Skincare is more about health than cosmetics. Sure, we all want to look our best, but we need to take care of the largest organ in our body - the one that covers us from head to toe: Your SKIN. It absorbs more than 60% of what we apply to it, so it is very important to use products free of toxins, chemicals, and other harmful ingredients.
While many of the leading skincare products use Gelatin, Carmine, Squalane, Collagen, Beeswax, Cholesterol, Lanolin, and other animal products in their formula, vegan skincare products are derived from synthetic or plant-based materials, allowing your skin to look smooth and youthful without harming the environment or its inhabitants.
Vegan skincare products use fewer ingredients and never use anything that can cause irritation or flare-ups, such as parabens or artificial fragrances. Since there are fewer ingredients in vegan skincare products, it is much easier to understand exactly what you’re putting on your skin, and how it affects you. Nutrient-rich and antioxidant-filled products derived from plant extracts and essential oils can provide a range of benefits for all skin types.
Vegan-certified brands are committed to creating high-quality skincare products without pollutants, harsh chemicals, or animal products. When you choose a vegan skincare product, you’re choosing to help fight for the environment and against the use of animal products, as well as the industries that support irresponsible environmental practices.
