Update: As at 30th of July 2019, Kester Black can no longer claim they are palm oil free. According to their manufacturer, every nail polish in the world is made with an ingredient that contains a palm oil derivative and they are investigating whether or not their nail polishes can be made without it.
It looks like some hella exciting things are going on in the land of Kester Black this year and by gosh am I happy to hear it. You may remember a li’l review I did of their Liquid Hand & Body Wash last year (which by the way, with regular use IS STILL NOT EMPTY) and now they’ve got new besties, Hand & Body Fondant!
The packaging ties in seamlessly with the theme of body products KB have going on right now which is simple, sleek and fun with bright typography. You can choose from two scents that pair up perfectly with the Hand & Body Wash too; Lucky, with a velvety smooth caramel and vanilla scent and Pardon!, a refreshing combo of cedar, amber, thyme oil and bergamot (AKA my fave).
Kester Black’s Hand & Body Fondant is made from 98.6% (v specific) natural content like sweet almond oil, shea butter and coconut oil. The texture is smooth AF and while it’s pretty damn thick, it’s absorbed into the skin surprisingly quickly, leaving behind no slimy residue. The scent is definitely there but it’s not overwhelming and for someone who can be quite sensitive to fragrances (damn you to hell, hay fever!), that’s a pretty important thing to mention.
If that wasn’t enough to win you over, how about the fact this stuff is;
- Palm oil free
- Certified vegan by Vegan.Org
- Certified cruelty-free by Cruelty-Free International
- Australian Made
You may think fifty clams is a fair chunk of change to throw down for a moisturising product but if the extreme longevity of the Hand & Body Wash is any indication, this stuff will go a long way. Only one pump was enough to cover both of my legs and a little of my arms.
So go on, treat yo’self to some Kester Black luxury!
