So What Is Vegan Beauty And Is it Worth A Try? – Longevity LIVE – Longevity LIVE
Posted: November 27, 2020 at 9:50 am
One of the largest beauty trends of 2020, according to Byrdie, is vegan beauty. It seems that veganism isnt just a diet, it extends into beauty too. With the rise of vegan and plant-based diets, its understandable that people want a bit more from their beauty products too. Beauty products have become part of a larger lifestyle choice. And the appeal of vegan beauty products is far-reaching. The super-rich and celebs have really got on board with a more vegan lifestyle. In 2020, consumers want cruelty free products and products without any additives they dont understand.
Having the label vegan on products has become a way for consumers to quickly understand the product.In other words, vegan beauty has become a sort of umbrella term which is used to describe a wide range of products. These products are typically produced without harm to animals. They arent tested on animals and also likely dont use any animal products, by-products, or derivatives.
According to an article on Vogue, common animal ingredients include beeswax, lanolin (which is the grease from sheeps wool), carmine (a red color from crushed cochineal insects), and uric acid from cows. Cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos told Today that lanolin is somewhat of a point of contention. Lanolin comes from the grease in sheeps wool. Its necessary, so that the sheep arent injured, to shave it so that the coat doesnt become too heavy. But even though it doesnt affect the sheep at all and is quite a natural part of the cycle, lanolin is usually left out of vegan products.
So whats up with these products? Are they better for your skin? It seems that products without animal derivatives are in fact better for your skin. Of course, there are obvious benefits like the fact that youre reducing environmental damage. However, its also great for your skin.Vegan products are not only kinder to the planet but kinder to your skin.
Dr. Debra Jaliman, a board-certified New York City dermatologist says that manyvegan skincare and beauty products contain vitamins and are filled with
This makes it easier to decide whether its something we want to put on our skin. Remember that the skin is the largest organ so everything you put on it is absorbed into the body. This is of course not to say that all non-vegan products are harmful or indeed full of chemicals. And its also not to say that all vegan products are completely safe. Dr. Anthony M. Rossi warns though that just because something is vegan doesnt mean you cant be allergic to it. In fact, many plants and plant-based ingredients can cause skin irritation and contact dermatitis.
Even though vegan is an easy buzz word to look out for on packaging, it doesnt always mean what we think it should. For instance, although cruelty-free and vegan are associated, there is no guarantee that your vegan products are definitely cruelty-free. And it works the other way around too, brands can be cruelty-free but not vegan. Essentially, its vital, as a consumer, to read labels. Its up to us to make sure we are well informed and know what it is were buying. Also, remember that ingredients can be ethically sourced. So your favorite face wash may use ethically sourced ingredients, but theyre still animal by-products. Its also easy to assume that all vegan products are organic and vice versa but that is also not the case.
Vegan skincare and beauty products are definitely worth a try. Often, they arent actually more expensive than their non-vegan counterparts. Anything we can do to help the environment is worth it. If youre not sure about giving up your collagen or lanolin quite yet, maybe opt for cruelty-free, natural, and/or organic products instead. Youre still helping the environment and practicing kindness after all.
