No way, José. It’s simple. Kester Black products aren’t for animals, so they have never, and will never be tested on animals.

Yes, indeed. All Kester Black products are 100% vegan.

Take a look at our labels and you’ll find ingredients that would fit right in at brunch: like olive oil, kefir, and organic avocado oil (pass us a side of sprouted sourdough, won’t you?). We use only the highest quality ingredients and organic, where possible.

And because we like to be as transparent as possible, we share a full list of ingredients on every product page.

Our smart, stylish and very clever founder/creative director Anna Ross is the creator of all things product.

Together, the KB team works with the best beauty manufacturers in Europe to help bring her visions to life. What you get is the result of years of research, trial and error, blood, sweat, and tears (literal tears because we’re BIG on crying).

In order to produce the best quality cosmetics, our products are manufactured in Australia, France Italy and New Zealand.

More specifically, our lipsticks are made in Italy, our nail treatments and some of our nail polishes are made in France, while other nail polish colours and removers are made right here in Australia. Our new skincare line is all manufactured in New Zealand.

We have no information to suggest that the ingredients we use, or the formulas we’ve made, pose a threat to pregnant women when used appropriately.

Our legal team even gave us a fancy, formal description about it:

‘We manufacture cosmetics and other products according to the ISO 22716:2007 GMP for Cosmetics standard. The products supplied by us are cosmetics that have been assessed to be safe for use as cosmetics when used according to the recommended methods of use and wear.’

But it’s such a personal decision, and totally up to the mama-to-be. If you’d like some more detailed info about our formulas or specific ingredients, drop us a line, we’d be more than happy to share this info with you.

Heck yes, our products are palm oil free.

Sadly, they are not all palm oil derivative free.

Confusing, right?

Some of our products contain palm-derivative ingredients which cannot be removed and replaced with a suitable and sustainable alternative. Stearalkonium bentonite, found in nail polish, is one of those ingredients.

This is an industry-wide issue and something we are actively working to address. Unfortunately, the alternatives that meet our ultra-high standards aren’t that easy to come by and those that are, have their own environmental challenges (think coconut oil and deforestation, eek).

Despite this, we are continually working on improving our products and minimising their environmental impact; from the ingredients to our packaging and postage.

Stick around, as it won’t be long before we’re forging new territory on this front.

The following palm-oil derivative ingredients are components that can’t be removed from some products, without a suitable and sustainable alternative.
-Stearalkonium Bentonite(found in all nail polishes on the planet)
- Disteardimonium Hectorite(found in our lipsticks)
- Isododecane(found in our lipsticks)Propylene carbonate (found in our lipsticks)
- Isocetyl Stearate(found in our lipsticks)Synthetic beeswax (found in our lipsticks)
- Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate(found in our lipsticks)

Naturally.

We design with the end-life of our products in mind, manufacturing in quantities we know we’ll use, with as much recyclable packaging as possible.

And while our shipping boxes are 100% ‘Grammable, they’re made of 100% uncoated recycled stock and vividly printed with soy inks. Our jiffy bags prove that perhaps rock can beat paper after all; they’re made from recycled limestone (no, really). Of course, it was always going to look good, but we demand it does a world of good, too.

What even IS real life? But before we get existential on you, we can confirm that colours appear differently depending on the monitor or screen you’re using.

From glorious Apple Pro Retina screens to our humble smartphones, colours can display differently due to brightness, blue-light filtering, and power-saving settings.

You may need to recalibrate your screen to ensure all colours appear accurately before purchasing.

Please note that we cannot exchange nail polish or lipstick products for hygiene reasons. Please review our returns policy for clarity.
