As a society, we usually connect the word “vegan” and “veganism” with diet. We think of not consuming meat or dairy products and promoting plant-based eating. If you’re looking into making better choices for your body, becoming vegan is a great option because it promotes clean eating. However, when it comes to buying beauty products, not many consumers think of using or purchasing “vegan” merchandises.

What does “vegan beauty products” mean?

When a beauty/skincare product is vegan that means that no animal by-product is used in the making of the good. It also means that the beauty item was not tested on animals before being released to the public. Usually, vegan products are accompanied by a “cruelty-free” sticker. 

So what vegan products should I purchase?
