KESTER BLACK IS ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S LEADING MANICURE AND SKINCARE BRANDS. OUR RANGE IS THE RESULT OF OUR BELIEF IN CRUELTY FREE AND SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED COSMETICS THAT ARE INSPIRED BY BEAUTIFUL DESIGN AND UNCOMPROMISING ETHICAL PRINCIPLES.
We believe that through creative and ethical business, everyone can experience beautiful, quality manicure and skincare products, without adverse environmental or social effects.
Driven to minimize our environmental impact and maximise the quality of our cosmetics, we use sustainable production methods that utilise recyclable materials and small batch manufacturing to minimise wastage. We guarantee that all of our products are vegan and are not and have never been tested on animals either by our company, by anyone on our behalf, or by any of our suppliers.
Our water permeable, breathable nail polishes are high shine, chip resistant and follow the Five-Free formula, providing a manicure as kind to your nails as it is to the planet.
Alongside our vibrant range of nail polishes, we offer a deeply nourishing range of skincare products containing 97%+ natural ingredients and are free from palm oil, parabens, sulfates and petrochemicals.
As part of our initiative to give back, $1 from every sale on kesterblack.com will be donated by us to one of our customers’ choice of our four charity partners.
Kester Black is proudly Australian made and owned and all of our products are accredited by Choose Cruelty Free, Cruelty Free International and the Vegan Society.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER:
Anna Ross is a Melbourne based design enthusiast and businesswoman. In 2012, she founded Kester Black, as a project to redefine the industry standard for ethically produced cosmetics by providing Australian made, professional quality, environmentally produced and cruelty free products that are inspired by beautiful design.
“I have always believed in ethical purchasing and when I was looking for nail polish that was ethically produced and environmentally friendly I was disappointed with what was available. I realised there needed to be a better option for consumers who care about both the ethics and design of their products.”
— Anna Ross, Founder and Director of Kester Black
Kester Black is the result of Anna’s innovative and tireless approach to business, her love for beautiful design and her social and environmental values.
