Why should you consider becoming vegan and cruelty-free?


You’ve heard what it’s all about – vegan products, cruelty-free products, plant-based diets… but what is it and what does it mean for the beauty industry? 

Let’s take a look at why everyone is jumping on this trend and see if #vegan #crueltyfree is worth it? 

Being vegan and cruelty-free doesn’t mean you have to sign a petition to protect animals or fight for animal rights, it basically means you have to live without consuming animal products and by-products. 

Additionally, when looking more closely at skin and body care products, the terms “vegan” and “cruelty-free” may mean that the products are not tested on animals and that no animals are used to make such products. 

However, vegan and cruelty-free products tend to be more expensive than similar products due to the additional research required and the cost of sourcing alternative ingredients to more well-known animal-derived ingredients. 

But the bright side is that if you put in a little extra, you might be able to reap the benefits. Here are some of the many benefits of a vegan and cruelty-free diet. 

1. You can protect the planet!: Vegan and cruelty-free brands often choose more non-toxic and safer ingredients. This is because brands naturally want to prevent customers from any harm and allergic reactions without using animal testing. 

By using more natural ingredients, less damage is done to the planet when we throw away used bottles and containers of skincare and personal care products because they don't pollute the planet like chemical products do. 

2. Vegan, cruelty-free products are safer! If you choose to use cruelty-free body and skin care products, use products that are free of harsh chemicals like sulfates, artificial fragrances, and parabens. 

These safer products are less likely to cause adverse health effects such as allergies, inflammation, and irritation. 

Without these horrible side effects, your skin's overall health will be better in the long run, and you'll definitely feel less stressed about your skin condition. 

3. You'll feel better! If you choose to only buy products that are vegan and cruelty-free, you'll feel better as a compassionate person for taking care of your own skin, not at the expense of other lives. 

When you know you're choosing to spend your money at an ethical store, you know your purchase is making an impact and may even one day end animal cruelty. 

4. Be more cautious in your beauty choices and practices! Knowing which brands to buy will definitely make you smarter when it comes to making decisions and choosing which skin and body care products to buy. 

By making your choices more carefully, you'll not only reduce waste, but you'll save your wallet in the long run by buying only the essentials. 

With all of these good reasons to choose vegan and cruelty-free when choosing your skin and body care products, maybe it’s time to jump on the bandwagon toward a safe and animal-loving world.
