Our Products
As we strive to use the best possible combination of ingredients for each individual product, we developed our Triple Tint Lip Balms this year as a formula made with 100% naturally derived ingredients. Infused with a subtle coconut scent, the Lip Balms nourish the delicate skin of your lips with nutrient-rich superfoods such as sweet potato extract, quinoa seed oil, and açaí berry oil.
However, a formula made exclusively with natural ingredients is not always the best choice for every product. That’s why we intentionally combine naturally derived and synthetic ingredients to create formulas that deliver the best possible performance.
Vegan.
Our entire product range is free from animal-derived ingredients. To ensure the best possible performance, we combine naturally derived and synthetic ingredients in our formulas.
Cruelty-free.
We are PETA-Approved as a 100% vegan and cruelty-free company. Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we ensure throughout our entire product development and manufacturing process that no animals are harmed for our cosmetics.
PETA
As the world's largest animal rights organization, PETA is committed to protecting animals through a wide range of campaigns and initiatives. Its work drives meaningful change, improving the lives of animals and helping to prevent animal suffering worldwide.
The PETA-Approved Vegan Global Animal Test Policy logo can only be used by European cosmetics companies that have successfully passed PETA's rigorous verification process. To receive this certification, companies must demonstrate that neither they nor any of their suppliers or manufacturers conduct, commission, or pay for animal testing.
In addition, companies must sign PETA's Global Animal Test-Free and Vegan Statement of Assurance, confirming that their products are free from animal-derived ingredients.
Dermatologically tested.
The safety of our products is our highest priority. That's why every KESS product is dermatologically or ophthalmologically tested, ensuring a safe and gentle experience for your skin and eyes.
Innovation and Sustainability
Across all of our product packaging, we are committed to using resources responsibly and continuously exploring innovative, more sustainable packaging solutions. We distinguish between primary packaging, which comes into direct contact with the product, and secondary packaging, which protects and presents the product.
For every product, our goal is to create packaging that combines exceptional performance and quality while minimizing its environmental impact.
In addition, all of our secondary packaging is made exclusively from FSC®-certified paper. The raw materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests that meet high environmental and social standards.
Your Contribution
Would you like to help us make the beauty industry more sustainable and reduce our environmental impact? We believe that every small step counts—and with a few simple yet effective conscious choices, you can embrace a more sustainable lifestyle at home, too.
One of the easiest ways to make a positive difference for both animals and the planet is to choose products that are vegan and cruelty-free. Once you've found products you love and created countless looks with them, you can continue making an impact by disposing of their packaging responsibly.
By separating packaging materials and recycling them clean and correctly, recyclable materials can be returned to the circular economy and given a second life.
Together, we can make a difference and we’re counting on your support.
