VEGAN MAKEUP: WHAT IT IS AND WHY TO CHOOSE IT

VEGAN MAKEUP: WHAT IT IS AND WHY TO CHOOSE IT

Veganism has permeated virtually all products we commonly consume. That’s why we can affirm that the vegan trend is here to stay, and its relationship with makeup brings interesting innovations for all of us.

 

WHAT IS VEGAN MAKEUP?

Vegan makeup has the particular characteristic that neither the product, its manufacturing process, nor the ingredients have been tested on animals. Just like people who have stopped consuming animals or their derivatives, such as milk or eggs in their diet, vegan makeup is not tested on animals.

CRUELTY-FREE LOGOS YOU CAN TRUST

All vegan-origin products should only contain mineral or plant materials or a mixture of both, such as:

  • Cocoa butter: Antioxidants.
  • Rosehip: Softens spots and reduces acne marks.
  • Avocado oil: Moisturizing and softening for the skin.
  • Jojoba oil: Nutrition and as an antioxidant.
  • Shea butter: Regeneration and revitalization.
  • Chamomile: Calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Vitamin E: General antioxidant.

Vegan makeup is a natural product that does not contain ingredients like parabens, silicones, or kinds of paraffin that can be toxic to the skin.

What about Cruelty-Free makeup?

Cosmetic products, as you know, are usually tested on animals, but in recent years, the trend has been constantly changing.

When you find a seal on any cosmetics brand that says Cruelty-Free, it means it is free of animal cruelty or, in other words, its effectiveness was not tested on animals and was not used to test the side effects that such a product could have.

The characteristic seal of these types of makeup is the stamp of a rabbit with pink heart-shaped ears, and the reason for the figure is that rabbits are one of the most commonly used species in cosmetic testing.
