.kine.com.au.

Why Parents Are Making the Switch

Parents today are more conscious than ever — we want products that are effective, trustworthy, and kind to both our families and the environment. Kine ticks every box. It’s the wipe that replaces all others: practical enough for messy hands and faces, refined enough for post-gym freshening, and safe enough for sensitive skin.

And honestly, once you’ve used a wipe that doesn’t leave your skin sticky or your conscience heavy, it’s hard to go back.

Sustainable Care Meets Real Life

What sets Kine apart isn’t just its environmental credentials — it’s the fact that it actually works. It cleans thoroughly, feels luxurious, and is engineered for modern living. No greenwashing, no gimmicks, just genuinely better hygiene made right here in Australia.

Because sustainability shouldn’t mean sacrifice — and everyday care shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Stay tuned for our Behind The Brand Feature!
