Vegan cosmetics are becoming more and more popular. Maybe you weren't vegan, but you preferred vegan in your skin care products. There are several reasons for this - taking care of animals, taking care of the environment and taking care of yourself and those around you.

What does vegan produce mean?

There are vegan and cruelty-free products. Both are often called vegan, but there is a big difference between them. Vegan products contain no animal or animal-derived ingredients. Cruelty-free means that the product is not tested on animals at any stage of preparation.

Which ingredients are of animal origin? - In order for the product to receive the status "vegan", it is necessary to be granted a certificate. According to the standards set by the US Vegan Awareness Foundation, a product can carry the vegan logo if it does not contain:

 • Animal meat/fat/fur

 • Poultry meat/fat/feathers

 • fish or fish oil

 • Eggs and egg products

 • milk and milk products

 • Animal by-products, including: silk or insect dyes

 • Honey and any fruit products - wax, propolis, etc.

Honey and bee products are often the subject of controversy, but the basic standard is that they should not contain them.

Why are vegan cosmetics good for our skin?

 •The human body absorbs 60% of skin care products. Non-vegan products are often full of chemicals, while vegan products are environmentally friendly, free of chemicals, and contain less harmful substances in our body.

 • Vegan skin care products do not contain lanolin (an ingredient derived from sheep's wool), which has a tendency to clog pores.

 • Vegan cosmetics are made with hypoallergenic ingredients and are gentle on the skin.

Vegan products have a short list of ingredients. Always check the dosage when choosing a product so you know what you are using on your face, body or hair.

Vegan skin care products are thought to be expensive. However, this is often not the case and is no different than non-vegan products.

Why are vegan cosmetics good for our hair?

There is also a misconception that vegan hair care products do not properly cleanse and condition the hair and scalp. This is not true.

  • Vegan shampoos and conditioners actually contain ingredients that cleanse and nourish hair. It gently cleanses and is therefore suitable for sensitive hair and scalp.

  • Its ingredients list does not include synthetic and harsh chemicals, including: SLS, parabens, dyes, silicones, etc. Therefore, it is suitable for the whole family.

  • Also, it is less likely to cause allergies, as the product is free of chemicals and animal ingredients, making it safe for people with sensitive skin.

  • The plant-based formula is safe for both humans and the environment as it is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

No matter if you are nutritionally vegan or not, remember that vegan cosmetics are better for the environment, for you, and of course, better for the animals.
