Vegan skincare

Vegan skincare from clean beauty brands, where the brand states the product is vegan.

How we label vegan skincare

A product goes in this collection when its maker states it is vegan, meaning no animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, honey, lanolin, tallow or animal collagen. Many of these brands also state they are cruelty-free, which is about animal testing rather than ingredients.

Questions

What does vegan skincare mean?

Skincare made without animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, honey, lanolin, tallow or animal collagen. We only label a product vegan when its maker says so.

Is vegan skincare better for sensitive skin?

Not automatically. Plant ingredients can irritate too. Patch test new products and check the full ingredient list on each product page.

Is vegan skincare always cruelty-free?

No. Cruelty-free refers to animal testing. Several brands here, including UpCircle and EpiLynx, state both.
