New York City is fierce.” She says, “They seem like they are so different but they can work together. Kjaer Weis is both. A trailblazer, merging these two worlds of luxury and sustainability without compromise. We are making the new norm."INGREDIENTS THAT WORKWhether it’s developing a lip color based off the hue of an old tee-shirt or personally inspecting each new batch for consistency in color and texture, Kjaer Weis ensures that not only are all our ingredients Certified Natural or Certified Organic, but that they always reach the standards of luxury beauty.

The metal compacts, inscribed with white enamel “KW” logos, are housed in a red lacquer, grain-textured cases similar to jewelry boxes. Like a true relic, these compacts hold weight and will last - the perfect embodiment of how beauty, luxury and sustainability can coexist. | Series A / Apr 06, 2020 | |
