Black Friday | The Opal Essentials Collection

Please refer to each individual product listing for full ingredient details and safety information.

Are your products hand-made?
Yes! Most of our products are hand-made in the UK, and we take special care to ensure all our products are checked and produced to the highest standards.

Are your products cruelty free?
Yes! Animal welfare is a cause close to our hearts, as the whole team are animal lovers with many pets between us. Whilst our products are not officially certified as ‘cruelty free’, we do not conduct or commission animal testing on ingredients, formulations, or finished products.

Are your products vegan-friendly?
Yes! We are proud that all of our products are ethically conscious and of the highest quality, crafted from premium ingredients that do not contain any animal derivatives or animal by-products.

Are there micro-plastics in your products?
None of our eyeshadows, pigments, or skin care products contain micro-plastics. However, our Special Effect Glitters are non-biodegradable. We are committed to helping our environment, so ask that you please discard the glitters carefully by placing them in the bin instead of washing them into the drainage system.

Is your mica ethically sourced?
Yes – our mica is lab-created from natural ingredients, not mined, as we do not support the working conditions of traditional mica mining. This lab-created mica perfectly mimics mined mica.

Do I need to do a patch test before using these products?
Yes. It is very important to ensure every product is patch tested before using it on the sensitive skin on your face and eyes, especially if you have sensitive skin. To patch test, apply a small amount of product to your wrist, inner elbow, or behind your ear and allow to sit for 24 hours.

What is the best way to photograph my makeup looks?
Our products use light sensitive ingredients, so harsh light can make the colours appear washed out. We find that low, natural light displays the colours at their best.

How do I get in touch with you?

⚠ California Proposition 65 Warning
Some of our loose pigment products include a California-mandated label due to the presence of Silica or Titanium Dioxide in their loose, airborne form. These ingredients are common in cosmetics and are considered safe when used as directed. This warning is a legal requirement for sales in California and does not indicate a safety issue with our products. All Karla Cosmetics formulas comply with UK, EU, and US cosmetic safety regulations.
