How do I store my products?

We recommend storing Kernel products and their refills in a dry environment and at room temperature. Some products may evolve over time due to their high composition of natural materials. These are generally not inert and may tend to change color or odor over time. However, we control the stability of our products in order to guarantee maximum efficiency and safety under normal conditions of use.

Are Kernel products certified organic?

Can I use Kernel products if my skin is reactive?

We advise you, before each use of our products and if your skin is usually reactive, to apply a small quantity of the product in the crook of the elbow before applying to the face. If you do not notice any allergic reactions, you can apply the product to your entire face.

What should I do if I have an allergic reaction to Kernel products?

All our products are tested under dermatological control, however each skin may react or not tolerate an ingredient depending on its sensitivity or current condition, we therefore advise you to stop using it immediately.

What should I do if my bottles are empty?

We advise you not to throw away your bottles! For each Kernel product, we have designed plastic refills made from recycled waste. Once your product is finished, you do not need to repurchase the entire bottle, simply refill your bottle with a Kernel refill. Our refills will allow you to reduce your plastic consumption by 70% compared to buying a standard bottle.

What are the indications relating to the smell of the products?

Our products have a very high rate of naturalness, for this reason, our products may have odors which vary depending on the type of product, but also according to the batch or after opening. The more or less pronounced intensity of the product's odor has no impact on their effectiveness.

What are the precautions for use if I have allergies?

If in doubt about the presence of an ingredient to which you may be allergic in one of our products, do not hesitate to ask us the question in advance and test your product in the crook of the elbow before application to verify that your skin tolerates the product well.

What will be the results on my skin after applying the products?

We invite you to wait several weeks of regular use to see the effects of our products on your skin because cell renewal can take up to 4 weeks. The active ingredients contained in the products can be visibly effective on the skin from 6 weeks. It is also possible that one of our products is not suitable for your skin. Skin reacts differently and is more or less receptive to products depending on numerous factors (skin pH, presence of dead skin, perspiration, etc.) which can alter the effectiveness of the product.

Are your products tested on animals?

None of Kernel's products are tested on animals in accordance with current European regulations. We guarantee that they are not made of animal materials either. Our products are tested in the laboratory on a sample of people as well as with volunteers during our beta test campaigns.

This innovative refill system saves up to 70% of plastic when repurchasing a refill compared to repurchasing a standard cosmetic bottle.

How does our production circuit support women’s cooperatives?

Upstream of our production circuit is the extraction of argan oil which is used in our products. This argan oil is produced by hand by cooperatives of Berber women in the south of Morocco from whom we obtain our supplies, this allows us to support them by purchasing their production at a fair price. We are also committed to donating a percentage of our turnover to these cooperatives. In addition, our partner laboratory also employs 90% women.
