What is Vegan Skincare?
In short, vegan beauty products are defined as not containing any animal ingredients or ingredients with components made from animals. Some of these ingredients include beeswax, dairy, and more. These products are also cruelty-free and have never been tested on animals. Vegan skincare products should also be ethically sourced and produced.
As you might surmise, without the use of customary ingredients like honey or collagen, vegan skincare products work a little differently but hold many benefits. The approach to vegan beauty is a more gentle one, with an emphasis on active ingredients that work to revitalize skin without being harsh.
Vegan products use alternative active ingredients, essential oils, and natural vitamins to give skin a new kind of care without overusing synthetics or chemical ingredients, though they may still utilize some of these elements in conjunction with these natural ones.
Some of the most popular elements used in vegan skincare include aloe vera, lavender, Vitamin E or C, and more to protect the skin from environmental damage and naturally nourish and moisturize. With these elements, you can achieve an amazing skin evolution without stripping or overwhelming skin, which is important, especially when adopting a new routine.

Why is Vegan Skincare Important?
Vegan beauty is an important step for many to take as they seek to become more low-waste or lower their impact on the environment. Though it’s up to you and your skin to determine which products are right for you, taking a vegan approach could make things a little easier to get accustomed to.
The real importance of vegan skincare lies in ensuring you’re using products that don’t hurt or exploit animals or the environment. Using high-quality plant-based ingredients helps not only your skin but the planet as well!

Benefits of Vegan Skincare
There’s no question that there are tons of products out there that claim to be the best choice for you and your skincare needs, but are they really? Though skincare has come a long way, many products still remain too harsh on your skin or don’t use ingredients that work for you.
The migration to vegan skincare in light of its booming popularity comes in the form of searching for care that uses more natural and sustainable ingredients. Not only do these products skip out on ingredients containing toxins or chemicals, but they infuse skin with nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants that benefit and enhance in the long term.
Vegan skincare can be particularly beneficial to those with sensitive skin types, as more natural ingredients will often be less harsh or irritable. Without animal testing, their more gentle ingredients benefit skin, and animals and are more eco-friendly.
