Whether you’ve recently adopted a vegan diet and are keen to use vegan skincare products too, or you just want to make more conscious choices when it comes to your skincare routine, we’ve put together some vegan skincare top tips so you can enjoy beautiful skincare that is completely free from animal ingredients.
What is vegan skincare?
Vegan skincare are products created without using any ingredients derived from animals, including animal by-products.
It’s different to cruelty-free, where a product may not have been tested on animals but still contains ingredients like milk, honey, collagen and keratin. This means it’s still not vegan!
Why choose vegan skincare?
There are lots of reasons to choose vegan skincare. The fact that no animals are harmed or exploited for skincare ingredients is a really important one for many people.
Vegan products aren’t just kinder to the animals, they’re kinder to your skin, as they tend to contain less ingredients that are likely to irritate or aggravate your skin, which means they can be a great option for sensitive skin.
All ingredients are taken from plants, so they contain lots of vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals and natural oils, helping to repair and maintain soft skin.
Many vegan products are also 100% natural and organic, meaning they’re better for the environment as they break down into non-harmful components. Enjoy the added bonus of feeling guilt-free knowing you’re still doing your bit for the planet when choosing your skincare!
