What is vegan cosmetics?

Vegan cosmetics refer to cosmetic products made without animal-derived ingredients. This means that no animal-derived ingredients—such as beeswax, lanolin (wool fat), casein (milk protein), or gelatin—are used in the production of these products.

Compared to natural cosmetics (which use plant-based and natural ingredients), the term "vegan" is even more specific: It refers not only to plant-based ingredients, but also to the fact that no animal products are included in the formula.

No animal ingredients: Ideal for people who want to avoid animal products for ethical, religious or health reasons.

More environmentally friendly: Vegan cosmetic products rely on natural ingredients and sustainable production methods that have less impact on the environment.

Free from animal testing: The products are not tested on animals, thus ensuring better animal husbandry and protection.

To ensure that a product is truly vegan, you should look for various seals and certificates:

• Vegan certificates such as the Vegan Society logo or the PETA logo.
• Cruelty-free seals, such as the Leaping Bunny symbol.
• Ingredient information: 100% vegan cosmetics will generally not contain animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, lanolin, or gelatin. It's worth reading the ingredient list carefully.
