ABOUT THE BRAND
What makes blk products uncomplicated?
Our makeup and skincare products are designed to take the guesswork out of your routine and simplify your life. This is why we’re big on creating formulas and formats that are super easy to use, versatile (meaning, they can multitask!), and ultra-convenient for everyone.At blk, there are no complicated steps or intimidating how-to’s; just quick and no-fuss application—the kind that you can do even if you’re pressed on time or on the go. Life is complicated enough as it is, after all. Your makeup shouldn’t be!
So you don’t test on animals?
Definitely not! We love animals and would never harm any creature, big or small, just for the sake of beauty. In fact, blk is one of the first few local brands to get an official cruelty-free certification from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and it’s something that we’re really proud of.
Pure & Kind beauty? What does that mean?
Thoughtfully made with good intentions, blk products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and created using only pure, ethically-sourced, and skin-loving ingredients. They’re also free of harmful junk, specifically these eight yuckies: parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLEs, mineral oil, dyes, alcohol, artificial silicone, and artificial fragrances.
We’re also not in it simply for the business; we’re a beauty brand with a heart. Aside from making sure our products are kind to you and your skin—made with pure, safe, and gentle ingredients—blk is keen on doing good for the community and for the environment.
A portion of our sales go to causes and initiatives we believe in, such as 1% of the planet, a global organization that exists to ensure our planet and future generations.
