Health and personal care

This department leans towards the natural and traditional end of health rather than the pharmacy aisle: blackseed oil and capsules, shilajit, herbal supplements, hair and beard oils, simple skincare, and miswak for oral care. Much of it is rooted in remedies that have been used for a very long time.

It is also one of the least expensive departments, which is why these items are so often added to an order or included in a gift set. Miswak in particular is among the cheapest things in the shop and among the most frequently repurchased.

Questions and answers

What does the health and personal care range cover?
It covers natural supplements such as blackseed and shilajit, hair and beard oils, basic skincare and miswak for oral care. The emphasis is on traditional and natural remedies.
What is blackseed oil used for?
Blackseed, or kalonji, is one of the most widely used traditional remedies and is taken as an oil or in capsules. It is best to speak to a doctor or pharmacist about your own circumstances before starting anything new.
What is shilajit?
Shilajit is a mineral rich resin used in traditional medicine, sold here as a resin, capsule or gummy. As with any supplement, check with a healthcare professional before taking it, especially alongside other medication.
Are these products certified or tested?
Certification and testing vary by supplier and anything provided is stated on the product page. These are supplements and traditional remedies rather than registered medicines, so read the labels.
Can I take these with prescription medication?
That is a question for your doctor or pharmacist rather than for us, since interactions depend on what you are already taking. We are a retailer and cannot give medical advice.
What hair oils do you stock?
The range covers traditional hair and beard oils, including blackseed and herbal blends. Ingredients are listed per product, which matters if you are prone to reactions.
Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?
Ingredients are listed on each product page and that is the place to check, since sensitivity is individual. Patch testing anything new on a small area first is sensible.
Is miswak part of this department?
Yes, miswak and oral care sit here, and miswak is one of the most frequently bought items in the range. It has its own page for the different sizes and varieties.
What does this range cost?
Health and personal care starts from around R10 for a miswak stick and runs to roughly R370 for premium supplements. It is one of the most affordable departments in the shop.
Can I buy supplements in store?
Yes. Cii Stores is a physical shop in Ormonde, Johannesburg, and reading labels in person is easier than online for anything you are taking. You can also order for delivery across South Africa.
Do supplements have an expiry date?
Yes, and it is printed on the packaging. Store them sealed and out of direct heat and sunlight, which is what shortens shelf life fastest.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Standard shipping is R160 and orders are delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Delivery is free on orders over R1000.
Can I return a health or personal care item?
Consumable items can only be returned unopened and in their original sealed packaging, within 7 days. Please note that sale items are non refundable.
