Vegan make-up: Win-win for your skin and the environment
Vegan make-up is incredibly popular at the moment: We don't need animal products to improve our appearance. Plant-based or synthetic alternatives can easily replace animal products in make-up that is not tested on animals. Parfumdreams has put together an extensive range of vegan make-up that includes the right make-up for every woman.
Vegan make-up is incredibly popular because it ticks a lot of boxes:
- Clear conscience: Not a single animal has to suffer for make-up that is not tested on animals. In regular make-up, insects are used for the red dye, as well as lanolin from sheep and gelatine from animal bones.
- Better environmental protection: One important reason behind the vegan way of life and vegan make-up is the fact that plant-based products are less harmful to the environment than animal substances. Intensive livestock farming results in lots of harmful emissions – not to mention the distress experienced by the animals.
- Fewer irritants: Vegan make-up tends to be better tolerated by the skin than conventional products. People with problem skin are usually impressed with vegan make-up. Not only is it as effective as regular make-up, but it also calms the skin and is less likely to result in itchy eczema or acne.
- Sustainable consumption: Manufacturers of vegan mascara or vegan nail polish tend to be known for their environmental awareness. This can also be seen in the packaging, which is designed just as sustainably as the make-up itself.
Vegan make-up is the perfect choice for conscientious consumers who want to keep their environmental footprint to a minimum without having to forgo make-up.
Vegan make-up: What it comes down to
Neither the term "vegan make-up" nor "natural cosmetics" are regulated by law. This means that a manufacturer can assign these labels to its products as it sees fit. A clear distinction is, therefore, not possible. The only way you will know is by looking at the list of ingredients and the quality seal.
The term "certified natural cosmetics" requires the regulations of a specific seal or certificate to have been observed. Substances such as honey and other animal products are usually permitted in these natural cosmetics. Unfortunately, "natural cosmetics" does not automatically mean that the products have been developed without animal testing. The only way to find out more is to look more closely into the brand – by checking their website, for example. When selecting a product, you will need to look closely at the listed ingredients: The only way to be certain that the make-up contains no animal products is to familiarise yourself with the individual components of vegan mascara or vegan nail polish, or to look for specific labels on the packaging.
What seal is there for vegan make-up?
Vegan is so trendy right now that some manufacturers have developed their own vegan seal. The yellow & green vegan flower, however, was introduced by the Vegan Society England in 1990. This seal guarantees vegan make-up that is not tested on animals and contains only plant-based ingredients. The strictest seal is the vegan label of Vegane Gesellschaft Deutschland e.V. Vegan plus means that the packaging of vegan make-up is also free from animal additives and ingredients.
