Vegan Skincare: What does it mean and Why should we choose it?
Recently, veganism is becoming more and more popular in many countries. Whether it is choosing to decrease meat consumption or following a completely plant-based lifestyle, an increasing number of people are moving towards implementing a vegan lifestyle due to health, environmental and animal welfare concerns.
Since being vegan is a great way to act with social and environmental responsibility, why should we not apply the same principle and philosophy to our skincare routines? Thanks to the development of hi-tech formulas, vegan and 100% natural products guarantee quality and effectiveness on the skin.
Vitamins A and E, contained both in vegetables and fruits, and zinc, present in nuts, play an important role in having a healthy skin. People who switch to a vegan diet tend to notice a significant reduction in blemishes and skin irritation. Read on to find out everything you need to know about vegan skincare.
WHAT DOES VEGAN SKINCARE MEAN?
By definition, vegan beauty products contain no animal or animal-derived ingredients. In fact, vegan skincare is all created without using any ingredient coming from any animal.These include: beeswax, honey, lanolin and dairy products. It is different from cruelty-free products, as some products are made without being tested on animals, but still contain ingredients such as: milk and honey that derive from them.
WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE VEGAN PRODUCTS?
Choosing to use vegan products in our daily routines is not only a way to safeguard the animal world, but it is also a way of helping and protecting our skin. Vegan skincare offers a series of benefits and active ingredients that nourish the skin; plant-based ingredients that are present in many vegan formulas contain more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural oils that help repair and moisturise the skin. These ingredients include: vitamins A, C and E, oils such as coconut, argan and rosehip, seaweed, soy extracts, seeds and flower extracts and Goji berries.
Vegan skincare products also tend to be more delicate on the skin. In fact, people who have sensitive, easily irritated or allergy-prone skin may find these products particularly helpful as they contain less ingredients that could worsen bad skin conditions or that could cause allergic reactions.
As the beauty world is increasingly more conscious on which lifestyle choices are the best for ourselves and the environment - whether it be using recycled packaging or ethically sourced ingredients - choosing to start using vegan products will undoubtedly guide you through one of the many small steps that lead towards living and conducting a more sustainable lifestyle.
