ONE SKIN. ONE PLANET. ONE CARE.

WHAT IS VEGAN SKINCARE?

Vegan skincare or vegan cosmetics refers to skincare products, make-up, and toiletries, such as body and face washes, that do not contain animal-derived ingredients. There are many ingredients, which are made from what animals produce, such as beeswax, honey or milk that are used in skincare products. When sourced responsibly, these ingredients are renewable solutions, which are not only gentle on your skin but also respectful to animals who made them.

WHY IS VEGAN SKINCARE IMPORTANT?

In today's world, sustainability and environmental consciousness are at the forefront of many people's minds. As such, there has been a growing emphasis on reducing one's carbon footprint and making environmentally-conscious choices in daily life.
Vegan formulated cosmetics are a great way to support the transfer to more sustainable choices. Vegan ingredients show the contribution of treating our nature with respect better and being conscious of our resources. Additionally, vegan cosmetics support animal welfare.

As the beauty industry continues to prioritize sustainability and ethical sourcing, using vegan formulated skincare products can be a small but meaningful step towards more conscious consumerism.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VEGAN SKINCARE?

Vegan skincare has a number of benefits for both your skin and the planet. Here are just a benefits to using vegan skincare products:

1. Vegan skincare products are formulated with a wealth of nourishing plant-based ingredients that provide a range of skincare benefits. These ingredients are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which help to restore and maintain healthy, soft skin.

2. In addition to being good for your skin, vegan cosmetics can also be better for the environment. Animal agriculture can have negative impacts on the planet, and choosing vegan skincare helps to reduce the demand for animal-derived ingredients in the beauty industry.
